Good Monday morning! Welcome to #weekendcoffeeshare! Continue reading “#WeekendCoffeeShare: Alone At Last!” →
It’s been a while since I last took macro photos and yesterday, I finally got to take some when I visited some ponds in the next town over. The ponds were beautiful but frozen. I’ll have to go back when it thaws. I will post some of the landscapes I took in another post.
This interesting perspective photo definitely made it into my top 5 favorite photos taken during my recent road trip. It was through this photo I finally learned what my circular polarizing lens does. Since then, I’ve been using it all the time, along with my camera hood which I would discover its usage during my trip to Bear Lake.
This photo was taken at the Petroglyphs, by the way, a wall full of carvings made by the Fremont people. Today, we call them vandalism but back then, there’s no law against vandalism.

Here are some photos I took during my road trip to Capitol Reef this past weekend. Enjoy.
I struggled with this topic. The word “scene” can be a number of things. After racking my brain and searching through my archive to see if anything pops out, I decided on this photo, which is a scene to describe the end of another day.
Here’s another one – another work day, another day on vacation, another day out shopping, another school day.
Here is my final scene – typical night lights in my hometown in China.
I love the forest. Continue reading “Photo of the Day!” →
Ever since I got my new tripod, I have been spending every second of no-mom-free time I can snag testing it out because I must get into a certain zen-like mood when I take pictures. Continue reading “Photo of the Day!” →

With my mom’s friend in town, I got to go to two new places last weekend – Unita National Forest and Strawberry Bay. Continue reading “Photo of the Day!” →
Even though I’ll be busier than usual, the best part of my mom’s friends coming is always getting to go to new places and see new things I don’t usually get to see. Continue reading “Photo of the Day!” →
After three weeks, I finally went on a hike. This time the trail took me to East Fork, part of the Wheeler Canyon system. Continue reading “Cee’s Which Way Photo Challenge – East Fork” →

This is my first time participating in this challenge. I’ve been eyeing to participate but I always ended up procrastinating. Anyway, this week’s topic is hills and there are plenty of them in this picture.
This was from my hike up Indian Trail last spring. How I wish the weather is like this at the moment.
I wrote and published this story in February 2013 and since winter has suddenly returned, I think this will be an appropriate post for this edition of Blog Rewind.
It is finally February, the weather in January this year had been so wild. As I was watching the weather report last night on the news, I couldn’t help thinking that I actually experienced that. I mean last year was so warm and dry that we experienced drought in the summer. Last month alone, there were 20 something days of snow, 30 days of haze and fog, and 1 day of freezing rain. Not to mention the subzero temperatures that are rarely faced in Salt Lake City. Worst of all, I had to take 2 weather days off school, which I’d never had to do.
Still, as I saw the snow pack total on the news last night, I just couldn’t believe when the weatherman announced that the snowpack total is only 84% for the month of January. I was like, 84%, the snow piles are as tall as a person outside my home. Someone in my neighborhood even had enough snow to make a large cute snow dog.
This picture was taken early January, trust me, there is a whole lot more now. Even this week alone, we received about half of foot of snow. Well, it’s been snowing nonstop from Sunday to Wednesday, what do you expect. Yesterday was started to get better and hopefully it will continue this way. I am so tired from shoveling all this snow that I am ready for it to end and hope that there won’t be another freezing rain storm soon.
This winter had been a long one and I am looking forward for it to end. By the way, did anyone catch the news about Ground Hog Day on Saturday? How soon will Spring Be here?
