Photos of an Autumn Lake
Saturday, November 1st, 2008Today we took a hike with our kids around the woods and pond at Caleb Smith State Park in New York. We wanted to spend some time together as a family and see the beautiful autumnal colors. Here are a couple of photos we took of the lake…
Photos of a Phillies Parade – A Sea of People All in Red
Saturday, November 1st, 2008The Phillies won the American baseball World Series on Wednesday. Yesterday they had a parade in Philadelphia to celebrate it.
My friend Ray Lee sent me this photo below. He took it from his office building when the parade was passing by. I love the photo and wanted to post it here. After the original picture, you’ll see a couple of attempts I made to crop it and enhance the color. It’s interesting to see such a mass of people wearing red!
Thanks to Ray for sharing his photo!

Little Rhyme about Birds and the World
Monday, June 23rd, 2008Project Gutenberg just posted Birds Illustrated by Color Photograph [April, 1897] – which you can access online or downlowd from the link I provided. It might be nice to peruse with an elementary school child.
Here’s a nice little rhyme I found inside it…
“‘Tis always morning somewhere, and above
The awakening continents, from shore to shore,
Somewhere the birds are singing evermore.”
Enjoy!

Photos of Hong Kong
Friday, June 20th, 2008I recently posted a photo of a typical Hong Kong street. Below are some more photos that my friend Ray Lee took on a recent trip to Hong Kong. You might like to see them to get a feel for what Hong Kong looks like if you’ve never been there before.
Here’s a photo of the Hong Kong skyline…
Here’s a pretty bridge…
Below you’ll see the old clock tower in Tsim Sha Tsui. This clock tower is now a historical landmark. It used to be part of a railroad station…
Ray wrote, “The tram. It’s a rather inefficient and inflexible mode of transportation. However, it is deemed a characteristic of Hong Kong that is worth preserving.” Here’s a photo of a tram in Hong Kong…
Here’s a store where they sell ducks…
Ray wrote, “The bright light in the distance is from street vendors. This is the Temple Street night market. After the sun sets, street vendors open ’shop’.”
Here’s the Bank of China lit up at night…
Below is a night view of Hong Kong from “The Peak”. Ray wrote, “We took the Peak Tram to “The Peak”. Hong Kong Island, as its name suggests, is an island. There’s the Peak Tram that you can take to go up to the top of the island.” Here’s the spectacular view you can see from “The Peak” at night…
Many thanks to Ray Lee for sharing his photos of Hong Kong with us!

Hong Kong Photo
Saturday, June 14th, 2008My friend Ray, who spent most of his early childhood in Hong Kong, sent me this photo from his recent trip there. He said, “This is a pretty typical side street in Hong Kong, with a lot of small stores and signs.”…
Many thanks to Ray Lee for sharing this photo with us!

At the Zoo by A. A. Milne
Wednesday, June 4th, 2008Here’s a poem called At the Zoo by A. A. Milne, the author of Winnie the Pooh…
At the Zoo
There are lions and roaring tigers,
and enormous camels and things,
There are biffalo-buffalo-bisons,
and a great big bear with wings.
There’s a sort of a tiny potamus,
and a tiny nosserus too-
But I gave buns to the elephant
when I went down to the Zoo!
There are badgers and bidgers and bodgers,
and a Super-in-tendent’s House,
There are masses of goats, and a Polar,
and different kinds of mouse,
And I think there’s a sort of a something
which is called a wallaboo*-
But I gave buns to the elephant
when I went down to the Zoo!
If you try to talk to the bison,
he never quite understands;
You can’t shake hands with a mingo**-
he doesn’t like shaking hands.
And lions and roaring tigers
hate saying, “How do you do?”-
But I gave buns to the elephant
when I went down to the Zoo!
*Probably a wallaby – a type of small kangaroo.
**A mingo is a fish called a vermillion snapper (similar to a red snapper).
A Visit to the Zoo – Check Out these Photos of Monkeys and Giraffes
Monday, June 2nd, 2008We visited the Bronx Zoo yesterday.
We were amazed by how human-like the monkeys looked…
They acted even more human than they appeared…
We also loved the giraffe mama and baby…
It was cool to see the mama giraffe curve her neck and then try to hide behind the trees…
Come back next time for a poem about the zoo and some more photos…
