I said before that The Man and I had finally learned how to tell the difference between cherry and plum blossoms. It turns out I was wrong. Neither of us can decide what this one is. It is either an early cherry or a late plum.
But who cares? The blossoms are just coming out, and they're lovely. (Click to enlarge.)

Links for language teachers
I have noticed that I get a lot of hits from people searching "present simple" and "ESL," and assume that this is language teachers looking for ideas or lesson plans. The following links are good places to start.
ESL Lounge Here you will find lesson plans organised by level. A fantastically useful site for busy teachers, and easy to navigate.
British Council Here lesson plans are organized by topic. There are more teaching activities in the 'downloads' section.
The Internet TESL Journal
They have not updated this page for a while, but there is still a lot you might find useful.
Humanising Language Teaching
This is an online journal, good for ideas, inspiration, and especially good towards the end of semester when you're feeling not quite human.
Dave's ESL Cafe
Almost too much to wade through, but a very useful resource. Lots of links to other sources.
Karin's ESL PartyLand
This is a page specifically dealing with teaching simple present and present progressive. I have not tried any of these, but there are a lot of ideas here, and they look good. At the very least you will be inspired.
Good luck!

In my capacity as the city boy who has served national service, I recognise this as a Frangipani.
(... obviously the wrong answer, but that was what it looked like to me. The petals of a Frangipani look stronger and smoother, with a slight yellow tinge radiating out from the centre of the flower. That is, if what I have seen in the jungles of Singapore are what you call Frangipani.)
Gorgeous indeed; a fine photo. I don't think we have anything quite like this in our near-tropical latitude. Private gardens, maybe; definitely not a common sight here.
Nice picture.
now, about my page, the image is behind the text and its black so it just blends in with the text. I want to lighten the image text so that its grey but I dont have anything xcept paint installed on my laptop right now. and sadly, the problem is still there. I can only see one post. the next post appears with the comment after i click the comment button.
