Got My Lion Luck!
A L O H A !
Lion Dancing at Chinese New Year Time
is one of my favorite things in the world.
So we were seated by the window of
Yet Wah Restaurant in San Rafael
eagerly anticipating dancing
lions and tons of great noise.
[The one time of year I like noise]
I saw a fit teenage girl lion dancing in
Honolulu in recent years. And we
remarked on it. It's always been
a boy thing. But look! Girls
really eager to do their moves.
You GO Girls!
I was impressed by their preparation
"There's only one thing
I never did and
wish I had done:
climbed over a fence. "
Queen Mary
I bet these girls
climb anything
they want to!
Lion Heads UP!
Headed inside!
This is no One-Lion town!
They like to go up high
and look around
Distracted by Take-Out
Back to the work at hand:
eating those tasty and
lucrative Red Envelopes!
"Lions are so BIG!
My camera is
so small."
She thinks to herself
The Lion's Heartbeat.
Rhythm of the dance.
These lions
did NOT stop moving!
Who has who?
Dad approves.
Brother is
less certain.
I like how both patrons
have their fingers
in their ears.
[We were wearing
our earplugs, as
do the participants.
NOT my first lion dance!]

Foot At A Time We Climb

"The Earth has grown
a nervous system,
and it's us."

"One never notices
what has been done.
one can only see
what remains to
be done."
Marie Curie
“You never know what's
around the corner. It
could be everything.
Or it could be nothing.
You keep putting one foot
in front of the other, and
then one day you look back
and you've climbed a mountain.”
Tom Hiddleston

Many of us bloggers
are thinking of our friend
Tina "E. G. Camera Girl"
who perished with her
husband in a very recent
traffic accident.
Tina was a true friend
who gave me gifts
every day at her blog.
Link.
She was generous in
visiting this place too.
And she taught me a lot
about photography
and grace.
What a wonderful
and true community
we have here,
that we feel such
a personal and
powerful loss as this.
Her final post
is haunting now.
Frost on windowpane.
Intricate, lovely,
temporary. But
never forgotten
