Starry Night

     Saturday, I went on a wonderful ecology tour in NCCU. The adventure was guided by an knowledgeable and warm-hearted teacher, Mr. Tsai, a nature-lover living near our school. Eight of us strolled around the river bank. All of a sudden, with a gleam of the flashlight, teacher found a brown tree frog, which is an protected species and was not easily found. How lucky we were! Then, we climbed on a less-trodden stairs with clumps of trees planted along the trail and streams flowing in the ditch. There we were all amazed by the glitter of fireflies and taught how to distinguish their species and sex through the way they glowed. We also heard different kind of frogs' croak. When all of them croaked together, it was just like an interesting symphony in summer. Through the branches, the full moon with adorable light hung on the silent sky. It was such a peaceful moment then.    

     I sincerely recommend this tour for those who want to uncover the mask of the starry night in NCCU. There will be four more this and next weekend so if you are interested in it, just sign up in the website below without hesitation. You will undoubtedly feel surprised!

  1. Dear Vega,
    It’s really a cool experience. Staying in the cities for long time, it’s easy for people to forget the beauty of the nature. I grew up in the countryside in Taichung when I was little. Beside the three-section compound I lived, there were plenty of rice paddies. My sisters and I used to play there, and we could often found many special insects and animals. Now, when I think of those memories, all my heart is filled with miss. I think we must be close to the nature regularly. We can relax, play, and enjoy it to our hearts. Thank you for your share. If I have time, I will take a look at the activity. : )
