Garden d’Lights

Bellevue Botanical Garden d’Lights isn’t too far from downtown Bellevue, Washington. Last year, there wasn’t any fees to enjoy the display. To limit visitors strolling down in the dark, $5 admission fee was issued.

I really enjoyed the lights. They were different and fun to look at. One thing I would add to the show is ambient music, have different sounds that match with the lights, i.e. birds chirping where the bird nests are.

The show will go on until January 1st, 2011. Don’t miss! :-) //nack

The picture above is of a waterfall. I added a little flash (a lot) to show the actual waterfall (below).

Merry Christmas, everyone! :-)

Leavenworth

Leavenworth, WA is a beautiful little German town in a valley of Cascade Mountains. It’s a quick getaway if you live in Washington. There are many visitors during the holidays season attending just a few of the festivals and events. One of the events you don’t want to miss is the Christmas Lighting Ceremony. It happens only on weekends in Decembers. This coming weekend will be the last weekend of the light show of the year.

These girls walk around on the main street and sing Christmas songs.

A commercial by Vincent Laforet

I really like the cinematography of this commercial, Famous Footware “Neighborhood” spot. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Both behind the scenes and final production are amazing.

Snow

I love snow, at least for the snowing part. The after effect isn’t pretty. Like I read one of my friend’s status, “snow is like music. If you don’t C-sharp, you B-flat.” Despite almost “B-flat” a few times, I love how everything is covered in snow. I took a few shots of snow around my apartment. I promised myself to go a few blocks further next time it snows. :-)

Surprisingly, some flowers are still alive during this time of the year.

Very Blessed

Go to work, go to school, go to work, and go home. That’s pretty much my daily routine (well, Facebook-ing and taking pictures during those activities of course! ;-) . I can’t express how grateful I am having amazing co-workers. Every time I return from school, I get a dish of food or desert on my desk. Just look at these pictures below. yummm! :-)
I’m quickly finding my family here at work. Thank you. //nack@

Testing from my phone

I like to take pictures. I just realized why shouldn’t I create a photo blog site?

So this is my first post. :-)
