Naughty Yoyo!

I know my Yoyo is a joke...  He is so outrageous that I don't know how to fix him...  He chases off other fish like crazy in the tank and it sort of pisses me off, so I stood in front of the tank, pointed and stared angrily at him.  He freaked out and hide inside the Moai decor.  Waited after a few minutes alone in the dark, he sneaks out (if I'm not around) and chases other fish again!  To catch him on camera, I purposely sit next to the tank and wait for him to emerge! 

 You see him?!  He knew that I was sitting next to the tank and starring at him, so he didn't dare to come out!

 He was very patient though!  I was there at the dead corner sweating because my A/C was down that day!!

 I've been waiting for almost 20 minutes hot hot and he didn't move!  And I didn't wanna leave knowing that he will sneak out and I will need to knock him back into the hole to start the wait all over again, I sat somewhere else, a place where he can't see me!!  LOL!!

 Waiting was bored and I was getting impatient...shooting at one of my poor Cory Cat here!  This is the kind of fish my Yoyo specifically like to chase!

 Bored~~  Shooting at my Neon and Congo here.  I don't know why, my Congos never look like an ordinary 'Congo'!!  It doesn't have those long fins or fancy body color...

 His head poked out just enough to see that I'm around!!  LOL!!

 Retrieving, he decided not to risk this!

"Oh well what the fuzz!!"  He decided to ignore me and come out after spending almost 30 minutes alone in the dark!

 Fudging out!

 Hide in the 'bushes' right away, he starred at me...

Bastard!  >=P

花花世界 - 第四彈

I guess this will be my last batch of flower pictures.  I took these pictures mostly from a garden nursery in Markham.  Mom likes going to this place to get her plants because they have a lot of varieties and sometimes you will see plants that no other places sell.  I like going to this nursery too because it's pretty huge and I can spend a nice afternoon there. 

Sunflower 向日葵

I don't know what this plant is, and in fact, I don't even know why I took this picture...

Flower bulb.  This will bloom a nice purple flower, which of course, I don't know the name of that plant...  I find this bulb cute 'coz it's in pentagon shape.

I don't know the name of this plant...I just know it belongs to a cactus family.

I find this flower cute 'coz it looks like as if it has a cap.

This is not an elephant ear for sure, but I guess it belongs to the same family?!

First time seeing one single stem of flower has three different colors!  Cool!


This plant reminds me of Christmas.

A very common 'wild' flower I see everywhere in Hong Kong in the city or at the hill side.  Indeed, we have to 'pay' to get this flower here in Canada!

I don't know what this plant is, but for sure Mom has bought it.

This plant is cool!  Looks like something you can eat....

This bunch of plant looks like baby greens to me....although for sure I know it's not eatable.

I was actually focusing on the bumble bee in this picture...and I'm afraid it will sting me when I get too close...

Miniature Hosta

This plant actually looks pretty cute in a pot.



This nursery garden is somewhere at Warden Ave.  Don't really remember where it is because it's kinda north.

This is a morning glory.

Ivy

I find these pots very pretty.  Just don't know what sort of plants do they put inside.

Here is a closer shot of one of the pot.

This is what Mom has bought that day.

Flower bulb, forgot what kind of flower it is.


I think these decorations are pretty cute, so I took a picture of them.  I found them in the Sheridan Garden at the Lawrence location.

I always wonder what do people use these things for....decorations??  Or they actually plant something with it?


I always like taking pictures of leafs with water drops on it.  =)

Bonsai.

First time seeing a blue Orchid, so I snap and go.

These are my Mom's home grown orchid.  She is very proud of it and always ask me to take picture of it...

I don't really like orchid myself, so I can't tell if it's nice or not...  @@

This is another specie, that's all I can tell...

Sunset

I can see sunset from my balcony as you may know.  I didn't realize how beautiful it is because I always close my blinds during sunset.  Light beams through my balcony into my living room and brings in the heat, which it raises the temperature here and I don't like it, so I have to close all blinds to keep my place cool.

I took these 'continuous' shots at home one day .  I have to go out to my balcony from time to time to catch the prefect moment.

It's quite amazing to myself that these pictures have those 'ball-shallow' above the sun, which they just appear in a coincident I guess?!


Almost there...

The sun is all gone now.

Here is a picture taken at around 9:30pm several days ago.
