Potter Wasp Baby Nest 蜾蠃育嬰巢

On May 31, a wasp was circling and disappearing into my plants for a long time. While I was observing and taking photos, a second wasp suddenly appeared and almost got into my left ear. On June 3, on the plant branch where that wasp lingered for the most time 3 days ago, I found its nest, still moist. Took another photo on June 21 when the sunlight was perfectly positioned for a photo shoot. First, in the past, rarely seen them in pairs. Second, this nest is by far the best looking compared with those on the internet.
5月31日,一個獨行類胡蜂,現在知道是蜾蠃屬,在陽臺圍着佛手香徘徊了好長時間。當我在專注拍照時,另一隻突然出現我的左耳旁。6月3號,在其3天前逗留時間最長的植幹處,發現其築的巢。6月21日,當陽光最佳時,拍照於此。首先,以前極少看見兩隻,多是獨行。另外,此巢極其精美,比網上類似的都好看。

早期周大福足金翠玉如意雙喜鴛鴦算盤吊墜 Vintage CTF Pure Gold & Jade Pendent for Weddings

1970到1980年代,不會晚於1990年代,當時翡翠和和闐玉的價格遠高於黃金價格,且手工痕跡明顯,不是現代電子機刻的。黃金吊環內刻有CTF和9999,外刻圖案。盤體為和闐玉或者白翡翠,盤面鑲純金如意、雙喜字和鴛鴦紋。盤珠六顆,似翡翠或者瑪瑙,珠軸芯應該也是純金。金的部分估計有3克左右。明顯是婚嫁娘家的訂製陪嫁金銀玉器配件,現在大多為純金打造。
