Huang Gongwang: Dwelling in the Fu-ch'un Mountains Dwelling in the Fu-ch'un Mountains, detail of a hand scroll by Huang Gongwang, 1347–50, Yuan dynasty; in the National Palace Museum, Taipei, Taiwan.
Huang Gongwang (born 1269, Changshu, Jiangsu province, China—died 1354) was the oldest of the group of Chinese painters later known as the Four Masters of the Yuan dynasty (1206–1368). He was often cited meritoriously by later painters and critics for his rectitude (even though he briefly served in a junior capacity in the Mongol administration) and for his intense association with nature.
Huang spent most of his later years in retirement in the Fuchun Mountains, which he recorded in a long hand scroll produced over a three-year period (1347–50). He is known also for his accomplishments in literary arts and thus is listed among the paragons of the “literati painting” (wenrenhua) ideal. His style of and attitude toward landscape painting stand at a pivotal midpoint between such ancient masters as Dong Yuan and Juran in the Five Dynasties period and Shen Zhou, Dong Qichang, the Four Wangs, and others of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

The chupacabra or chupacabras (Spanish pronunciation: [tʃupaˈkaβɾas], literally 'goat-sucker', from Spanish: chupa, 'sucks', and cabras, 'goats') is a legendary creature, or cryptid, in the folklore of parts of the Americas. The name comes from the animal's purported vampirism—the chupacabra is said to attack and drink the blood of livestock, including goats.
Unlike Cape Town (with its Mediterranean climate), the climate of Kruger National Park is subtropical, with distinct wet and dry seasons. By day, it is warm to hot year-round. Although it is a year-round destination for safaris, the seasons greatly impact wildlife viewing. The rainy season—October through April—equates to the hot and humid summer months (winter in the northern hemisphere). The dry season (May through September) is winter, with warm and mild days, and chilly nights and early mornings.
Although the dry season extends from May through October, the driest period is in the cool mid-winter months. Temperatures are at their most pleasant, with warm days, low humidity, and virtually no rainfall. Mid-day temperatures average a very pleasant 79°F (26°C) in mid-winter, with deep-blue cloudless skies. However, nighttime temperatures fall dramatically. Early morning temperatures just before sunrise average about 50°F (10°C), and are often much colder.
By November the mercury soars, the humidity rises exponentially as the rainy season sets in, and mosquitoes are more prevalent. The summer months can be uncomfortably hot: daytime high temperatures average 90°F (32°C) and can peak well above 100 °F (38 °C), while your clothes will stick to your body in the muggy air. Late afternoons and evenings often bring dramatic thunderstorms—especially in December-February, the hottest and wettest months. However, it rarely rains all day and mornings are usually clear. This is a season to laze away the mid-day hours in the relative comfort of your lodge or camp (in summer, we recommend staying at an air-conditioned lodge, as camping requires a high degree of tolerance for heat and rain).
As you may have deduced from the above information, choosing the right time to visit Kruger National Park depends on your tolerance for heat and humidity, whether you prioritize seeing birds or other game, how "crowd-tolerant" you are, and your budgetary concerns.
House wrens are small, warm brown birds that are often spotted in yards, thickets near woods, gardens, yards, and parks. These merry songbirds like brush piles for cover, protection, and as a source for insects.
In late April through early May, house wrens return to their breeding range and start their first brood. The male house wren arrives first and marks its territory by building crude dummy nests. Wrens nest in natural cavities and human-made nest boxes, as well as any crevice they can find, such as old boots, abandoned hornet nests, or farm machinery. The female completes the nest construction at one of the dummy nest sites. She will lay one egg per day until she has a clutch size of 5-8 eggs. Incubation is by the female only and lasts for 12–13 days, depending on the temperature. The hatchlings fledge at about 17 days, and parental care continues for another 13 days.
Small, energetic birds with big voices, they are officially the UK’s most numerous bird species, occurring almost everywhere, from gardens to farms and the countryside.
Since winter comes early to Kanazawa, the yukitsuri is put up
in November. It starts with the famous Karasaki Pine in
Kenrokuen Garden.
The trees that are suppported are pines, azaleas, and fruit
trees. First a pole is propped up near the trunk of a tree and
rope is hung from it and attached to the ground, forming a
teepee-like shape. This process is especially important for
evergreen trees because they are so delicate.
There are three types of yukitsuri.
Ringo-tsuri: five ropes attached to one pole are
placed close to the trunk of a tree, and
a special decorative rope is attached to
the top of the pole.
Miki-tsuri: used to support young trees such
as pine and cherry. The rope is attached
directly to the top of a tree and hangs
directly into the lower branches of the
tree giving it proper support.
Shibori: used on shrubs such as bush clovers
and azaleas. Rope is used to gather all
the branches into a bottle-like shape.
This method is used to protect the plants
from snow piling up on the ground around
them.
The most popular method is Ringo-tsuri, and all the famous and
older trees in Kenrokuen Garden are supported in this manner.
Kenrokuen located in Kanazawa is considered one of the Three Great Gardens of Japan, and is one of the most popular gardens to visit year-round. During the winter, the snow transforms the garden into an even more wondrous place.
