Water Lily

Today,

I felt the urge to bring my camera to church.

I did not expect to find this pond,

just like any surprises in life.

The bloom was perfect,

the light was perfect,

life

can be perfect,

sometimes,

isn't it?

Presbyterian Church

Placitas, NM

The Beginning and The End

Sometimes I feel sorrow

with the setting of the sun,

as if I do not want

to lose something that is dear,

even if I know

the same sun will rise again

tomorrow

or

is it really

the same sun?

Kaoshiong Harbor

Taiwan

Yellow

There are many interesting subjects around us,

if we look hard enough.

A Sunday afternoon stuck in the middle of a hot summer day.

This is not a bad catch.

A little town in eastern Taiwan

Valley of Fire

How do those vegetations grow on a land burned by lava?

I guess we all have our own niche.

Witness

If he can talk,

what can he tell us about the past?

How would he react to the present?

Or

does he care?

Dancing of the Lights

Like little commas

punctuating the night dark poem.

Searching for the lost feel,

in life,

as in dream.

Good Morning

Another way to look at the sunrise.

An unexpected catch...

Taipei

Farming

Somewhere in the eastern part

of the island of Taiwan

is a farming community.

Cleanliness

is not of top most importance.

They rely on the sky for their livelihood.

The weight of the crop

can knock off the weight

on their shoulders.

Such is life.

I did not leave

empty handed

that day.

Beauty

The love for beauty is a human nature.

We are willing to spend money and time to achive that.

It is the source of many business ideas...

Chung-Li

Taiwan

Wooden Sphere

An art is an art is an art.

It was quite refreshing to visit places and see pieces of art like this.

Life is an art.

We are all artists.

How should I "art" this day?

Grand Hyatt Taipei

lobby

Three's Company

There is something about this view that caught my attention.

I do not know what.

The three of them just sit perfectly again the big window.

It touches my heart in certain way.

Grand Hyatt Taipei

19th Floor

Wet

I have to admit,

I am not young anymore.

Traveling across the Pacific ocean has become a big challenge.

I know that the trip was worthwhile,

just tasting the hometown food is worth all the hassle.

We were greeted by afternoon thunderstorms.

I reminded myself,

this too shall pass.

a view of Taipei 101,

the tallest building in Taiwan,

from Grand Hyatt Taipei.

Risk

From time to time,

I do take a risk,

like this shot,

steering wheel on my left hand,

camera on my right hand.

I know,

I hear you.

Sometimes it is called,

STUPIDITY.

Big-I

Albuquerque, NM

The Call of the Volcano

I have been wondering,

how does it feel to stand near the volcano

which borders the west of town.

I see it everyday,

but never up close.

Today, I drove up and discover,

another view,

another land,

another world.

A Day at the Beach

I call it "the trigger itch".

Today, I brought my camera for an early morning walk.

What a pleasant surprise!

They are lovely!

Tingley Beach

Albuquerque, New Mexico

Discovery

This is not as precious as a carving on the ancient cave.

Humans are humans.

We have an urge to discover and document.

Whether it is 10,000BC or 2007 AD,

we want to record something to remember...

Tingley Beach

Albuquerque, New Mexico

Mix

Pottery was a fun experience.

It is a ligitimate way to play mud.

I have always been intriqued by that spinning wheel.

I love the touch of a spinning clay.

Wet and soft,

I need to treat it with gentleness,

just the way I want other people to treat me.

The Making of Kaseman Kingdom

They are going to call it "Kaseman Professional Building".

I call it "Kaseman Kingdom".

It will house 50 doctors, including specialties like Family Practice, Internal Medicine, Arthritis, Endocrinology, Pulmonology, Surgery, Gastroenterology and Oncology.

Albuquerque, New Mexico

Catch of the Day

Taking photograph is very much like fishing, you never know what you will catch. I know that I have been busy with my day job. So today I decided to pick up the camera and went fishing...

Festival of Japan

Santa Fe, New Mexico

Rest in Peace

I was very careful.

I was very quiet.

Not even the shutter,

should cause a disturbance.

Let them,

rest in peace.

Buddha and the Snow

I can not explain what I saw. Can you?

Forgotten

There must be a reason why this truck exit. There must be a reason why we met. Was it forgotten? Was it negligence? Someone should know.

Old Town

It was a quick glimpse. The sudden urge to snap a shot arises. Why do we keep visiting the old part of town? I do not know. Today, I am a local tourist with a camera.

Sun Setting

Photography requires a lot of patience in waiting. But you may not get what you are waiting for. Such is life.

The Creator and Her Creation

The fun of growing up. Play and experiment with no fear.

Three Blue Pots

It took some strength from my arms to smash the clay, center it, pull it. It took another few weeks to trim it, punch the hole. It took another few weeks to dip it for the color, and fire! It took another few weeks for me to see it. Yes, the good things in life are worth waiting for. Patience.

Rail Runner

Something that I can be proud of about Albuquerque. For the price of $3, I was able to see parts of this city that I would otherwise miss. Yes, in life, take a different route from time to time.

The "Creator" and the "Creation - Freddie"

Rana really wanted to make a snow man today. So I contributed my hat and scraf.

Again

We were never fond of snow, but it kept coming. So, have fun!

Birdy Igloo 3

Ah, what a relief! All those weight off my head...

Birdy Igloo 2

It is falling down... Impermanence.
