This is actually a pretty tiny seahorse in a large bubble-like aquarium. It was hard to spot the seahorses hiding amongst the seaweed at the Toronto Aquarium. Read about my review here. Every Friday Lili shares her favorite photography & the stories behind the photos.
A new year, a new weekly series: Photo Friday! Each week I'll bring you some of my favorite photos, some of travel, some of my general life. I hope you enjoy! This Photo Friday, I share my favorite photo from Egypt. I was wandering the sanctuary area within the Temple of Horus in Edfu, Egypt. This area in ancient times would have been quite dark and only available to the priests of the temple.

If you see a group of them, its likely a band of females, as males are solitary. We saw many bands of them, and they were very curious, coming right up to us. They kind of remind me of more active raccoons, who are
Portland's Lan Su Chinese Garden is a beautiful place to check out on your visit to the city. Beyond the beautiful pagodas and variety of plants I was also amazed by the intricate stone pathways. They said that these stones were hand selected for placement, and were designed to be able to walk barefoot in meditation. The juxtaposition of the smooth river rocks and flat stones would give you a different feeling as you walk. Each area of the garden has its own stone designs. And will have a different feeling depending on the time of year, lighting, and how
On a cold evening in February, after a long day of work, I found myself wandering the downtown area of Toronto. I had needed to take a break and get some air before coming back and finishing up a project for work. But most everything was closed except for bars & clubs. So instead I wandered towards the tall glowing spire of the CN Tower. Usually I do a lot of planning for a trip, but this trip was just for work and I had only found out about it a few days earlier. So my knowledge of what to do in
