Today features another simple still life of my trusted Lacie drives that store most of my digital photos. These are very reliable and fast for me to store and process my RAW image files.
Today I have the chance to find some nest near my apartment that belong to the hooded oriole birds. I spent some time to take photos of these birds. I couldn’t get very close to them as I like, but do enjoy the photos.
The night before the opening of the San Diego County Fair, my friend, Gordy, and I went to the fair to visit the photography and wood work exhibition. There are nice pieces of art at the fair this year.
Today, I have just learned that around this time is kitten season where the Humane Society receives a lot of kittens. Since the Humane Society can only keep them for 24 hours, they are asking the local residents if they could host the cats so that they could grow big enough to be neutered and...
The office building where I study at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography has become a home for a pair of mourning doves. The male dove had failed to build a full nest last week since he chose a space that was to narrow to hold a full one. This week he found another place that...
I have this Chinese signature stamp/seal that was given to me by a friend, an old roommate/classmate. When we went back to China, he brought back a gift box that had a ceramic container of stamp ink and a rectangular prism. At one end of the prism, the head of a dragon was carved and...

La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology locates just right next to UCSD. It interesting to have a building that is surrounded by a landscape that is a bit more barren than other places around La Jolla and San Diego.
The office building where I work is covered with natural wooden panels that has aged with the sun and some rain. The texture and color produce pleasing looks for the eyes.
At the jetty in Mission Bay, there is a number of abandoned/feral cats living in the between the rocks. It is very sad to see that people would abandon their cats here, even though it is illegal to do so.
