Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone!


Better late than never.I have deserted my blog for a long time but now back finally.
The good news is that I have been busy with commissions but, must admit to some holiday laziness too.
In Hong Kong we have another holiday on the 31st too, so am going to make my resolutions for the Chinese New Year.....

Everyday in May 5 Pine Tree

My bedraggled pine tree on the roof...{unfinished)......bought as a Christmas tree many years ago, it really needs a big plant pot (or a home in the ground) but makes do with plastic storage box. The tree falls over in every typhoon but keeps surviving. Not sure which type it is...either a Norfolk or Cook pine......

Tin Shack, Lamma Island

will update the description tomorrow. Happy Sunday...........

When I first moved to Lamma I think this bit of land was still being farmed(vegetable growing). (The area close to it still is) Now, after many years of being neglected the building rubble is getting higher in preparation for a new village or paths to be formed. I just wanted to capture it, more to follow on larger paper. For all you ex-Lammarites it's the little bit on the right before the tofu stand.
More studies to follow.
