☀️ A sunny alley surprise 🐾
We stopped to enjoy the sunlight after shopping, and this handsome yellow cat walked right up to us — like he had something to say! 😸
My sister gave him a quick pat, then we ran away… because we didn’t have any cat food! 😂 #cat #catlovers #yellowcat #catencounter

We took a walk to the Stirling Old Bridge today. The sky was full of clouds, but the weather stayed kind. The leaves were turning gold, and the whole place felt quietly beautiful. It’s one of those autumn days that make you want to slow down and just look around. #scotland #autumnvibes #bluesky

#Autumn Palette 🍂
Oak, maple, and cherry — each tree paints the ground in its own shade of #fall. From gold to crimson, the colours of the season quietly unfold. #autumnvibes #autumnleaves #goldenleaves #yellowleaves

🐒 Robbery in broad daylight at Shing Mun Reservoir 🍞
Back in 2021, a cheeky monkey snatched our friend’s bread near the entrance — lightning fast and no regrets. Next time they might just grab our phones too. 😆#ShingMunReservoir #HongKong #MonkeyBusiness #Nature #Naturelovers #Monkey

Tried something new today — cookie stamps on our mixed seeds dough. The plan: rustic charm with a delicate imprint. The result: I should’ve pressed harder 😅 Still, they came out golden, nutty, and crunchy! 🍪 #baking #cookies #homemade #rusticcharm #homebaking

An early sign of autumn — this oak tree has already turned golden while its neighbours stay green. 🍂 Nature never moves all at once. #Autumn #Nature #OakTree #FallVibes #Seasons

These snaps were from 2015 - long before tourism really ramped up. What hasn't changed? That single wind turbine. Built in 2006 as a pilot project...and nearly 20 years later, it's still spinning solo lie a forgotten science fair project. #LammaIsland #WindPower #WindMill #HongKong

It’s such a shame to see this beautiful tree brought down by the recent storm. Its blossoms were breathtaking in spring, and it’s hard to imagine that same tree now lying on the ground. Nature’s beauty can be fleeting, yet it reminds us to cherish those moments while they last. #fallentree #nature

Today’s walk was a free shower courtesy of the storm – no chance of a decent photo. So here are some snaps from yesterday: withered leaves in the rain. Pretty much how we looked after today… soggy, wilted, and in need of a blow-dry. 🌧️🍂 #rainyday #ScottishWeather #AutumnVibes #FallingLeaves

Walked to Tesco today in the drizzle 🌧️. The air was cool, the sky was grey, and the leaves are starting to turn golden 🍂. Even though the photos don’t quite capture it, #autumn is definitely on its way. #goldenleaves #naturelovers

Yesterday’s walk was wrapped in drizzle and showers, the sky painted in grey. 🌧️ As usual, we ended up caught in the rain on the way home. Still, autumn in Scotland has its quiet beauty—flowers still bloom by the roadside, adding colour even on the dampest days. 🍂🌸 #scotland #flower #naturelovers

A single yellow leaf resting by the roadside this afternoon—quietly reminding me that #autumn has just begun. 🍂 Soon, the paths will be covered in golden layers, each step echoing the season’s change. #autumnvibes #yellowleaves #nature

Coffee + chocolate = the perfect snow-skin mooncake combo ☕🍫✨
This time we used two molds: a pretty rose 🌹 and a traditional lion head 🦁.
Same filling, two very different vibes—elegant vs. festive! Which one’s your pick? 🌕 #mooncake #snowskinmooncake #moonfestival #handmade

Big haircut for our tall trees this week 🌳✂️—hello sunshine at last ☀️!
But our little yoga pigeon isn’t so sure… yesterday it looked worried, and this morning it was hopping branch to branch in search of the perfect perch 🐦🧘. #nature #treetrimmed

We’ve been busy in the kitchen making snow skin mooncakes 🍵🌕!
This time we filled them with sweet potato paste and lotus seed paste – two classic flavours that are smooth, lightly sweet, and so comforting.

Early-morning window watch: a grey pigeon perches, preens and stretches its wings — like someone doing yoga next door. #naturelovers #pigeons #preening #birdlovers

Yesterday’s sky was a mix of moods — bursts of sunshine peeking through heavy clouds, shifting between bright and brooding. 🌤️☁️ #cloudysky #moodysky #naturelovers

🌹 A rose and its humble fruit—the rosehip. Rosehip oil is prized in skincare, yet hedgerows are full of them. Why? It takes countless seeds and careful pressing to make just a little oil. Most remain for birds and the wild—beauty hidden in plain sight. 🍂✨ #rose #rosehip #rosehipoil

These photos were taken a couple days ago. On my walk I came across these striking blooms, their tall spikes of purple bracts and white flowers still holding on, though a little withered as autumn quietly settles in. 🍂🌸 #flowers #autumn #naturelovers #flowerlovers

Summer’s brush paints the Rose of Sharon in shades of fuchsia and silk, each bloom unfolding like a whispered secret to the sun. #flowers #naturelovers #roseofsharon
