After shower 雨后


Dujiangyan Irrigation System, Min River, Sichuan, China [都江堰岷江, 四川]

It was a wet day when we went to tour the Dujiangyan Irrigation System.  But the shower cleared the air and everything became fresh and clean.  Even the flowers.

You are leaving already? 要走了?


A certain temple in China

I can't remember exactly which temple but this little stray puppy was very excited when we arrived.  He was jumping and running and rolling around.  When we were leaving, he became so.  Almost carried him home with us.

Huh? 啊?

Dalian Zoo, Liaoning, China [大连, 辽宁]

I was standing in front of the fence when this bird came up to me, tilted its head to the side and stared at me.  As if it was pondering what sort of creature stood before it.

Growing 成长


This was taken during the winter.  Outside was actually covered with snow and the temperature was below zero and yet, the bougainvillea was blooming.

Time to change! 该换装了!


An European style street in Chengdu, China [欧洲风情街成都]

It was going into summer soon.  We were walking along the street in the morning when a truck stopped by and some workers got off the truck and started unloading pots and pots of beautiful flowers.  Another group of workers started to repot the flowers into the planters in the middle of the street.  They do this before every season change.  It's amazing.

Van Gogh's inspiration 梵高的灵感


Beijing street side, China [北京]

Was walking along the street when these caught my eyes.  They reminded me of Van Gogh's Irises.
