S and B

Trapped

The moment

I always know Black Pants got a bit of alien genes from me. By the way, nice shot B. :)

Sweet hunter

Black Pants is a very sweet cuddly baby. We take catnaps together with her in my arm. And when she is being a little brat, singing to her calms her down and put her to sleep.

BP changes her face completely when I take out the cat teaser. The feathers totally drive her nuts. A few times she even breaks loose some from biting too hard. We all agree that BP would make a great killer out there. Birdies, be aware!

Black Pants

Recently, I got a baby girl from the shelter when she was 1.5 month old.
We named her Black Pants because she wears one from behind although she has many other physical characteristics to name after, like the three black spots on her nose or her long crooked-tip tail.

BP is a quiet observer and almost always lady-like. I love the way she sits nice and straight, curls her long tail up close to her body, and looks at you with her innocent eyeballs.

She has entered my life and stole my heart in such an unexpected fashion. I finally got a taste of what it feels like to be a overly protective mommy, who is entirely in love, attached, and obsessed with her little furry baby. :>

More Miniatures

Someone's very fond of my miniatures. Yeah, those are pretty darn cool. So here is more.

Aquarium du Grand Lyon

By the end of this trip, I'm exhausted from too much cultural stuff. I have to get out of the city and soak myself in a pond of blue. It is in this water world, I find peace.
So next time you see my post, I'm off on my journey to somewhere again.

Museums No More

By the time I walked into Musée Art Contemporarain Lyon, I'm done with museums in France.
I had to come to see this one because it is the Biennale de Lyon 2007.



A group of artists in Lyon painted 400 walls of buildings to include the community into an art environment. One of the pioneers who started this project was Tony Garnie.

Musée des Miniatures et Décors de Cinéma

This is a very cool museum that Dan would totally fall for. The old building has 5 floors of collection including delicate miniatures, puppets, masks and dolls for special effect in movies, and the movie set of "The Perfume".

Animals in France

I was going to leave France with an impression that there aren't no cats in France. I guess they are all locked up at homes in the cities that I've visited. So you can imagine how excited I was when I saw a big black kitty wandering off the Roman ruins of Lyon.



The French love dogs, especially little ones. I saw many Yorkshire walking around. Dogs can enter many places on foot like some shops, restaurants, and airports. Cleaning after them in the public is not mandatory. Better watch where you are going in dog cities!




Did I ever mention that French pigeons are incredibly "large"? They fly close for bread crumbs.
I tried to chase one down. It was too fat and too lazy to fly away, so it ran moving its heavy butt left and right. These birds make my mouth watery, meow.
