The first photo is stunning. I'm not sure if it's called the stamen, but it looks shy and seems to be hiding behind the petals. Happy Lunar New Year to you!

Love its pastel color. I remember going to the Huntington this time of the year when the magnolias are in bloom.

One word: GORGEOUS

I visited Hong Kong for Chinese New Year in 2007. I remember those lanterns vividly :)

Camera Critters - Feeding My Squirrel Buddy

-
Image
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.
