Hangzhou Rock Garden

While I finished up the last of my classes today, Sue took the boys to the Hangzhou Rock Garden with our friend Laura.
 

Jack loves taking close-ups, as he took of this flower...
 

Sue enjoyed this small field of purple flowers.  I'm sure some of you botanists out there can tell me what they are, but I have no idea!
 

Some scenic views at the edge of West Lake...


Jack caught this caterpillar on the edge of a leaf. 


... and another shot without the flash.  A dramatic difference!


Wandering the rock garden paths...



And here are the boys afterwards with our advanced Audio-Visual system.  My laptop and a couple of pairs of headphones. 

And finally, one more leach picture that Jack took at Tian Mu Shan. So Cute!

We are packing up our apartment now and trying to fit everything into our bags - what a mess!  It's amazing that in a few days this giant pile of stuff will fit into just a few bags!
