[Daily Photo] Tennis courts on Central Campus at twilight / 暮光下的網球場

I was on Central Campus of the University of Michigan near Palmer Field. There are  tennis courts near the busy Washtenaw Ave. The empty courts with colorful night scene on the background just looked amazing.

拍攝於密西根大學的中校區。無人的網球場與背景五彩繽紛的街景形成強烈的對比。

[Daily Photo] Inside the blacksmith's shop / 古老的打鐵舖內

This photo was taken inside the Cotswold Forge at Greenfield Village (located in Dearborn, Michigan). The Forge was built in Snowshills, England in the Cotswold region in the 1600s, and was reconstructed in the Greenfield Village in 1931. Blacksmiths made and repaired iron tools in this Forge. You can see how many tools they had for blacksmithing.

在密西根州的綠野村內有一間重建的英國古老打鐵舖。看了才知道原來鐵匠的工具這麼多，光是火鉗就有好幾種。

[Daily Photo] Bee and peony 2 / 蜂與芍藥

I posted a photo of "Bee and peony" two weeks ago. This is another photo I took on the same day. Although the bee is smaller than the one in the previous photo, it still match perfectly with the peony.

兩星期前我發表過一張「蜜蜂與牡丹花」的照片，這張照片也是同一天拍攝的。照片中的蜜蜂雖然比前一張的小，卻也不失風采。上網查了資料才發現原來「芍藥」和「牡丹」英文都是同一個字peony。二者的不同之處在於牡丹是木本植物，長的像樹；而芍藥是早本植物，沒有明顯的樹幹。所以牡丹的英文也有人稱為tree peony.
