Going under the earthquake tunnel one night, capturing some of the honking in action. Don’t know what I’m talking about? Read about it here.

That bird may not look so far, but then I zoom out and you can see just how crazy cacti can grow.

Today marks the first day of the first full week of class at UCLA after Panda graduated. So, here’s a look back on a couple of months ago, when he was conferred his Bachelor’s degree.

The candidates file in to the Los Angeles Tennis Center (LATC) to begin the ceremony.

It’s been a long 3 1/2 days, so here’s a quick video post. When I went up to Ngong Ping Village in Hong Kong, I was walking over to the temple when I came across this bull grazing. He was SO close – the video doesn’t do it justice. I was intimidated and very watchful of him, in case he decided to run one of us over. But hey, it seems he’s really into his food.

A pair of butterflies flirting as they do in a mating ritual.

This one completely ignored me even when I touched it!

And this one had such a cool bright blue color.

I took a ride on a ferry all around the Hong Kong harbor. Here we are stopping at Central Pier to pick up a few people. First they churn the water really hard to stop the forward momentum, then a guy pulls us in.
