A video from our cruise along the river Seine in Paris.

The Eiffel Tower in Paris

Beautiful weather in Paris as we wrap up our trip. Heading back to Hong Kong today.

There are many swans in Iceland. We saw them often in lakes as we drove around. This group is near the City Hall in Reykjavik.

Sound on, so you can hear them honking.

Springtime in Iceland.

Nemophila Harmony is a flower event in Hitachi Seaside Park in Japan where about 5 million baby blue-eyes flowers (nemophilas) bloom.

Me standing by the divide between the Europe and America continental plates. It was snowing sideways

Snowy panorama

Volcanic crater. We walked around the rim.

Looking out from inside an ice cave.

Freezing my ass off in Iceland but the scenery is spectacular. We also saw a rare Arctic fox on the drive back from the ice cave. He was too fast to get a picture.

#Tulips 🌷 in #Amsterdam

I took almost 100 pictures in an hour as we toured the gardens inside and out. Absolutely stunning variety of colors and forms.

This is one of several videos I took.

Welcome to Iceland. Sorry I haven’t posted pictures of Amsterdam yet. I have hundreds of them and need to go through them.

Stay tuned

Arrived safely in Amsterdam

Made it to Istanbul. As you can see by the flight map, we circled north around Iran. All is well. Our flight to Amsterdam leaves in about an hour.

Another new experience. Today I am flying from Hong Kong to Amsterdam and we connect through Istanbul Turkey.

If you draw straight line from HK to Istanbul it would go right through Iran.

I hope we don’t fly in a straight line to get there. I will let you know when I’m safe in Amsterdam.

A garden grown from every heart,
These roses bloom and never part.
Each petal shows the love I feel,
A bond for you that’s true and real.

Thank you to all my dear followers!

Passed the first day of spring,
It’s only nine days
On the hills and fields.

RIP Chuck Norris. Chuck Norris was the real deal. He held black belts in karate, taekwondo, Tang Soo Do, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and judo. After serving in the United States Air Force, he won numerous martial arts championships and later founded his own discipline, Chun Kuk Do.

This is a 1000-gram iron bar. In its raw form, it’s worth around $100. If it’s turned into horseshoes, its value rises to about $250. If it’s made into sewing needles, its value jumps to roughly $70,000. If it’s crafted into watch springs and gears, it can be worth around $6 million. And if it’s transformed into precision laser components, like those used in lithography, its value can reach $15 million.

Saw this post on Facebook and just had to share.

Quality education gives us the tools to shape our future.

Sometimes you just need to stop and take a picture. Such a beautiful blue sky in San Francisco today.

Just passing through on our way back to Hong Kong.

It’s been a good visit. We go back to Hong Kong this weekend.

Some pictures from Epcot. The Flower and Garden Festival is on and Disney puts on a spectacular display.

Can you tell I love flowers? Not having a space to garden is one of the only things I don’t like about living in Hong Kong.

Disney Animal Kingdom. I took a quick video of the tree of life. I lived next to one of the sculptures who created it years ago.

Wow! Woke and it was already light! The last day of the month and the year marches on!
Exciting times ahoy, early(ish) birds! Have a wonderful day in this gorgeous time of the year!

The Yellow Poui trees are in full bloom in Orlando. So vibrant! I hope this picture brightens your day.
