Very end of autumn day.
I expected autumn colours but there wasn't much autumn here.
Air was cold and warm sunlight was really nice.

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

Wikipedia: The Chinese pond heron (Ardeola bacchus) is an East Asian freshwater bird of the heron family, (Ardeidae). It is one of six species of birds known as "pond herons" (genus Ardeola). It is parapatric (or nearly so) with the Indian pond heron (A. grayii) to the west and the Javan pond heron (A. speciosa) to the south, and these three are presumed to form a superspecies.
One more from our little snow storm. The snow had started to melt, and I noticed the water drops hanging from the china berries.
Voordat we verder gaan met valburg eerst nog even 2 nieuwere plaatjes. Op 17 april trok de 193 729 van LTE met speciale kleuren van de ECS-Eurocargo de china shuttle. Hier komt de trein door station Apeldoorn heen om 15:25 Cdirs
I took this picture during Chinese New Year celebrations in Paris. I like the color mix going on here.
The Chinese windmill (Byasa alcinous) is a medium to large sized butterfly of the family Papilionidae.
This species can be found in temperate east Asia from Bhutan, and eastern China to the southern Ussuri region, Korea and Japan.
The butterfly is present in mixed broadleaved forests.
The Chinese windmill has a wingspan reaching about 9–10 cm.
The basic colour of the wings is black or dark brown.
The hindwings have long tails and a chain of red spots at the edges. The thorax and the abdomen are mainly black on the upperside and the underside, with several black spots, while the other areas are red. Adults are on wing from May to August in two generations.
This picture was taken in the outdoor aviary of the "De Passiflorahoeve" (Passiflorafarm) in Harskamp, the Netherlands.
De Chinese windmill (Byasa alcinous), er is geen Nederlandse naam voor deze vlinder, is een soort uit de familie van de pages (Papilionidae). De vlinder komt voor in gematigd Oost-Azië, van Bhutan en Oost-China tot in Korea en Japan langs bosranden en in open delen van loofbossen.
Het mannetje is zwart. Het heeft gele of rode vlekken op zijn achtervleugels. De onderzijde van het lichaam heeft gele of rode haren. Het vrouwtje is donkerbruin of zwart.
De vleugelspanwijdte is 8 tot 10 cm.
De waardplant van de rups is de klimplant Aristolochia tagala. Dankzij de giftige stoffen die de plant bevat, zijn de vlinders en rupsen ook giftig. De vlinders vliegen tussen mei en begin september in twee generaties.
Deze foto is gemaakt in de buitenvolière van de inmiddels gesloten zorgboerderij De Passiflorahoeve bij Harskamp.

While out and about we dropped into have a look at this Chinese temple.
“Man” literally means civil while “Mo” is martial. The Man Mo Temple is dedicated to the King Emperor Man and Holy King Emperor Kwan. The two gods were human. Man, the Civil God, known as Cheung Ah Tse was born in 287A.D. during the Chin dynasty. He was said to have jurisdiction over the destinies of the lives of government officials. He was granted the title “King -Emperor Man Cheong” by an emperor in Yuan dynasty. Kwan, the Martial God, is known as Kwan Wan Cheung, Kwan Tai or Kwan Yue. He was born in 160A.D. during the period of Three Kingdoms. He was a great warrior and was always associated with righteousness and loyalty. He was deified by an emperor of the Ming dynasty as “Martial God”. Kwan Tai is also well worshipped on his own. There are many Kwan Tai Temples in Hong Kong too.
