IMGP7604.jpgIMGP7620.jpgIMGP7623-2.jpg‘ “Scared BoBo” was a legendary creature in the Underland.
Elders said that BoBo was an extremely timid creature. Any moves and sounds would scare it.
It was a master of camouflage. Usually, it stood quietly against wall, looking just like a settee, but when being scared, it could run away in a astonishing speed with its long legs.
Nowadays, few people had seen BoBo with their own eyes. Some even believed that it had already been extinct. But rumor said if lucky enough, you might find one in the Queen’s palace.’
Just kidding. XD
Scared BoBo is a settee inspired by my own timid cat BoBo. When BoBo got scared, he would jump up like a spring with his legs strengthened and back arched, that finally became the unique shape of the long legs and the arch front of the settee.
To me, this settee is not just a settee. During the creation, I felt that by making a BoBo inspired settee, I made BoBo immortal. One day BoBo and our beloved pets will leave us, which makes me feel so sad. (My dog, ‘Huang Tou’ means yellow head in Chinese, passed away on June 4 this year, I still miss him so much.) I think with the settee, BoBo’s story, our story will be continued even after our death. Just imagine some time in the future, a collector will introduce the story behind this settee to his/her visitors, ’Once there was a timid cat called BoBo...’. And I feel that every time the name ‘BoBo’ came out from another person, (it’s not a usual name for a settee :P), it enhances the little trace of our existence in the world.
Every edition of BoBo is limited.
The first edition, golden brown + blue is available for pre-order. It is limited up to 5.
The frame is made of resin, painted by hand. The cushions is made of polyurethane foam wrapped with silk brocade.

The summer sun ray
shifts through a suspicious tree.
though I walk through the valley of the shadow
It sucks the air
and looks around for me.
The grass speaks.
I hear green chanting all day.
I will fear no evil, fear no evil
The blades extend
and reach my way.
The sky breaks.
It sags and breathes upon my face.
In the presence of mine enemies, mine enemies
The world is full of enemies.
There is no safe place.
~ Anne Sexton, "Noon Walk on the Asylum Lawn"
I wanna run through your wicked garden
Heard that's the place to find you
Cause I'm alive, so alive now
I know the darkness binds you
Can you see without eyes?
Can you speak without lies?
I wanna drink from your naked fountain
I can drown your sorrows
I'm gonna burn, burn you alive now
Out of the chains that bind you
Can you see just like a child?
Can you see just what I want?
Can I bring you back to life?
Are you scared of life?
Burn, burn, burn
Burn your wicked garden down
Burn, burn, burn
Burn your wicked garden to the ground
Can you feel pain inside?
Can you love, can you cry?

Yeah I'm a flightless bird if the car is to wings and ability to drive is to fly :/
It's been like 1 n half week that i'm just 'trying' to learn driving...but still totally pathetic at it. So far as the roads are empty and without any turns or speed-breaker...i can drive fine :P ... but as soon as it comes to dealing with traffic signals or watching out for some jerks trying to overtake your 'snail-speed' vehicle from wrong side... I get totally panicked and would screw up totally. :/
Once I'm stopped at traffic signal... just can't move ahead without missing the green sign at least once, causing the traffic jam and getting my instructor totally mad :(
i hate cars...i hate driving... and i hateeeeeeeeee traffic signals :/

I was mowing our hiking trail through our land near the meadow when I spotted a whitetail deer with her baby fawn. The fawn must have been only a day or two old and could hardly walk. The mother ran off and the fawn just dropped into a ball and tried not to move. I hurried back to the house and got my camera hoping the fawn would still be there. Sure enough it was and it was shaking like a leaf as I approached it. I took several pictures and hurried away from it. This reminds me of a couple of years ago when I was riding my bike on a highway near Boulder Junction Wisconsin and a doe and her fawn tried to cross the road in front of me. The mother ran off and the poor fawn dropped in the middle of the road. I hurried and got off my bike because several cars were approaching where the fawn was laying in the middle of the road. I stopped the cars and picked up the poor shaking fawn and carried it to the other side of the road and put it down. I could not leave the poor thing to be hit by a car.

Something told him that mansion was haunted.
We watch this elk being born along side the Gibon River in Yellowstone. Unfortunately with all of the people crowding the mother
and new born, the mother tried the cross the river with a less than one hour old calf . The calf was swept away down stream screaming
towards where I was set up. The calf was within about 30 yards when the mother ran down stream and guided the wet and unhappy calf to safety on the opposite bank.
