Chinese style hot dogs for breakfast.The "hot dog" was invented only in the last twenty years, and is a model of Chinese and Western combination:).I don't know if you've ever heard of steamed bread. The steamed bread is outside and the sausage is inside.It actually tastes ok.Then I drank some soy milk.Soybean milk is also a popular breakfast in China.:)5ee339421b8cf__20200612160015.thumb.jpg.36bf691aa80e9a87251d64987907a8be.jpg

 

  Arriving at a plant fossil once found.It was a cloudy day and I was using telephoto, so it was a bit dark.The top of the hill is a temple, but I don't know if it's Buddhist or Taoist.

The first discovery, perhaps, was of lepidodendron.

The second one, it's a cute little guy.

Found a beautiful leaf.

Slowly uncover it.But because of the invasion of iron oxide, the rock was brittle.

Carefully dug for a long time, the result is still broken:(

  The final image is of an American Ivy in the wild.I like its leaves. They are very beautiful.But I don't know why the leaves closed a little bit, maybe I came too early.:heartylaugh:

Interesting stuff! Have you tried gluing the broken pieces together? I don't consider a broken fossil a loss, as long as you have all the pieces.

That's a good idea. I'll give it a try.:thumbsu:

So they're native to Virginia?It's a beautiful plant. I brought one from here and planted it in my pot.
