APAD 158: Upside-down
A friendly, frequent visitor in our garden. Leo the Lizard hanging around while we had our morning coffee earlier today.
APAD 157: Shrine
My husband and I put on our explorer hats last Sunday and went on a walking tour of our new neighbourhood. We saw this local shrine. It is interesting to note the swastika sign on the pavilion on the right. It is actually called a swastika brahma.
APAD 153: Wooden house
I’m so in love with this Khmer traditional wooden house (see picture). A traditional Khmer house is typically built on stilts, about 2-3ms above the ground.
When my husband and I finally decide to settle, our dream house will definitely bear some features of a Khmer house – an external staircase that leads up to the living area, with wooden beams and shutters, and a wrap-around balcony. The ground area serve will also serve as the parking space or a recreation place; it can also serve as a resting area (hang our hammocks and doze off to lala-land!), or, can be a dirty kitchen.
APAD 151: Trimmed
Was Edward Scissorhands here? This decoratively trimmed plants could fetch hundreds to thousands of dollar per tree.
APAD 150: Thorny
Cactus, cacti. Anyone?
My husband and I went on a sight-seeing trip at the Chroy Changvar Peninsula. Along the way are a few garden shops selling all sorts of plants. Above is the cactus section. I do not know their names but I like the ones with pretty yellow flowers on the foreground and the coloured ones (red, yellow and orange mostly) on the middleground. The large spherical ones are just as lovely!
These various cacti are used for landscaping but will brighten anyone’s window sill or or garden (when bigger). They surely add texture and colour, shape and colour to the landscape.
