Thank You for Being You - Los Angeles Fine Art Photographer

Call me slow. This year feels different. I’ve received holiday card before the “holiday season” is here. I’ve been bombarded with Black Friday ads months ahead. While I may get confused often. I know today is THE day. :-)

After last year’s hiatus, my partner-in-crime and I are back to celebrating the day with loved ones again, despite being at a smaller scale. That, I’m thankful for.

During this strange and difficult time that we are still dealing with, many of you stick around and show that you care about me as a person. This, I’m grateful for.

I’ve received many inquiries from the ones that found me online to purchase my art. How do people offer to buy from you when you don’t even have a store yet? I have no idea. But I feel forever indebted.

After years of contemplating, I’ve finally opened up my online store. The door is only cracked open a little. The shelves are not even fully stocked (let me know what you want to see there). It’s not a grand opening. I won’t even say it’s a soft opening. I’m tempted to call it a “slow opening”. How is that? Anyway, feel free to get in and play, especially with the augmented reality (hint: Live Preview).

To end my appearance here, I wanted to present to you the beautiful chrysanthemum that’s blooming in my garden right now. Beautiful and timely.

The Thanksgiving cactus, on the other hand, is still taking its time. There’s a personal story on this cactus. I may share it on my Instagram account tomorrow. In any case, like anything in this life and world, it’ll happen when the timing is right.

Thank you for being you and being patient with me finding my own timing.

Happy Thanksgiving!

When Bison Spoke, We Listened - Los Angeles Travel Photographer

We woke up at the sound of the alarm and sprang to action.

There was no one around. The only sound was from our struggle with the thick snow underneath. Our plan was to explore the other “geysers” close to the Old Faithful Geyser. We wanted to get there before the sun made it above the horizon and we had already scouted the (only) way the afternoon before.

The air was cold and crisp, but I felt my perspiration as we turned around the corner of the Old Faithful Visitor Center. I paused and looked out to the trail that stretches from our feet.

Boy, was I happy I did. Through the vague dawn air, I saw something on the only piece of ground that’s not frozen or covered in snow. Within a stone’s throw, there were bison sleeping. Although mild-looking, an animal that weighs up to one ton can move at a fast speed, too fast for us to escape the impact. Let alone there’s multiples of such odds of impact. Our internal debate ended quickly.

Thanks to these bison, we stuck around the area and got to experience a different Old Faithful Geyser than anticipated.

As the world is fighting COVID-19, I can’t help but wonder how long nature has being crying/yelling at us before it gave us such a blow that finally got our attention.

A Visit from Painted Lady Butterflies - Los Angeles Fine Art Photographer

Ahhh… Spring can definitely be smelt in the air. A little bird whispered in my ear:”Painted lady butterflies are making their way through California, migrating from Mexico to the Pacific Northwest”.

Yet, stubborn like me, I was determined to share with you what we just experienced in record snow fall and bone-chilling temperatures.

But, nature has its own plans. As if the whisper was not loud enough, these ladies made their appearance right in front of my eyes, making me forget my insistence.

Well, there you are, ladies and gentlemen, the painted ladies in a painterly setting. Hot off the press, fresh off the camera. Nature is breath-taking. I have no choice but to oblige.

Oregon, you are next. Are you ready for these fine ladies and their babies?
