Happy New Year!

As is the tradition with City Daily Photo, bloggers are challenged to post based on a theme. In January our theme has been “Photo of the Year.” On the CDP website I saw one photographer comment that he was going to make a collage and I thought “great idea” (and easier). So I’ve chosen a few photos of new discoveries or experiences that were particular to 2014.

If you want to see more photos from the CDP community, click here. There are great photos from all over the world.

Travel Theme: Pink

Ailsa of Where’s My Backpack is challenging photographers to share a photo featuring pink. Here’s mine of the fleeting, gorgeous pink plum blossoms. They’ll be gone far too soon.

You can find links to other pink photos here.

Signs of Spring

Trees budding around campus

At Forest Park

Posted on December 15, 2013December 15, 2013 Posted in ParkTagged late autumn, path, trees1 Comment

It’s gotten brown and gray and the sky, as is now typical, was polluted this Sunday. November and early December, where there’s no snow, are low points in nature if you ask me.

November Theme Day: Heights

Posted on November 1, 2013October 31, 2013 Posted in CDP Theme Day, Nature: flora or faunaTagged City Daily Photo theme day, fall, foliage, mountain, Red Leaves Valley, Shandong, treesLeave a comment

November’s theme at City Daily Photo is heights, perfect since I went to Red Leaves Valley to see the crimson and gold leaves. Yes, it’s crowded, but for a view like this, it was worth the travel time and crowds.

If you’d like to see more interpretations from cities all over the world, check out City Daily Photo.

Weeping Willows

Jinan’s official tree is the willow. Here’s a few graceful ones at Daming Lake.

Still Green

Most of our trees are still green and (knock on wood) the sky is still blue.
