Me and My Future Crystal Ball - Los Angeles Travel Photographer

I get it. It’s a NEW year. Great time to pick up something Grande. And no one has the whole year to find out how things pan out nowadays.

But, why are these people all congregating around me as soon as I slipped into the water?

It’s cold out and the water is hot. Some say cold and hot make a good combination - it cleans your fur and clears your mind. I suppose that’s good.

But I see people’s disappointment once they found out what I truly am doing.

I’m sorry, I don’t have stuff that’s more profound to say to you, something that provides vision into your future. I’m just a normal monkey that simply is trying to take a bath. My sincere apologies, peeeeple.

Next time, maybe I should bring along a crystal ball when bathing. At least the ball will make me look smart. I hate disappointing peeeple.

Love, in All Its Glorious Ways - Los Angeles Travel Photographer

Some say it's the month of love.  Then, let's talk about love.

While in Japan, I witnessed the only known primates that take a bath in the comfort of hot spring water.  These close relatives of us human reminded me how one's love can seem so different to an observer.  And yet, just like the world is not all pink, I guess love exists and is exhibited in such diversified forms.

I'm not sure if the fact that Jigokudani, translated literally into English as "Valley of Hell", has anything to do with some unconventional behaviors that happen here, I sure hope that when it's out of line, one knows when to cry for help.

May you enjoy the freedom of love and be loved.
