Today was another outing, this time with the Primary 3, A and B classes. We visited a nature education center in the New Territories (we are on the west side and the center is on the east side). It was a harrowing bus ride (lots of curves). One little boy was afraid of bees, so whenever he saw a picture of a bee, he grabbed my hand tightly and hid his face. He must have had a traumatic experience with bees at some time in his young life.
I was pleasantly surprise at the wonderful collection of shells. In fact, I never imagined that there was such a beautiful variety of color, shape, and design. A marvelous attestation to the marvel of God’s creation.
Another room held a variety of rocks, every kind you could think of. Along with the rocks were quite a selection of fossils to appreciate.
The trip took four hours and while at the nature center, we had our noon lunch (each person had snacks that they brought with them). The decibel level on the bus on the return trip must have been close to 110. That trip pooped me out!
There were many cases of shells such as these!
Fossils were clear and well defined.
The girls chose to have snacks at their own table.
THE FLOWERS IN THE PARK WERE SIMPLY OUTSTANDING!!
I was most thankful that there was no rain. We have had cloudy days since I arrived a week ago. Two-thirds of those days also had rain. This morning when I looked at the forecast for the next week, the weather was cloudy with showers daily. Life is looking up; the temperature was to be warmer. A high of 70 and a low of 65 is much more to my liking. And, you know what, taking pictures of flowers is always much better on cloudy days - they don't get washed out by the sun.
Pretty flowers!
