Black and White Weekend #21 and Photo Hunt: Cherished

One of my most cherished memories is a sighting of Eiffel Tower which we accomplished when we had a 6-hour layover in Paris on the way to Barcelona.

Photo Hunt: Shelter

In the heat and humidity of New Delhi, it's no wonder people seek shelter under the many trees around this crowded yet enchanting city.

I have been away from playing PHOTO HUNT for a while. I'm starting this new year by joining this fun photo game.

Photo Hunt #267: Mirror/Yellow

The rainwater mirrored the yellow peace sign sculpture outside of Oakland Museum of California. This image is 4 years old and I don't know if this sculpture still stands.

Photo Hunt #266: Abstract/Water

This shot of the waters of Kings River could pass for an abstract work of art.

Photo Hunt #265: Sport/Streets

In our streets, we see bicyclists who ride both for recreation and for sport.

Photo Hunt #264: Flowers/Jiffy

Spring flowers, like most things, must be appreciated before they're gone in a jiffy and you have to wait another year before they return.

Photo Hunt #263: Traces/Ink

I am very impressed with people who could draw/paint. My nephew doodled in a napkin with ink one day while we were at a restaurant waiting for our food. He did not trace this from a design. I thought he has some talent to cultivate.

Yosemite's famous HALF DOME aka one ginormous stone :)

Photo Hunt #260: Trees/Bird

For those who play both Photo Hunt sites, you know that most of the time the combination of themes are poles apart and it would take a Disney-esque imagination to combine them together in one photo. On rare occasions, however, just like this week both themes fit like hand and glove. We get lucky sometimes, don't we fellow players.





I only wanted to post one photo, but I couldn't resist posting another one, after all it's an easy theme this week.

Photo Hunt #259: Technical/Focus

For someone like me whose culinary adventures always find a disastrous end, I realized that those who can make a simple dish like deviled egg out of this world delicious are those who have mastered the technical skills in the kitchen and put local fresh and quality ingredients the focus of their dish.

Rescue animals find their forever home accommodations to be deluxe, especially when they find loving, caring humans.

In so many ways, the Golden Gate Bridge is the symbol of the great state of California.
