Hippy Hippo

No formal zoo in HK but we do have some hippos in the park. A happy family here and if you look closer you'll find the hippy hippo with a flower on its head ;-). By the way, the green plants in the background are lotus leaves, when dried, they give a pleasant fragrance and are very often used to make rice dumplings.

Wonderful pics. They look like stepping stones. Question: why do I need to scroll down quite far to find your photos? Is it my computer or something on your end?

That's interesting information about the lotus leaves. Never thought of eating them.

HI, Kate, I don't what the problem is cos' I've tried at other computers and it seems normal...does anybody else have this problem?

Is Kris the only one who noticed the reflection? I like it too.

And I forgot to mention that wrap the food in the lotus leaves and cook it, but we don't eat the leaves...

Thanks for the footprints
