Laguna Beach, CA

We stopped by Laguna Beach after shopping for a birthday gift for a friend at Irvine Spectrum. It was around the dawn so we decided to stay and watch the sunset.

We had a great time!

Firework at Disneyland

These shots were taken on the balcony at my best friend's house which locates not very far away from Disneyland Resort. He told me he got bored watching firework for15 minutes a day everyday after he moved into his apartment.

Jacaranda

Jacaranda is blooming around April in my neighborhood. Its unique purple color makes it the Western Sakura; however, I've never heard about the Jacaranda's spirit before. :-)

Jacaranda

spring is my favorite season
i slipped outdoors and
stood under our stately
jacaranda tree in bloom
such graceful leaves and
flowers stunning and pretty
as finely written poetry

The Biological Solar Panel

This was taken in my back yard. I titled it "biological solar panel" because of its amazing ability to transfer energy from the sun (prana) to vital energy to grow itself. I wish I could have that ability so that I don't have to spend time to eat 3 meals a day. ;-)

Signal Hill

I took these at Signal Hill, Long Beach, CA in one cold night. It was like seeing an ocean of lights while standing on top of an island. From Orange County, take 405 North, exit at Cherry towards Signal Hill and just follow the signs.

Ivy and Corona Del Mar

I'm glad that I was there that afternoon with you. The midst of the waves splashing on the rocky wall below us, the salty ocean breeze fondling on our faces and your sparkling tears spiced up your story. I'm glad you felt better after all.

Yes, Purple Sky

This is how the afternoon sky in California looks after the rain. I climbed up the roof with the tripod and took these shots. This is the respond art piece for "No Purple Sky" dance piece which was choreographed and performed by dance artist Yu Kondo in CSU Long Beach Faculties and Students Dance Concert Spring 2009.
