Fall Foliage -western new york

Took two day off this week and explored a few state parks here in western new york, Allegany State Park, Letchworh State Park, and Niagara Falls State Park. Weather was super cooperative. Warm and sunny, a little too sunny to get better pictures. But I am not complaining.

Buffalo Garden Walk

The annual garden walk in Buffalo turned out to be a fun event. Although it was quite steamy today and T storm was in the forecast, I decided to take a chance and go for a walk. It ended to be a nice 4-hour long walking. Mainly strolling along several main streets in Buffalo Elmwood neighborhood.
New discovery, a store similar to Trader joe's and many beautiful private gardens that opening for the event.

New in town

Finally got a bit time to explore Buffalo downtown this morning. There are quite a few unique architectures. Will explore more.

Tulip Festival

Visited my parents during the Mother's day weekend. The tulip festival also started from the weekend. Certainly I wouldn't miss the opportunity for some pictures. The weather was still kinda chilly in Ottawa though.

雨中花

波士顿的春天一向变化多。上两周不时艳阳高照，让人觉得夏天就不远了。这周末又阴雨阵阵，于是一夜回到解放前。不过前一阵暖和的四月天，已经催开了各种五月花。

all taken by my pana TZ5, the micro function turned out to be useful.

sunny day, spring in the air

After two consecutive rain storms, a sunny and warm weekend is very much appreciated by everyone in the city. I also took a walk in the city, from copley square, commonwealth ave, Boston public garden, hatch shell area, Longfellow bridge and ended at MIT boat house at Cambridge side. A very lovely day and a enjoyable walk.

Silent Auction for Haiti

BPC organized a silent auction fund raising event for Haiti. I thought this is a nice cause and a good chance to see photos by other BPC members. I donated three images and felt happy that one of them is sold and raised some $. Just heard that we raised about $3500 and will donate to Doctors without borders. Quite impressive from a three hour event.

天使之城

Spent Xmas holiday visiting my sister in southern California, just outside of Los Angeles. Weather there was definitely milder than New England. Pictures from Griffin Park. Turns out that the "Hollywood" sign is not really in Hollywood, but in Griffin Park.
