Pearl Osyter

The formation of a natural pearl begins when a foreign substance slips into the oyster between the mantle and the shell, which irritate­s the mantle. It's kind of like the oyster getting a splinter. The oyster's natural reaction is to cover up that irritant to protect itself. The man­tle covers the irritant with layers of the same nacre substance that is used to create the shell. This eventually forms a pearl.

It's slippery and wet!


I was in Beijing in 2006. We were brought to a pearl factory where I saw this huge osyter filled with pearls. Guess how many pearls were there..

Unique flower

Captured these unique flowers at Hong Kong International Airport.



And 't is my faith, that every flower
Enjoys the air it breathes.
- William Wordsworth



Scorpion

Of above thousand species of scorpions some twenty
have the poison enough in their venom to affect the humans.
So if unfortunately you got a scorpion sting,
stay cool as the chances of being getting poisoned is only 2%.

Ipoh Sky

I was driving back from town and the view in front of me was nice..You could see views of mountain almost everywhere..


When one door of happiness closes, another opens;
But often we look so long at the closed door that
we do not see the one that has been opened for us.
Helen Keller

Oncidium Orchid

My orchid plant has blossomed into beautiful flowers.

The Oncidium Orchid is often referred to as a spray orchid due to its slender laterals with sweeping petals. The Orchid is a durable and fragrant tropical flower. This intense yellow Orchid would add an exotic beauty to any wedding bouquet, table centerpiece or flower arrangement.

Feeding time


Adopt the pace of nature; her secret is patience.
