Walking Home

This is an old one but fits the theme! My little sister and my dog Cookie walking home.

Itty-bitty white blooms

I have no idea what this is. I'm sure it's considered a weed since it's growing quite unplanted and very abundantly! But, that's ok, I call it 'pretty' and I like it in my flowerbox.

Tiny Pumpkin

Last year a pumpkin vine sprouted in my small flower bed.
I presume birds dropped the seeds. In 2010 I had one pumpkin make it through to fruition. I'm hoping with the number of blossoms I have right now that I will have a bigger crop this year.

Tiny

When students come to English village (in South Korea to learn English) they first must go through immigration, or our version of immigration. Once, when a kindergarten group came through, they were so tiny, they couldn't even see over the counter.

The praying mantises we find here, are actually quite large in comparison to the praying mantises I've seen in the past. But quite tiny in comparison to the rest of the world.

Random shapes in Asia

A beautiful manhole, found in a National Park near where I live.

Statue in Busan, South Korea

Strange seafood in a street market in Busan. I really don't know what they are, and I don't think I'll ever be adventurous enough to try one.

Shell decoration in our hotel in the Philippines.

A pentagon shaped starfish! Amazing.

I'm a Texas native, but live in South Korea with my husband. We teach lil Koreans English, at least through the end of 2011. I love all things artsy, but unfortunately don't have the gift, or at least haven't found my niche. I love photography, but in all honesty I'm not brilliant at it; I lack the patience. However, despite these flaws, I plan to continue taking pictures as long as the world continues to dazzles me with its brilliance. I love traveling, reading, writing, watching movies, drinking wine with friends and everything to do with nature. I think this blog is a brilliant idea, and I'm happy to be apart of this community. I've been blogging since 2005, come visit me sometime at The Yellow Brick Road.

Circle

Found at the Shelburne Museum, this wheel was used to flatten down the snow for sleighs - of a time once upon, when the horses would pull sleighs in the winter and wagons in the seasons without snow. I had never thought about the need for such a wheel, but it surely makes sense to me. Horses would pull it down the roadways.
