Eagle Mountain
Friday night, we took a spontaneous drive to one of our favorite roads: Eagle Mountain. We named it many years ago because there were so many eagles soaring over the mountain. It’s a drive on the mountain where you can have a bird’s eye view of the city and the best spot to see the…

Show Goes On
It’s been cloudy all day, until dusk, the sun finally break through, the dark band of clouds became curtain to reflect the dramatic colors of after glow. So dramatic, like something big is about to happen at the end of sky. I feel ecstatic for no reason, or maybe because the things I love doing…

Summer Sky & Valley
Trees are holding up the Summer sky, we are sheltered in like a low roof room; the valley is noisy at night, crickets are singing, the rhythm of the sound as if cooling off the air.

A Window Where Summer Meets Fall

Bobcat
On our way into the mountain, saw this bobcat. It was a hot day, I could see him panting with mouth open, but his eyes were still sharp, can cut the air.

The Moon with Trees in it
Went to the window, saw half moon climbing on the edge of mountain, glowing. Grabbed the phone, took the shot: surprised to see the trees on top of the mountain were caught in the moon too, like those Halloween moons. In ancient China, there’s a parable, an osmanthus tree growing in the moon, very tall,…
