CREATIVE ARTS WEEKEND
This is the place to post for all to see that which you have created, photographed, painted or just wanted to show us or tell us about. It being only a few days before Chinese New Year and Spring Festival, and time to shop for decorations and more for the New Year, here is a photo I took of a store in Chendu a number of years ago.

View, Segovia (© G. Gam)
Nicely framed. I only got to see Madrid, Malaga, Marbella (for a bullfight), and Toledo. I'm sorry I missed Barcelona, and now, Segovia.
Too bad you didn't see Granada and the Alhambra. Beautiful city and a spectacular site.
I was on a group tour, and I know I've missed seeing too much of the world, but I'm glad I never missed seeing China - it is a feast for eyes, ears, tongue and brain.
We always travel independently and have never gone on a group tour. We have occasionally joined day trips, but only a handful of times. On our Southeast Asia cruise a few years ago we joined small group day trips at each of our stops. In China we hired a private tour guide for just a few days as well as one day on one of our trips to England and one day in Ireland. We even easily traveled independently in Japan. Group tours would not be our thing.
Other than the trips around China that the school where I was teaching arranged for us, the only time I've travelled in a group was that trip to Spain and Morocco . It was a group of lawyers, put together for a few lecturss on some aspect of the law provided to us in Malaga. I was only 27 at the time, and I shared a room with a lawyer from NYC who fortunately had with him some Imodium, but I hung out most of the time with a couple from Buffalo. .
Wearing red today in for heart health awareness.
Wow. You resemble my late father a bit. Is your dog as big as you? LOL,. Here the colour red symbolizes joy, prosperity and good fortune, and is especially evident everywhere at New Year and during the Spring Festival.
FWIW: In "TCM" ("Traditional Chinese Medicine"...Accupuncture, Chinese medicinal herbs, Tui Na Massage, etc) the colour red is associated with the Fire Element and the Heart).
My wife is a fan of TCM. In my case sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn;t.

I learned about it some time ago as a cousin of mine became an acupuncturist. (In addition to using the needles, she also diagnoses and prescribes Chinese herbs),
If I need to see a medical professional I would choose a practitioner of TCM over a western MD.
One of the things she told me is that generally speaking there's a really big difference in the skill levels between different practitioners-- even more so than between western doctors.
But as I believe I've mentioned, I also have done Feng Shui on my living space-- and I know that works!
Having experienced both, I would choose the western MD.
Just one of the reasons I would choose a western doctor.
As did we in Toronto.
You can find just about anything to 3d print nowadays.
Amazing to see a 3D effect on a 2D page. .
Thanks to those who posted something, and now the weekend is over, so time to say goodbye. See you again next weekend.
