Ethiopia, Here We Come!

Hedgehog Cake: Dinbit is one (part 2)

Metamorphosis

There was actually a time when I thought if I jumped from a ledge and flapped my hands fast enough, I could fly.

But taking two along, up hundreds of steps, was a whole other story.
To Be or Not to Be Part of the Group
Here is Buchela's class.
I - Ice: China School Days

One of the wonderful things about being a child is the ability to totally fall in love with some random aspect of life.
As the dandelions disappear, Buchela has found himself totally mesmerized by ants.
Kite Season
It is good and windy now days here in Dalian.
