There lots of rain durning this summer in Beijing, always cloudy day or raining day, the sun disappeared until August 16th. When sun come back, Vrans and ShangNing decide to have a rest. We went to Beijing Botanical Garden, it’s not far from our home.

Because not weekend, and the temperature is high, so few tourists there. Few tourists is comfortable, it’s not usually in Beijing. The pure summer and cicada’s song let we feel very nice.

Cao Xueqin is famous writer in China. A Dream of Red Mansions was written by him. This was the house of him.

Grass on ancient.

Mushroom on ancient. (PS: these 2 pictures were taken by Vrans. I really don’t know what she think about…)

There are 5 big ball on the plant. (PS: this picture was taken by me, I think it’s better than my wife’s, haha lol…)

We really like cats. I guess cats like we too. This cat likes our Tudoar and Gozi.

The Lion Symbol was designed with the Chinese style, I like Chinese styles and symbols, it’s cool.

Mantis, green mantis looks like a part of tree.

Cicada, I can’t sure the word is right. In Beijing, people named it ‘Zhi Liao’ or ‘Fu Tian’, means the worm of summer.

Leaves, that day really a sun day, the sun light really enough.

This plant is really amazing, it looks like a green flower, we never see it before, and we don’t know its name. When we came back, we started google it, and found it named hosta.

Hosta Plantaginea Aschers, I think wikipedia or EOL are good way to study about it.

Unknown flowers. I dont care, I know it is beatiful, it’s enought for me.

There are many flowers, but no namecard. I like this picture, because this was taken by a tip.

Sedum spectabile Boreau.

The lotus bud. Maybe next month is good time to tour there again.

……

Through the crack, we could see the blue sky.

Wow, yahoo! (PS: my wife is good at sport)

And last, thanks the sunshine, grass and bluesky.
