I was going to change the name of this to "Seeing Red" as a result of getting an email from FlickrHQ telling me I've been banned... Yes, banned... from the Black and White group. I saw red because I wasn't given an explanation. If I broke some rule and banning is their only option, so be it. But I think a member of a group deserves the right to be told what infraction they've committed. FlickrHQ says in their email they're just the messenger and to contact the group... But the comments are disabled, probably because I'm no longer a member. . So, if anyone that follows me is a member of that group tell them I said it's their loss, not mine. 😛😁
Excerpt from taipingkoon.com.hk/index.php/en/about/milestone:
Tai Ping Koon Restaurant (TPK) was founded in 1860 (Qing Dynasty-10th year of Xianfeng) by Mr. Chui Lo Ko who originally worked as a Chef for a western trading company in Guangzhou and his specialties were western dishes. He left the company and became a hawker. Created a fusion of Chinese and Western dishes, which were appreciated by his customer. In 1860, Mr. Chui started up his own restaurant in Tai Ping Sha of Guangzhou and he named it according to the venue. It was the first restaurant in Guangzhou specializing in western cuisine.
The most special dishes such as roasted pigeon, smoked pomfret, Baked Coconut Chicken in Portuguese Style were created by Mr. Chui and renowned in Southern Guangdong. The Marinade invented by the successors became an incomparable classical dish as well. The historic customers include Dr. Sun Yat-sen, Zhou Enlai, Chiang Kai-shek. In 1938, successors of Mr. Chui started up the first TPK in Hong Kong and became the first ancestor of Hong Kong Style Western Restaurant. TPK obtained an important status in the culture of Hong Kong Diet. Nowadays, Hong Kong Tai Ping Koon restaurant is still run by the Chui family. (No branch in Mainland China)
Norfolk Southern train 509 heads back to the mines for more coal as it passes between the Northeast Extension of the PA Turnpike (distant) and Chestnut Street (where I'm standing) at Emmaus, PA in October 2000. The Chestnut Street bridge has since been rebuilt with tightmesh chainlink fencing, making it nearly impossible for D-SLR photography.
I was almost laughing too hard to take the shots. LOL
A fellow flickr user, stilskweekz , asked to do a little work on this shot of Tommy. Please check out the result: Don't Make Me Come Over There!
Another flickr user, MerrySparrow , has asked to use this shot on her blog. See it here: 15 Standing Cats
Driving once again to Lake Wales, we passed cows in the field grazing. Being Spring, there were many young calves this time. Some were really small, and others like these two. Seeing the 'babies' was very moooving! ;-)

We passed this cross on the way to Orlando last week. I wondered why it was erected on that particular stretch of road.
