Cat Nap

Taken June 2004 in Guangzhou, China (Guangdong Province) I was suprised to catch glimpse of this cat napping on some stairs.

Waiting

While visiting Sighisoara, Romania in 2005 I noticed this woman sitting in an alley way just waiting. What she was waiting for I do not know but it reminded me of a portion of my favorite children's book , Oh The Places You'll Go by Dr. Suess when he writes of the waiting place

...You can get so confused
that you'll start in to race
down long wiggled roads at a break-necking pace
and grind on for miles across weirdish wild space,
headed, I fear, toward a most useless place.
The Waiting Place...
...for people just waiting.
Waiting for a train to go
or a bus to come, or a plane to go
or the mail to come, or the rain to go
or the phone to ring, or the snow to snow
or waiting around for a Yes or No
or waiting for their hair to grow.
Everyone is just waiting.
Waiting for the fish to bite
or waiting for wind to fly a kite
or waiting around for Friday night
or waiting, perhaps, for their Uncle Jake
or a pot to boil, or a Better Break
or a string of pearls, or a pair of pants
or a wig with curls, or Another Chance.
Everyone is just waiting...

Peek-a-Boo

One of my favorite pictures. I took this at the Nanchang Zoo in Jiangxi China, June 2004.
