This week we have had several thunder and lightning storms. Last night I got the idea to try to photograph some of the lightning. Here’s what I ended up with (color adjusted to show the lightning better, of course).
Enjoy!

USA Map with Chinese Characters
I found this map of the United States with Chinese Characters. I think it will be a great thing to bring along when we go to China again, to include in our daughter’s SWI Director’s present (indicating which state we live in).

Cultural Revolution History Website Link
This site gave me my first grasp on what the Cultural Revolution was and where and why it happened in China. If you’d rather browse a website than read a book, this is an excellent way to learn about a time that has greatly impacted the modern life of Chinese people today. Great information and cool photos too.

New York Chinese Scholar’s Garden Website Link
This looked like a neat place to visit if you are in the New York vicinity. It is part of the Staten Island Botanical Garden, so for those of you who love plants you get an extra bonus.
