Plants and stones interfacing.

Stones reflect sunrays and heat to the surroundings and make plants nearby experiencing some extra heat. If we put stones in a pail of water, the water become a lot cooler overnight. Such a peculiar effect of stones or boulders or rocks.....! Stones are very playful with the sensation of hot and cold.... Whereas we humans react by shivering or perspiring to the cold and heat.....

I am just trying to share here, the behaviour of plants when they come in contact with stones ....

stones and tumeric plants

Two rows of stones, setting out the edges of our corns, cillies and zinnias. We squeezed tumeric plants beside the row of stones. For the moment, they seem to grow. I am just guessing, that these stones provide nice den for slugs, snails and worms....

leaves are beautiful too

When we freeze moments, we are able to look back, scrutinize and appreciate the hidden beauty. Leaves are as beautiful as the flowers....... Just look the shines and the lines.

Lowland tea and paddy.

I was travelling across Negeri Sembilan towards Pahang, and I saw this... Just to share things we can see along the way... Here you are.

Pahang. Normal place for tea plantation in Malaysia
will be in highlands such as Cameron Highland.

Pictures were taken as we made brief stopovers along the way,
a breather for both of us and the engine as well....
Do you do long distance travelling without break or stopover?
