Lanterns float above Korean New Year's festivities...

Korean New Year, commonly known as Seolnal (Hangul: 설날; RR: Seolnal; MR: Sǒlnal), is the first day of the lunar calendar. It is the most important of the traditional Korean holidays. It consists of a period of celebrations, starting on New Year's Day. Koreans also celebrate solar New Year's Day on January 1 each year, following the Gregorian Calendar. The Korean New Year holidays last three days, and is considered a more important holiday than the solar New Year's Day. [1]

The term "Seolnal" generally refers to Eum-nyeok Seolnal (음력설날, lunar new year), also known as Gujeong (Hangul: 구정; Hanja: 舊正). Less commonly, "Seolnal" also refers to Yang-nyeok Seolnal (양력설날, solar new year), also known as Sinjeong (Hangul: 신정; Hanja: 新正).

Korean New Year generally falls on the day of the second new moon after winter solstice, unless there is a very rare intercalary eleventh or twelfth month in the lead-up to the New Year. In such a case, the New Year falls on the day of the third new moon after the solstice (next occurrence will be 2033). Korean New Year is generally the same day as Chinese New Year, Mongolian New Year, Tibetan New Year and Vietnamese New Year. A commonly used Western name to describe this festival inclusively, although scientifically incorrect, is Lunar New Year.

Unfortunately for Anther Cap he is glued to the rest of the flower and can only hunch down a look like he is taking off. If you are curious try to Google for anatomy of an orchid.

The Jane"s farm in rural Ashland, WI I was told by Rudy's son that he and his dad built the smaller barn with the rounded roof.

Somehow this image was saved from the great loss of images I experienced last fall, so I don't have the author of this texture at this time.

Path leading to Latourell Falls in Multnomah County, Oregon. Filtering was used for effect. Hope you enjoy the photo as much as I enjoyed the peaceful walk down "The Path".

An image from last spring. We did not get the storm they had predicted, so I'm hoping we'll see open water soon. Happy Friday!

Lemon and raspberry cream with powdered sugar frosting. Sorry but it reminded me of a jelly donut. :))

K.C. - The Box Turtle was rescued from I-35 in Kansas City, Missouri. I only keep 1 box turtle, Denver, and that's only because she cannot live in the wild by herself.

The Chequamegon Hotel was built to look like the original and is said to be haunted. It's a beautiful structure that overlooks Chequamegon Bay. It is wonderful to sit on the deck in the summer and watch the sun set and the boats in the marina. Try viewing the the Light Box.

Have a safe and happy weekend!
