Grass

It’s nice to look at green grass. And there’s no shortage of green at the backyard. Very soothing to the eyes. But i hate the weed that sprouts right after rain. The Sony T100 once again had no problem picking up the fine details on this patch of green. See how the tiny leaves stand out against the larger ones.

This is Ginseng flowers. You’ve all seen the root, but i guess not this. These bulbs are actually very tiny. About 1mm in diameter each. This is what i drink in the morning to help me stay alert. Tastes just like the roots, minus the hefty pricetag. I am very pleased with this picture. Superb clarity at such close proximity.

I love these Lavender flowers. Bought them from the Tea Gallery. If you’re having trouble sleeping, you can steep them into tea and i guarantee you you’ll soon sleep like a baby. Works for me. Just dont use boiling hot water or you’ll cook them, lol. Or you can try wrapping them into a small hanky or muslin cloth ands place them inside your pillow. Hang them at theair-conditioner as a natural air-purifier. Has anti-bacterial properties too. Great for soothing cranky babies too.

Rose

As beautiful as a rose. So pink…. so romantic…. so fragrant. This is actually a dried rose bud, which i make rose tea with once in a while. I love the light and delicately sweet taste it imparts when the cup reaches my lips. They say rose tea is good for the skin and heart. I’ve had so many cups already, but i dont see any difference also, lol. It’s about to finish. Time to replenish stock.
