Almost to 2008 and I thought that maybe this happy spring shot would bring you all some joy. Happy New Year, and many more.

That's what Christmas is supposed to be about, Peace on Earth.

btw - the photo is a San Diego Christmas moment ;-) Enjoy!

And look what was awaiting me, gotta always remember to carry your camera.

Came across this little scene the other day after my photography class in Balboa Park, and thought you might like it. Enjoy!

A little patience and finally he spread his wings for me. I think he knew all along that's what I was waiting for. Nice bird, that Pelican.

Just thought the colors would look nice here. From the Asian Unbrella exhibit at the Mingei International Museum in Balboa Park.

Spent some time making a feathered friend who rewarded me with this sunset silhouette.

What century are we in now? You'd think that this sort of thing would've been stopped a couple of hundred years ago.

These backdoors in the Park always fascinate me, especially in the late afternoon.

If you read Memoirs of a Geisha, then this story will find a spot in your heart. Sad, but some of the things that were so interesting to us yesterday, are not reverent today.

Taken from just before the bridge, across the street on my way west. Light was magical.

Driving force of Chinese smog

This is clearly just the start of this sort of statement. I heard a US official yesterday saying that it wasn't right to stop emerging countries from doing all the things that the so-called 1st world countries did in the past. There's a huge hole in this logic and I hope people wake up to it before it's too late. When we were developing (and polluting), there were so few car in America, Japan & Europe compared to what is coming on-line (on the roads) with China and India starting their motors. Also, we weren't nearly as aware of the dire consequences of our actions. Of course, all of us wish we would have developed a gas alternative sooner, but we ALL have to start now. This planet will not withstand the onslaught of a doubling or tripling of the exhaust fumes that we currently emit.

STOP THIS CRAZY CYCLE!
