It was approaching 10am, I was driving my car to office. Temperature is relatively high in this summer, people are trying to escape from the sun and the clear blue sky. Yes, this is the warning from radio and TV: stay indoor or basement to avoid the heat, especially for elder who easily has heart attack or high blood pressure!

Then I saw a couple lovely birds standing on top of a pole, just right outside of my home. What are they watching? or chatting? I wonder...There must be something very interesting to keep them there. Are they watching on me? or my house? or someone's yard? or chatting one family's story?

Oh...I know...today is the day to collect garbages, they are hunting foods to celebrate the Canada Day, it is my country's birthday! Happy Birthday to Canada~~~ and to my friend Michael too!

Snoopy became my buddy since was 10, he has been walking a long journey with me. From a kid to a lady, from student to working, from Hong Kong to Canada, he witnesses my growth.

I will never forget the Sat afternoon I put all my few years red pocket saving on hand and walked into a store alone to get my first snoopy. It was a big decision to make my heart flutter and hand sweating. After that I didn't really spend too much money in my snoopy collections.

This morning I woke up and seeing what snoopy collections in my bedroom, I suddenly found that many pieces were given by family and friends, birthday gifts, Christmas gifts, graduation gifts, souvenirs etc. Snoopy fills up everywhere of my live, there is no doubt that I will live with him till end of life....

It was 9:30pm in mid of June, daylight is long in the summer of Canada. I was driving back home from east to west after my pottery class, the last class before Sept. Roads were surprisingly quiet tonight, sunset turned the sky in romantic blue. I parked my car on the side of Steeles and took this sunset photo with my new camera.

From some days were not too long ago, probably starting in my Asia trip, I've learned to live with camera and my sketch book. Taking photo is collecting images from my eyes, drawing is creating images from my inner heart. I use these 2 ways to communicate with myself, or with someone who understands imagery expression.

Here is the beginning of my blog, the mid of June, a sunset summer evening, in a peaceful city of Canada, there is a story of a Chinese girl has a lovely serene face...
