Acacia confusa (台灣相思)

It is my first time to see the flowers and flower buds near the Services Reservoir at Cloud View Road, North Point.
" The exotic tree species used in Hong Kong are fast growing and survive on very degraded sites. Some species, such as Acacia confusa(台灣相思 ), are fire toreant and can be used to form a fire break."

An insect and Acacia confusa (台灣相思)

I am so happy that I forgot to increase the depthof photo, therefore you can only see part of it clearly. I will visit her again to take another shots.

Can you see her solid waste on the leaf next to her?

she takes a rest after laying eggs, I guess

wandering

shy?

Flying Frenchman ( 傲翔的法國人 )

This art is located in between the Hong Kong Cultural Centre and Tsim Sha Tsui Public Pier , near the water front at Tsim Sha Tsui. If you walk out of the Star Ferry Pier(Kowloon side) and turn right, it is approximately 100 m away from you.
