Ah, dear friends and visitors. A new year and lots of talk about new hope, new promises. I have nothing against it, except I am still trying to keep going with what I started last year, mainly my project commitments at work. Believe it or not, the last quarter of the year and summer are the busiest periods for our already busy and full work schedule. So, I am barely here. However, I just wanted to give you a sneak peek of what I am trying to do to relax when I find the time.
This is not an exaggeration when I say that I am the most surprised and awed with what I am discovering about the oaks of Asia. These are the acorns of the genus Cyclobalanopsis, of the family Fagacaea, the same family that the genus Quercus (American and European oaks) belong. Oh my. They are exquisite, exotic and downright fascinating! Here is a photograph of Cyclobalanopsis fleuryi.
I hope to return soon with these "cessified" nuts.
