Holiday Greetings 2021 - Jean Huang Photography

I’ve watched this tree weathering all kinds of storm and only coming out to stand more beautifully. In fact, I think it’s this tree that makes the scene more so.

To some, it’s a famous tree (see my Instagram posts with it here, here, and here). To me, it’s the most beautiful palm tree in the whole southern California. :D It’s near where I live and I get to see the beauty of this tree more than that of any others.

At this time of year when reflection of the past and vision of the future occurs, I wanted to send my holiday greetings along with this tree. As many of the restrictions are still around on what we can do and where we can go, I wish that you can see through the mundane and feel pleasure from the unusual that you discover.

In the coming year, I resort to continue to honor the true beauty and present fine art from the day-to-day, the not-so-famous, and the “normal”, be it of the people, the landscape, or “The Tree”. ;-)

Until we meet/talk again, happy holidays and have fun rediscovering the unusual in the usual!

Ciao!

What Is That Bird? - Los Angeles Travel Photographer

Spotting the ever-elusive birds in the rain forest of the Amazons is a daunting task, especially when vision was never claimed to be my strength. So, when this bird, in broad daylight, presents herself in front of me, I’d wipe my eyes first.

It looks like she is dropping by from Jurassic Park to pay us a visit. I mean, who would give her babies a pair of claws on their wings?

So, what is that bird, you ask.

Ummm, I’d be more interested in asking if she personally knows a dinosaur or two.

Isn’t it fun to be spending time with these odd birds?

I’d say, just as long as I have a real bed in this world to sleep on when the night falls.

Oh please, don’t say this sunset is other-worldly. I need to come back from the Cretaceous, remember?

Magical Light in Castelluccio di Norcia, Umbria, Italy - Los Angeles Travel Photographer

Castelluccio di Norcia truly is a place "out of this world".  As mentioned in this post, the people here have cultivated lentils for generations.  During the time of our visit, the seeds had been sowed and the rest was left in the hands of nature.  The temperature's not quite there yet and all the lavish colors of yellow, red, purple, etc. that this town is well-known for during summer were not ready to show.  However, lentils were starting to bloom and, day by day,  we were seeing more flowers and colors appearing in the graphic display down in the Piano Grande (the "Great Plain").

This image was made when we went out to explore and the storm was rolling in.  The magic light of this place looks as if a naughty fairy lit up the patches of yellow flowers with a mirror behind the roaring clouds.
