The Year of the Tiger

On behalf of the entire family, Nisha wishes everyone a Happy Chinese New Year.

Now, some of you may wonder why her photo was chosen ... hmmm?

Well, I was trying my darndest to get GOOD solo pictures of the other girls but I failed.

Her photo was the simplest and I was able to do a photoshop treatment I was dying to try.

I hope you like it!

Personality Counts

I first saw him walking on the street a few blocks from where this photo was taken.

I saw only his back but he had a strut that would've put John Travolta to shame and I was interested.

So ... to my surprise and a smile on my face I found him, "singing" into a tin cup and oh, how I wished he would walk that walk.

You would have liked him. He had an exuberant and electrifying personality that would make any street performer proud.

I love the street artists and got to know some of them pretty well in Barcelona.

A street-performers life is very hard and a little kindness (like a coin or two) in their direction wouldn't be a bad idea for either you or them.

I invite you to view my flickr photo gallery of the these special people who made my life a little bit richer.

Window Dressing

She obviously looks confident, surefooted and projects an air of self-assurance.

But, to some, she may appear to be cocky, blunt and full of hot air.

Would you vote for her?

I would!!.

She certainly can't be any worse than the blunder-heads presently elected who represent their best interests.
