Urban Garden.3
Many readers will have noticed that you can see photos’ file names either by hovering over an image with your mouse, or by tapping-clicking on the image so that the image file itself opens. I was delighted to see the comment from my fellow meditator Gretchen (hi, Gretchen!), on the bonus Nature-Therapy post https://somuchworldsolittletime.com/2020/05/06/nature-therapy-31/, which validated my sense that those were quince. I invite comments from anyone more experienced than I, telling me whether my guess about what these large and ungainly tree-grown fruit-like items are. If it’s what I think it is, I have indeed eaten it once or twice when I was visiting or living in one or more of Taiwan, mainland China or Thailand.
I’m completely delighted by how many comments you’re all writing on the blog. I hope soon to carve out a window of time for some personalized replies to all you wonderful, faithful viewers and commenters who keep me feeling it’s worth continuing to post something new each day, thus helping me balance social separation with some virtual but vital connection :-). Hugs and wishes for courage, fortitude, and evidence-based, science-and-reality-driven public policy wherever you may find yourselves 🙂
Signs of the County.Bonus
I discovered one more un-posted photo from one of my favorite little corners of my favorite local park, and since I’m feeling a trifle homesick these days, I figured I’d add it to my current nature-therapy theme to interweave with the other urban and city signs and scenes I’m sharing and seeing :-).

…smw, slt feels that perhaps some explanations are due to our viewing public in this beautiful, organic and troubled world. I am, and have been, resident in my apartment here in Dhaka — under partial movement restrictions since late March but back in Dhaka since the beginning of March. A month ago I started my “nature therapy” series, using photos I’d taken on a lovely day of hiking and exploring the beach with dear friends back in February. I have now very nearly run through those photos, and so as to extend my sense of connection with the beauties of my home county, I am now weaving in whatever photos I can take here in Dhaka on the days I get out of the apartment, or take from one of my windows or balconies. I hope it will remain interesting enough to bring you back. I’m certainly seeing and appreciating far more birds than I saw when traffic was so much heavier!
