Hi กุหลาบ มัทนา and Dr. Ple : I like to have mindfulness (sati/samaadhi) but one often gets distracts by serenity and beauty. I enjoy letting my mind open and ready to receive any 'dhamma' arises.

The picture of Yoyo and Andy was taken in a drought affected year (3 years ago). The dam was half empty and grasses were browning. Today, the dam is full (of water) and grasses over-run the landscape. We will some bushfire control (cutting grasses and prunning some trees) and use some waterlilies for mulching. (I admit -- this is not natural but more cultural, but who cares about the difference ;-) .
