Shadow Shot Sunday

lamp by Gallery Juana


Last week I was craving spicy soup, so I headed over to a Thai restaurant. I had tom yun kun. I adore the taste and the finishing touch of cilantro. Cilantro usually refers to the fresh leaves of the Corriander plant. And corriander usually refers to the dry seed or powder. To me, Cilantro and Corriander spice taste totally different.

While I was waiting for my soup, I spotted this lamp hanging from the ceiling. I thought the shape and shades of light though the straw lamp shade were pretty. I took this is Sepia mode. For more shadow shot sundays, visit Hey Harriet's blog.

Blue-eyed Siamese Cat flies to Japan

Today was filled with my art and time with Sputnik. She was bathing herself which gave me the chance to catch a photo of her. I actually adopted Sputnik as a kitten in 1998 when I was living in Mexico. She made the long trip with me to Japan on July 25, 2004. It took me about 6 months to plan the logistics of bringing her from Mexico to Japan. Since I had to fly via the U.S. on Mexicana Airlines and Korean Airlines, that meant 4 countries and two airlines would need to approve her transport. There were many details to keep track of for each country and airline. After 6 months of stressful planning, 16 hours of two airline flights and layovers, She made it to Japan safely!
