Mosaic


The world of color. The world of magic at my finger tips.

Surprise


Honestly, I did not see the bird when I took this picture. What a pleasant surprise it is to see that I actually captured a glimpse of that bird. For me, surprises are always welcomed, especially the good ones.

The Fairy Tale

We were lead to believe that once we found our Prince Charming or Princess Gorgeous, people will say, "... and they lived happily ever after." That may be true, but not without a lot of hard work, both physical and emotional. Obviously, those chidren book writers did not get a chance to get married.

Life


Life is sometimes black, sometimes white, and sometimes gray. It depends on who you are, where you are, what you are doing, why you are doing, and how you are doing.

Bare


I enjoy watching the trees during winter time. They drop their makeup and show us what they are made of.

Fort Imagination


We all have the key to a fort in our mind. A place for us to roam around, a place to let our imagination fly, a place to get our emotional garbage out.

The Waiting Shed


A rest stop after a long walk. A place to sit and wait. I do not like to wait. But today I will. Waiting for a peom to come, waiting for the poem to tell me, what am I angry about?

Bowl

We do not need to be a monk to carry a bowl. We already do that everyday. Not for food, but for love. attention, recognition, fellowship, acceptance...

Deer Scare


The deer distractor tells me a story that I haven't seen. Tak, tak, tak. There is no deer to scare, maybe just some nightmares lately.

Yard


My yard, my rest. A bamboo fence, a pool of water, a growing vine. Simple, enough.

Mindful


As I sit and let the world be still, I can hear myself. I know where I am, I know where I want to go, I know what is life.

Wild Wild West


This is as close as we can get to the Old West, the days of cowboys and Indians. Thank God we did not have to ride on horses to visit this part of the land.


Williams, Arizona

Frosty


It was a short visit to Grand Canyon. The weather was so cold that we have to leave early. This is what we found, Frosty!

The Other Boy


He is the other boy, the other kid. Owning a dog is like having another child. No matter how the kids screams for him, it is not going to happen. When the plate is full, the plate is full.



"Buddy" in Colorado

Day Dream


A good place to day dream. I still remember Chris' comment. "Dr. Conlon, you are half an hour behind, stop day dreaming!" What a place, what a memory!

No Man is an Island


The most cruel punishment for a human being is probably solitary confinement. That's what they do in jail. Does it work? Somewhere in California, Stanley Williams is waiting for his clemency hearing.

The Old Man and the Sea


There are times that we might feel by ourselves in a wide open sea. Just the wind, the wave and the salty air. It is probably good for the soul. Too much noise and activities will just drown the little voice that needs some attention.

Somewhere in Time


Cannot resist to play. To play with the color. To play with creation. Somewhere in time, I played and enjoyed.

New Citizen


It all started at the US Embassy on Dewey Blvd by Manila Bay. It was followed by multiple rejections and status changes. But finally, I am here. Red, White and Blue.
