Playing Around With Mobile Photogrid App

Had been having fun with PhotoGrid lately, a free mobile photo collage app. Here are some samples of the photo collages I made whenever I find myself sitting in the bus. :)

The Challenge of Choosing That One Picture

La Jolla Coast Boulevard Tidepools @ Dusk and Sunset

Whenever I am faced with the challenge of choosing that one picture and I have a hard time choosing which one, my answer always is to make a collage, then, I do have one picture, a picture collage! :)

In the above collage, I asked the help of hubby which one to choose. From the collage above, at first, his choice was the top left picture. But then, after I showed him two at a time, and asked him which one he likes better between the two, the choice for that one picture changed. Could you tell which one of the 6 pictures below finally ended to be that one picture?

Hanging on to Fall

Fall in winter, these are the sights adding simple joys in my early morning walk. I love that we don't have white Christmas, but a golden one of warmth and love.

A happy Cat-urdate

It has been a while since last post here. Truth is, I've never gotten a chance to work in my own personal laptop since summer break ended late August. I get to share pictures in my Facebook because it's easy through cell phone. Somehow, I forgot about blogger mobile. But now, am back, with mobile posting. :) here are some happy weekend wandering and caturdays I took today.


I may not have the luxury of time to blog these days, but weekend wanderings and enjoying outdoors aren't sacrificed at all, as they are part of my rejuvenating activities.

Leaving you with these happy mom and baby cheetah pics.

Fun Friday: S is for San Diego

Our Blogging for Fun group is doing an A-Z  meme for our Fun Friday (or is it now Saturday Special for me since I am always a day or two late) , and this week, we are working on letter S.
S is for San Diego
and all the other S in and around San Diego, such as:
The Sea and the Snowcapped Mountain
Sunset By the Sea
Splashing Waterfall
Sea Caves
Sea Lions
Seals
Surf
Sea Gulls
Sea Star
Sea stars
Succulents by the Sea
And there are probably more S in and around San Diego that I can add here, however, my other S pictures such as the squirrels and snails were somehow hidden in my portable hard disk drive and unlabeled that I still have to look for them :( 

Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

From Seattle, we drove 120+ miles North East to North Cascades National Park. North Cascades National Park sits on the border of US and Canada. This park is also known as the Alps of the West,  features rugged mountain peaks,
