after the rains

the goldfishes come out

to celebrate

 

Weather comes and weather goes. After the rains, the little creek fills with water. I like to go down to look for the tiny goldfishes that mysteriously appear from who knows where. Before long the creek dries up and the fishes vanish with the water. Life is short. It’s good to remember to appreciate what is right here right now, before it’s gone.

2091. toe to toe

old friends

There’s seems to be a resurgence for the ancient Chinese game of Mahjong. It’s a interesting, fun, challenging game of skill and luck, just like life. I began playing more than 50 years ago and still enjoy it just as much now as then. Feet and toes have nothing to do with the game, but I couldn’t resist taking this picture when a long-time friend and I met for our weekly match.

a daisy dares to bloom

Little things can make a big difference. Pay attention.
