Morning Tai Chi

-


Eastern sun
slowly rises
warming
Victoria Harbour

erhu strings
windswept
saturate
dawn rituals

and we move
slowly
in unison
as one

unspoken vibrations
musical meditations

enlightened affirmations!

I'm sure I've seen this photo before somewhere. Is it yours? Great connection to the poem anyway, also adds something. I particularly love the last three lines.

This is a great photo, and such a terrific poem, Jo. I'm glad you bring this post back!

Icy, I am going to leave that header up there for a long while just for you :) That morning I spent in Hong Kong watching their tai chi completely inspired me. I tried to do it myself but my balance is not good :D

Camera Critters - Feeding My Squirrel Buddy

-

Though we are not suppose to feed the squirrels at the gardens, it is always something I enjoy. After all, they do need "good eats" every once in a while. This particular day I brought honey roasted nuts. There were not as many squirrels around as usual, maybe because of the hot weather. So, when I found this little guy in one of the demonstration gardens I decided to let him have the entire bag. He was a bit afraid of me at first but when I piled the nuts in front of him we became instant friends. He even let me take a short video clip of him which you can see below. He was a cutie.
