2010 Flashback includes Blotanical

In a flash, 2010 is over.
In a flash, all will be forgotten.
Before that happens, here are some of the flashbacks of 2010.


We visited D'Paradise in Malacca.
There was a weird upside down house in a native village, lots of fruits and camera-friendly animals. 


I have added many plants in the garden and chillies happenned to get quite a lot of attention in 2010.


Some of the gratifying harvest were from the longan, mango and dragon fruits.
Lotus seeds taste delicious when eaten raw.


Some animals dropped by in 2010.

A cute, little lost dog came by and was bathed and taken care of by my daughter till we found the rightful owner.

A stray cat appeared suddenly in the neighbourhood and 'rubbed shoulders' with everyone. The joy it brought was short-lived as it was knocked down by a vehicle a few weeks later.

A sparrow who lost its mother was tweezer-fed every half hourly till it could fly. It had an even more tragic ending compared to the cat. As it flew into the bushes, Clifford, (our pet dog) leapt into the bushes too and turned into a hunter. Perhaps he couldn't resist eating 'chicken wings'. We had 2 heartbreaks; one for losing the sparrow and the other for realizing that Clifford is not a bird lover.


My family had a great time at the beach in December.
I am not in the picture since I was the one snapping away.


Last but not least, I must admit that Blotanical is a wonderful portal which I have discovered in 2010.
It is through Blotanical, that I have found many wonderful friends with similar interests.
I like the idea that some of you rescue butterflies in winter and some hug trees.
Some of you are generously giving away home-saved seeds and many are happily receiving and sowing them.
Some  of you are super talented in photography and some of you are multi-talented.
Many of you are just super-de-duper sweet with encouraging words.
I am grateful to know you via Blotanical.

Blotanical is much, much more than a Gardening Blogs Directory.

From the picks I received on my post, I know many of you do read and enjoy my blog although you may not comment here.
From the messages in Blotanical, we get to communicate with one another easily.
From the plot in Blotanical, we get to know each other better even before we visit one another.

Blotanical has attracted a friendly yet interesting group of talented people.
I thank Blotanical which is the portal that enabled us to know each other better and am definitely glad to have embarked on this meaningful journey.

Frankly, I have joined several groups before and have removed my blog from them except Blotanical.

If you are not with Blotanical yet and wondering how to JOIN Blotanical, you have to figure out how to do it yourself.
It is TOP SECRET and I am not revealing it.
Have a great year in 2011!!!
