During the one week break at the end of Winter Quarter, I joined four other Malaysian friends on a hike in the Point Reyes National Seashore park (http://www.nps.gov/pore/index.htm). It was a semi-cloudy, not too sunny day although it was bright enough for me to snap some nice pictures.
The beginning of the trail we took.
I took about 300 pictures during the hike, of which fewer than 30 were focused on humans. The rest were all insects, plants, lichens, slugs and some spiders. The skew says more about the (lack of) appeal of my fellow human companions than of my bias for non-human subjects.
Yellow flowers along a trail in Point Reyes National Seashore. March 24, 2010.
There were many different plants along the Palomarin Trail, and they come in all sorts of colors and shapes too. One of them had yellow flowers on a bed of green, and as the wind blew and the flowers swayed among the green grass, they would shifted in and out of my vision. Twinkling, like stars on a cloudy night sky.
Was I the first person to see these yellow flowers as stars on the ground?
I hope not.
I believe not.
Stars on the ground make it sound so sad for some reason. :(
