月蚀开始

还有一小半

月全食，变成红色，原因是红色光波长长，不容易被地球挡住

During the last day of my trip to Hangzhou, I spent two hours in its Botanic Garden. This is a Chinese style garden, with traditional architectures and plants. The first thing caught my attention was the maple leaves. I am a bit impressed that they are still on the trees while the Canadian maples leaves have been long gone due to its colder weather.

The next thing is a Chinese garden. It still looks quite lively.

Then I was impressed by the giant fishes in the Fishes’ Paradise Garden (鱼乐园). I estimate that this guy is about 1.5 meters long.

Kids are certainly also amazed.

in a Chinese style building:

You can also see people playing Taiji Sword, which is used by Chinese for strengthening their bodies, not for killing others.

Fortunately, I caught the tail of a Chrysanthemum flowers show.

This reminds me my visit to a Tulip Garden in Rotterdam or a Rose Garden in London. All have many variations of a same spice:

It was 9am in the morning, so you can still see some dews on it.

If you don’t like yellow ones, then you may switch to purple ones.

Some special arrangement may look even nicer:

I certainly like these Giant Pandas:

Of course, eventually, everything will die, just like this:

or this

But it you are lucky enough, you may grow older together with someone, just like this couple:

to appreciate something young and beautiful, together:

If life is a long way, then you may start from this view,

and end with this view

What do you think?

Some early flowers start to bloom as well. This is the earliest as far as I know:

This photo was taken a week later:

But don’t worry about the dead ones, as the other flowers also wake up:

Although there is still some possibility to snow:

It even freezes the pipe:

but the sun turns the snow into water, which encourages more shoots come out.

Yep, spring is unstoppable, when it comes finally.

伦敦自然历史博物馆是欧洲最大的自然历史博物馆。原为1753年创建的不列颠博物馆的一部分，1881年由总馆分出，1963年正式独立。爱好自然，想看它历史的人可千万别错过。

这是博物馆的外观（维多利亚式建筑，形似中世纪大教堂）：

This is a trip I made with my friends on October 12, 2009. Hao searched the Internet and found a trial to a waterfall, which is not far from Antigonish. It is about 30 minutes driving from the town center. Here is the google map address.

Click the above photo for the whole album. The following ones are selected from the album.

We certainly enjoy the view on the way:

The leaves have different colors:

It is a very colorful world indeed:

This is me with my Patagonia jacket:

My friends Hao and Maggie:

This is a lonely apple:

A small stream:

and a diving maple leaf:

Now we finally went into the woods. The trail was already narrow, and the water on it made the trip even more bumpy.

We were asking directions:

After we crossed this river, we were almost there:

Welcome to the waterfall:

漫天繁星, originally uploaded by jiruan.

记得小时候在家乡也能这么清晰看到这样的星空，可是后来每次回家，天空都有一种灰蒙蒙的感觉，晚上就表现为很难再看到闪烁的星星。什么时候家乡的朋友们也会重新拥有照片中这样的星空？

下面这一张虽然看上去像白昼，但是和上面是同一个时间拍的，你能看到星星们移动的轨迹！其中的小窍门就是长时间曝光（这张是6分多钟）：

如果点击图片，你则能够看到更加清晰的大图。

Lily with Water is different from Water lily. :)
