Today's theme is Photos of flowers from my phone. I take photos of flowers in my garden using my phone and there they stay. For me this has been a hectic week and so I've turned to my phone for today's theme. So many lovely photos of flowers on my phone, I'd forgotten how nicely my garden grows.
Nothing is what it seems in China..... The Bat is a shadow,of course. Chinese scientists claim that corona is coming from wild Bats.

We're in Missouri. Appeared directly to our north in early afternoon. Heard it was over Iowa. 60,000 ft high but you could see it with your eyes. It was surprising how quickly it moved to the east and out of our view within 10 minutes.
Local TV station KMIZ featured this photo on their 5 o'clock Breaking News tonight.
First about the watch:
This is a vintage (mid 1970ties) Chinese wrist watch Seagull (海鸥) ST5-D (29J automatic movement). It came with original manual and original bracelet, but shown here on a steel mesh bracelet.
Nice silver pie pan dial.
The ST5-D was the first indigenous Chinese automatic movement, made by the Tianjin Watch Factory (天津手表厂).
That pocket dictionary used as a prop is not too good, but it has the character 表 at the right place for the photo.
Now for your Chinese lesson:
The character 表 biǎo has many meanings, more than given in that dictionary, most usage in a technical context is for anything with a dial. Depending what other characters it is combined with one gets the actual meaning.
Examples:
表带 biǎo dài watchband
手表 shǒubiǎo wristwatch
钟表 zhōngbiǎo clock
压力表 yālì biǎo pressure gauge
高度表 gāodù biǎo altimeter
