Red for Chinese New Year for goat





The Chinese Zodiac is a 12 year cycle. Each year of the 12 year cycle is named after one of the original 12 animals. Each animal has a different personality and different characteristics. The animal is believed to be the main factor in each person's life that gives them their traits, success, and happiness in their lifetime. A person may not remember the year he was born, but he definitely what animal he is.

The Chinese zodiac refers to a pure calendar cycle.
The animals are the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep (ram or goat), monkey, rooster, dog, and boar.

Photohunt: Cherished with a chieftan





Here taken with my Kelabit Sister in Law Elley's uncle. I had to take a photo with this chieftain. The girls were Elley's flower girls. This is cherished, the big man has died.

I was swept by emotions as I looked for just the right photo. So many cherished memories, moments and yes . . . even things.
I decided to go with this photo that represents many of those thoughts I cherish.

Photohunt: Cherished




The PhotoHunt for today is 'Cherished'. This blown glass piano gives me cherished memories. I was holidaying in Australia where where half of my siblings live, and where my Mother died.

I bought this for my oldest girl who had been abroad for almost ten years, and she played as beautiful piece for me. It was the piece I heard for the first time when I just given birth to her.

Photohunt : Plaid





The PhotoHunt for today is Plaid. A plaid is a cloth made with a tartan pattern wrapped around the waist and cast over the shoulder and fastened at the front. The literal Gaelic meaning is "blanket". Not sure if a kilt fits the theme.

New Zealand is a country of diversed ethnicity. The Maoris came, then the Pakehas meaning foreignors. Among the British stocks are the Scottish. My Sisiter-in-law Karen originally from Christchurch has Scottish ancestry. Dunedin proudly claims to be the the most Scottish city in New Zealand.
