[Daily Photo] Winter landscape in Waterloo Recreation Area

Share this :
I was in the Waterloo Recreation Area (in Chelsea, Michigan), on my way from Clear Lake to Mud Lake. The tree without any leaves and dry grass matched perfectly in this winter scene.

[Daily Photo] Mammoth Hot Springs, Yellowstone National Park

Share this :
This photo was taken at Mammoth Hot Springs, Yellowstone National Park. The buildings in this photo are Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel and Cabins. We were very lucky to book a cabin for one night. However, the cabin we booked was Budget Cabins. It didn't have a private bathroom. You had to use the nearby shared bathroom. Be sure to bring a flashlight when you go to the bathroom at night.

[Daily Photo] Washington National Cathedral

Share this :
The building in this photo is Washington National Cathedral in Washington DC. It took a lot of effort to get there just to realize the inside of the cathedral was temporarily closed  due to the damage caused by the earthquake. And I really needed to go to the restroom at that moment. Fortunately, I found a school nearby and used their restroom.

[Daily Photo] Raccoon playing with a tangerine

Share this :
My wife bought us a raccoon doll at Smithsonian Zoo in Washington DC last week. He is now our new family member. His eyes are very special; It seems that  no matter where you are, he is always looking at you. He loves playing with the tangerine (actually it is also a toy).

最近家裡多了一位新成員---目睭‧安‧海瑟威‧古錐‧諧星‧巧克力脆片(他媽媽幫他取的,目前名字還在增長當中。)他是一隻小浣熊。他媽媽上星期去華盛頓特區開會的時候特地從動物園把他帶回家來。他對於橘子一直愛不釋手。他的眼睛很特別,不管你在哪個方位,他都一直看著你。

[Daily Photo] Heidelberg Castle and City, Germany

Share this :
I went to a conference in Heidelberg, Germany many years ago. I took this photo from the Old Bridge over Neckar River. Heidelberg Castle is on the hill, and buildings along Neckar River are Heidelberg City. The crane in this photo is really annoying. It seemed that there was always construction in every signature view in Germany during my trip.

[Daily Photo] Ann Arbor at dusk

Share this :
I was taking photos in downtown Ann Arbor, in front of Hill Auditorium. The dark blue sky at dusk was really amazing. The road on the left side of this photo is North University Avenue. At the end of North University Avenue is South State Street. This intersection is one of the busiest intersections in Ann Arbor.
