Paper sculpture

Creative paper sculpture seen at Tiffany's window on Rodeo Drive. Using watercolor on paper gives a  casual effect.

American Robin

I spied an American Robin this morning when I was walking on the treadmill.
It's short and stout with brick red round belly and tiny orange beak.
The head is black and back is dark grey.
 This robin would no doubt be considered obese with such a full belly.
It sits on top of a tree branch outside the fitness center window and grooms its feather leisurely.

Then it suddenly dives down fast from the branch for some delicious bugs or worms.

In and out

Secret dream

I was going through all the postcards I received over the years. This one is a delight. It's from Debra Prewitt in Colorado.

Yard work

I moved this Aeonium Cyclops from a pot to a sunny spot in the backyard.

This is one of the most low-maintenance plants in my yard.

I planted some of the broken branches in other pots.

While I was working in the yard, I found the jade plant blooming.

First time in 20 years.

No wonder Chinese consider this a sign of good luck.  

Most of the plants in our yard survive on their own.

Some are considered weeds or wild plants.

Others bring surprise harvest for us.

Happy New Year

Year end is the time when I organized a year worth of pictures.

This time I fixed a couple picture online at Picnix

In the middle of this post, Acer laptop crashed.

These are photos from the 2010 holiday concert.
