香港濕地公園 (HK Wetland Park)之遊-2

室外展區相比室內展區更為有趣, 在自然的生態環境下, 可以看到到雀鳥、昆蟲、魚類等。例如蝸牛,蜻蜓, 還有不常見的「彈塗魚」及擁有左右大小不相稱蟹鉗的「招潮蟹」。原來「招潮蟹」的大蟹鉗只是護衛作用, 真正是用細蟹鉗來覓食的, 如果掉了細蟹鉗,「招潮蟹」是很難生存的。當潮退時, 在浮橋那邊的泥沼上會看到很多細小生物, 如「招潮蟹」及「彈塗魚」等。

還有鱷魚「貝貝」都是住在這裡的, 貝貝之家就是牠的居所。

夏天將至, 濕地公園的荷花及睡蓮花盛放, 荷花有粉紅及白色, 睡蓮花則有桃紅,白色及紫色。荷花及睡蓮雖然很類似, 可是荷花花期只有三天, 而睡蓮花期比較長, 有十多天, 荷花的葉子長高於水面, 葉子沒有缺口; 而睡蓮葉子則浮在水面,葉子有缺口。 睡蓮在日間開花, 傍晚或天色暗時, 睡蓮會收起花瓣,像進入睡眠時間那樣。荷花葉面上有一層蠟質, 方便落在葉面上的水快速流走, 所以水份很容易在葉面聚成水珠。

濕地公園除了荷花之外,其他花卉亦開得繽紛燦爛, 散發著夏日香氣!

園內有許多罕見的樹木及植物, 例如「牛乳樹」因果實會流出白色汁液如牛乳般而得名, 也因四片葉子呈對應的形態, 又名為「對葉榕」。    

開著一顆顆白色小毛絨球般小花的「水團花」。 牛耳朵形狀的「牛耳楓」, 葉下長有細小的卵形醬果。

樹木原來也有非以種子繁殖的, 濕地「紅樹」就以樹胎繁殖, 樹木會長出筆形樹胎, 當樹胎墜到泥沼上, 樹胎再發芽長出另一株「紅樹」。

伏在水面生長的粉綠狐尾藻, 羽狀的針葉,,形態優美。還有「杜紅花」, 未開花時, 纍纍小顆粒花蕾組成球狀, 成熟時顆粒開始有顏色, 開花時顆粒張開為小花朵 , 附圖為紫色「杜紅花」。

這天天氣晴朗中帶點小雨, 遊覽濕地公園並不太熱, 還有習習涼風, 原來此公園是採用新科技, 把地面熱氣抽到地下, 涼風是自然風 , 所以特別清爽。

賞花賞葉, 涼風輕拂除俗念 ,

   觀魚觀鳥, 細雨小灑滌心靈。

遊完濕地公園猶如上了一課生態及植物課, 增加了不少這方面的認識。也令我感覺到環境及生態保護的重要性, 要有保育工作才能確保大自然美景不致於逐漸消失。

香港濕地公園 (HK Wetland Park)之遊-1

香港濕地公園位於元朗天水圍, 是一個濕地生態環境保育公園, 兼具教育效能。以下是入口:

      

          

公園分為「室內展覽區」同「戶外展覽區」兩種。遊覽前先取一張遊覽咭, 上面有五個地點, 中庭、 觀景廊、盈塘觀鳥屋、 河畔觀鳥屋及泥灘觀鳥屋。 遊覽完每個地點, 蓋個印章, 集齊五款, 基本要遊覽的區域, 可算是大致遊過。 在中庭蓋了章,便出發。

先遊覽室內景區

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

室內展區展覽的多是標本、 模型及實物樣品、圖文的介紹,也有些互動的小遊戲。

幽默的分手信及回信

此篇經網路上傳閱, 作者不詳, 覺得非常幽默, 反覆再看也饒有趣味,  貼出來分享一下:

{男方提出的分手信}

Dear :

想向你辭去情人的職務，任職一年多來，在崗位上我努力學習，克盡職守，對你噓寒問暖，小心翼翼，揣測你的需要，滿足你各方面需求。在感情上--提供你慰藉，讓你有被愛的感覺；在行動上--等待、接送、陪伴、更只是基本工作。雖不經手財務，卻要負起所有買單重責；三不五時還要送禮討你歡心。

一個稱職的情人要溫柔體貼，還要心胸寬闊。聽你提及對別的男人的大方及讚賞，不可以醋勁大發。 剛任職之時不知如何拿捏，犯了幾次錯誤竟敢與你鬧情緒? 幾度你想把我開除，後來在我保證不再犯的前提下， 你勉強再給我觀察期。

這些時日以來，幾經思索，感謝你給我這次機會。但我確實不適任此職位，想向你申請調回朋友部門。

看你對那部門同仁有說有笑，三不五時還會請他們小聚一番，有點羨慕他們：

 上班時間彈性，不用隨 call隨到，不用接送，  不用買單，不用送禮，不用面對你冷漠一面，
 可看到你陽光似的笑容，聽到你幽默言談。

 而我雖佔了情人的缺，除了責任加重卻沒任何特殊待遇；  沒有甜言蜜語，沒有多一點關心， 沒有禮物，沒有.....
決定辭去這職務，至於你是否願讓我調部門，一切尊重你的裁決.....

一個盡心盡力的員工敬上

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{女方的回覆信}

Dear :

關於您轉調部門的提議，經過董事家長會開會討論，以下決議事項向您說明:因您當初面試時的職務為情人，標準與要求一開始就跟朋友不同， 雖然試用期間你的表現不好差點被開除，但念在你苦苦哀求且信誓旦旦的說明你可以改進與昇任，才予以留任。

情人屬於正職工作，與兼職的朋友部門不同，當然責任與工作相對也比較多，但是薪資及福利保證優於朋友部門， 情人有按摩、親親、抱抱、陪睡、陪同參予家庭聚會與煮宵夜的紅利與福利，還有很好的升遷管道，可以升為老公、爸爸、阿公...等，這些絕對都是朋友部門所沒有的。

最後，因目前朋友部門沒有職缺，情人又是重要職務，因此在未尋獲新人或職務代理人並完成交接前，先將您轉調到備胎部門，這個部門的人員不需要每天面對老闆，應該可以暫時讓您的責任跟壓力不那麼大。等情人職務有人可以交接時，可再將您轉調到地下情人部門，當然若屆時朋友部門有缺也可轉調到朋友部門，或是您要離職也可以，當然自動離職是沒有遣散費的。

謝謝您一年多來的努力...

董事會成員代表 敬上
