175 - Tropical sunset

Dim Sum's eyes adjust to the dimming light.


This kinda reminds me of my childhood summers, actually. The tropical plants. The sunset. The water is too calm here though. We spent our summers by the sea, so the water is more agitated. Much more.

174 - Shelter from the rain

Dim Sum listens to the pitter-patter of the raindrops on the leaves. If only the lightning and thunder would stop already.


This rain reminds me of  my childhood. And it's not made of particles; it's actually made of prims. It's called "Best Rain" (appropriately, I think) by Xavier Novelli (Dwelling Quay).

The broad-leafed plant called "Allocasia Wentii" was created by Magdaleine Demonista. Again, this might be miscategorized because Google shows narrower leaves for "allocasia wentii." Here's what it looks like in daylight:

Any botanists out there?

173 - Anahaw

Dim Sum seeks shelter under the broad leaves as isolated raindrops start to fall.


Hmm, I seem to be doing a theme of tropical plants. :)

I love the diversity of plants in this sim. This one is called "sabal multiforensis" (created by Magdaleine Demonista), but Google doesn't return anything for that. In the Philippines, we call this plant "anahaw" (pronounced like "Anna, how?" except with the accent in "na"), which is from the genus saribus rotundifolius.
