Let us love winter, for it is the spring of genius. ~Pietro Aretino














The cat is my cat, Oreo. She was born in Dubai.
The tree and roses are in my garden. The flowers are still blooming although it's almost January! It's a warm winter this year, which is comfortable but causes a problem for local farmers as drought settles in--this might also mean a dry spring. The other pictures were taken in my neighborhood and at the Baptism Site at the Jordan River, the place where Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist thousands of years ago. At that time the Jordan was roaring and rushing and 10 times the width it is now. Sadly, its waters are now diverted for cultivation purposes by Jordan, Israel, and Syria. The rest flows into the Dead Sea. The people you see are pilgrims on the opposite bank, in Israel.

  2. 整體上進步很多,很不錯。
    第一張構圖很美,但畫質似乎有些粗,是ISO調高了嗎,還是因為縮圖的關係?
    第二張感覺很美,但放大看到前面二棵樹是糊的,向前走些躲過樹再用廣角去拍會不會好些(這要試試才知道)。
    貓咪很可愛
    欄杆這張很棒,畫質色澤和層次都很好。
    樹葉這張好像失焦了,是不是速度太慢導致的?
    果子和第一張的感覺相似。
    玫瑰很美,可惜暗了些。
    約旦河就是這黃黃的泥巴水?有些意外。
    最後那張放大來看好像是你媽媽和哥哥?
