Check out those neon colors!

He tried to camouflage on the rocks, which worked pretty well.

This one just took up home right on the glass wall!

I wrote about seed paper awhile back and decided to try planting some of my own… major fail! 🙁

Soak it overnight in water.

Then add thin layer of soil.

Gosh, it’s been over a month since John Wooden passed away. I wish I had gotten a chance to shake his hand…

During graduation weekend, people came by and left bouquets and leis in memory of John Wooden.

Critter: cute or creepy?

I love wildlife of all kinds, so it thought this field mouse-looking critter was quite cute, but I must admit that tail isn’t a very pretty sight… maybe it’s a deer mouse?

little field mouse running along sidewalk

He walks/runs with this awkward sort of gait, bouncing off the tips of his toes.

timid little mouse looking like a cat toy

This positioning looks very much like the toy mice I would buy my cats...

mouse sniffing the concrete

He was less than a foot from my feet and I was squatting, so I could have reached out to touch him!

Crepe-tastic

Panda’s building had a lot of fire alarms this year, seemingly due to a broken panel board? Well, the last time it was fortunate that I had just gotten a crepe at Crepes Bonaparte, which was parked in Westwood. I happily munched away as I waited for the firefighters to take a look inside. Thank goodness for that!

Took a stroll around the UCI campus one night and look what we found! UCLA only gets squirrels. :-/

painting of fish and flowers on tabletop

Tucked away in a teeny coffee shop in LA is this Asian-inspired piece. What a cool table to chill around.

Well gee, you can’t put a sign up like that without inviting me to exploit it just a little. All in good fun! I’ve taken so many action shots I’ve gotten the timing just right, but Panda still needs to perfect the skill…

Do you see what I see?

They can make a variety of designs by request, or just do something random. Cool, huh?
