PHOTO HUNTERS – WATER

This week’s theme is on WATER.
Earth is made up of 71% WATER and 29% land.
Whenever the WATER vaporizes into the air,
it would be condensed and stay in the atmosphere
until it reaches precipitation and fall back to earth
either frozen or as rainfalls.
This is called the WATER Cycle.

Sometimes after a rainfall,
you can see WATER droplets everywhere.
Jayson found something interesting in the garden
after a heavy downpour this afternoon.

The rain has created a wonderful effect on the leaves of
a Kaffir Lime Tree with tiny WATER droplets.

Just look at how beautiful it is to have WATER droplets
accumulating at the tips of the thorns.

Even a caterpillar has to brave through the heavy downpour
with evidence of tiny WATER droplets on its body.

PHOTO HUNTERS: TWIST(ED)

This week’s theme is on TWIST(ED).
Lucky Bamboo Plant (Ribbon Plant) can be TWISTED
by rotating the plant towards specific light sources.
It will take time and patience to achieve this effect.
The Asians considered this plant as a Feng Shui plant,
believing that it will bring in good Qi (natural energy)
into a household based on its vitality and strong growth.
This is how beautiful it can be when some red ribbons
and ornaments are decorated onto the TWISTED stems.

This TWISTED plant can shaped as though there are
some bamboo vipers twisting around the bamboo plant.
Sometimes, the growers will TWIST them like a pineapple (Ong Lai).
In Feng Shui term, pineapple (Ong Lai) means good luck is coming.
These TWISTED plants can be grown in soil or in water for years.
