Buddha Planter
Thought this was a great planter.

Beautiful purple flowers coming right from Buddha's head.
Serene in so many ways! ;-)

@Lake Needwood
Lake Needwood last Sunday.
Seems so calm and peaceful.
And unfortunately then comes the storm. ;-)

World's Most Beautiful Elevator
It contains a cylindrical elevator inside a 1 million liter fish tank filled with 1,500 fish of 50 species.
If you can't get to the ocean, then bring the ocean to you--spectacular! ;-)

Why Orange?
So I made some new "friends" on the train home this evening.
These two Tibetan Buddhist Monks.
I asked about their amazing robes--"why orange?"
They said, they didn't know why, but told me black, white, blue, and red were a no-no.
They started to teach words from their language to another inquisitive fellow from New York riding on the train, and asking them how to say this and that.
They were laughing at his pronunciation.
As he was about to get off the train, he grabbed for their hands and gave them a good shake, and off he went.
I asked if I could take their picture and they smiled and immediately sort of sat up and posed.
At one point on the ride, the monk on the right pulls out a cell phone and starts talking away--the modern technology was sort of a funny contrast with their religious robes and serene nature.
Anyway, I loved this picture and wanted to share this experience.
Hope you enjoy!
