Great photos, Buzz. I really like the jugs in the cave.
The couple outside wearing all White. Is that people from a wedding?
If so, I would assume that that picture was not taken in China (?)
That is the Yellow River in the background. We were on the way back home from seeing an ancient Buddhist temple, and just happened upon a young couple's marriage photo shoot for their wedding album. Lots of weddings in China occur with western garb instead of traditional.
That's interesting (I had assumed that all weddings in China had them dressed in Red!)
And IIRC, I believe I had read that in China White was actually the colour of mourning...?
Genuinely traditional weddings in China do have the bride and groom dressed in red. Here are my wife in me in ultra-traditional dress that we wore only for our wedding album. Red is symbolic of happiness, celebration and good fortune.
But we did wear red at our traditional wedding ceremony where our guests came for the service and lunch.
And you are right that white (and not black as in western countries) is the colour for mourning, but younger people in China are no different than western ones in not necessarily following tradition but making their own decisions.
I have nothing this week and traveling the next couple of weeks playing grandpa. I'll dust off the old camera and charge the batteries. Be kind to each other and see you all back here in three weeks!
safe travels. have fun!

Wow, I really like that last photo. The colors add so much to the composition.
Merci beaucoup!
Great photos and great editing. I agree with Perrie.
Thank you.
Morning... Spring is in the air..
My cyclamen and some daffs I was given...
These are plovers...they nest on the ground and have one inch spurs on their wings and will swoop you when they have young..they don't swoop me as they have been here for years.. they were just on my front lawn..
And over from them a pair of Wood ducks have rolled up..they meow like a cat..
So Spring is definitely in the air at last....
Lovely photos Shona!
Arvo Perrie...thanks....not all that clear but had to take them through the window as the ducks are somewhat flighty...
Lots of action happening where you are.
Ahh yep and between them and the koalas and possums it's all action..
Such a nice day I am heading off for a walk along the foreshore shortly...
Not my photo...
I'll have to wait to take walks until this heat subsides.
Just got back from my walk down the foreshore...
Wooden carvings at the Koori dance circle..
The old Post Office..
Great recording of your walk.
Morning...yes thoroughly enjoyed the walk along the beach...just a pity the coffee van wasn't there as I would have got a cappuccino on the way back to the car...
