Red River Delta and the scenery of rice fields, water buffalo and everyday Vietnamese village life, such a beautiful sight, like seeing a novel come alive.

NO TRIPOD USED, HANDHELD ONLY AND THEY CAME OUT PERFECTLY ALIGNED. I TOOK ONLY THREE PICTURES TO MAKE THIS PANORAMIC.
Liu Fang Yuan, the Garden of Flowing Fragrance, is one of the largest Chinese gardens
outside China. Designed to create, preserve, and promote the rich and complex traditions of Chinese
culture, this authentic garden is a special place for visitors to feel inspired by the elegant harmony
of nature and poetry. Thanks to visionary landscape architects and artisans from China and the
United States, inspired historians, expert gardeners, and generous benefactors, Liu Fang Yuan
reflects today an exceptional combination of learning and beauty.
A Chinese garden is often compared to a work of art: It is like a scroll painting composed of carefully arranged scenes. As you stroll through the pathways and pavilions of Liu Fang Yuan, new vistas are revealed as if a scroll were being slowly unrolled. In the garden, as in a painting, several key elements play an important part in creating balance, meaning, and beauty in the composition.

Taken for the Macro Monday theme of 'slices' of food.
A slice of toast loaded with Vintage Dundee Orange Marmalade.
"In 1797 the first jar of marmalade was produced in Dundee, Scotland. Mackays, a family business, is now the last remaining producer of the Dundee Orange Marmalade in the Dundee area - 'The Home of Marmalade'
Using traditional open copper pans, the highest quality bitter Seville oranges and their authentic methods, ensure rich fruit flavours in every batch and that special home-made taste you expect"
It was delicious!!

Do you ever find those places where it seems like you took a step back in time? A place uninterrupted by modern developments of civilization. That is what this place felt like to me, and I loved it! It is so sweet to find hidden gems like this where you can leave the world as we know it for a moment and can take time to soak it all in. These are the places that I feel like I grow closest to the Lord. I am so thankful that there are still places like this left and that He grants us time to go to them and rest in His presence and bask in His goodness!
Ulysses strikes a contemplative pose in this beautiful natural light portrait, his gaze directed off to the side with that thoughtful expression cats seem to reserve for moments when they're pretending not to be entirely focused on you. His tabby and white markings are on full display—the classic brown mackerel tabby pattern on his face and ears contrasting beautifully with that luxurious white chest ruff that's pure Maine Coon fluff.
The composition captures him sitting perfectly upright on what appears to be a gray couch or cushioned surface, his posture absolutely regal. Those white front paws are placed just so, like a sphinx guarding ancient secrets. The soft natural lighting coming from the windows illuminates his features gorgeously, highlighting the translucent quality of his backlit ears and bringing out the golden-green tones in his eyes.
Behind him, the domestic scene provides context—hardwood floors, white trim, framed photos on the wall, and that glimpse of everyday home life that makes pet portraits feel authentic. This isn't a studio setup; this is Ulysses in his natural habitat, clearly comfortable and confident in his domain.
What really makes this portrait work is how it captures his personality—that slightly aloof, dignified air that Maine Coons are famous for, combined with just enough softness in his expression to suggest he's not entirely above accepting attention. His fluffy coat is clearly well-maintained, with that distinctive Maine Coon semi-long fur that requires regular grooming but always photographs beautifully. The slight blur in the background keeps all focus on this magnificent feline, making it clear who the star of this household truly is.
I'm not sure about this photo whether I should really write something about it or just leave it that way? Everyone can make their own thoughts about it and what they feel. Only this: This image means a lot to me, it was a long time ago - back in the days of analog times with my old Canon F1 - and it is an important part of me and my whole life.
Life goes on and this picture helps me a lot to do this now, because children give me everything and they are the hope for tomorrow. They are full of joie de vivre, real and authentic. The time with them was the best of my life, but also the most intense.
Don't limit your child to what you've learned because they were born in a different time.
(From Hebrew.)
Three things have remained from Paradise: The stars of the night, the flowers of the day and the eyes of children.
(Dante Alighieri)
There are so many wonderful memories attached to this picture. I have a tear in my eyes...
