Salmon berry barbs again. Shot the strobe through the leaf in the background to get the translucent barbs.

Haven't taken much photo of Maggie since I gave her a new face.

I really like her in this black dress. Don't who made it, but it was a gift from dear Laura. Thank you Laura:)

I really love the translucent face, how her tone changes against different lighting.

...so vivid these berries with the autumn sun shining through them and making them light up...

...view on black for full effect!...

Glass block window in our bathroom. This is the first house I have owned with these type windows. It's kind of cool because you can sort of see whats out side but not too clear. And amazingly enough they don't transmit a lot of heat. This window is over our tub which never gets used.

it's been really hectic over the past week plus...

I brought a stray i've been feeding to neuter, (some of you may know him, it's the little one-eyed kitty, Du Yan) and he's staying temporarily in my house now to recuperate from the operation, creating much confusion and high emotions among my other 4 cats. it's been really hard to try and take care of him and comforting all the rest that it's all right. i really hope they get along but they, including Du Yan, all seem so traumatised! :(((

Plus my school work is working its evil voodoo now, so i really don't have the luxury of doing my fav flickring...

AND my precious camera was sent to Olymous due to a broken USB connector..i got it back today BUT i just found out it doesn't even switch on now!! <:(

i'm going to send it to them again over the next few days..fortunately, there's still my trusty but never rusty phonecam here.. :)

I'm really sorry that i don't have the time to pop by to all my friends right now, and argh i know i'm missing out a lot! But I promised to myself i will definitely satisfy my flickr addiction and pay all my friends out there a thorough visit once my life returns to a more normal pace.. :D

it also remind me Paul Jackson's 'One Crease Origami'

The sun shining behind these green translucent flower heads produces an almost magical effect.
