Cloisonne
Image by Xiao Niao @ SK
Cloisonne, names as enamelware, have originated in Beijing of Yuan Dynasty and prevailed during the Jingtai period of Ming Dynasty. It’s typically called "Blue of Jingtai" as blue was the dominant colour used for enameling.
Coloisonne ware was only used for the royal families before. It was the symbol of authority and status.
Coloisonne is the everlasting, art and loved by the people around the world.

Krista Lundgren, #ScienceWoman
Image by USFWS Mountain Prairie
March is Women’s History month, and we want to highlight some of the amazing women here at U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on our social media sites.
Name: Krista Lundgren
Title: Wildlife Refuge Specialist
Duty Station: Kulm Wetland Management District, North Dakota
Where did you go to school or military branch? Univ. of North Dakota (UND) and North Dakota State Univ. (NDSU)
What did you study? Fisheries and Wildlife Biology, Visual Arts, and Natural Resources Management
How did you get interested in conservation? My roots came in my childhood. I grew up on a small farm and ranch in a family that valued soil and habitat conservation and used hunting and fishing to put meals on our table. I think my path to a career in wildlife sciences was sealed in 2nd grade upon meeting a wildlife biologist, one of my father’s elk hunting companions, at his hand-built log cabin home in Montana.
What’s your favorite species and why? I don’t have a favorite. I think my interests change with the seasons and what’s around me. Right now I’ve been having a blast trying to photograph the snowy owls in my area. They aren’t extremely rare, but they’re an unpredictable visitor during only some winters.

With my friend Paul, I spend five days in Osaka, Japan. The trip provided much refreshment, and excitement, not to mention many challenges. It was my first visit to the country, and, I feel, it certainly won’t be my last, as there are still many places left to see, and so many new things to learn.
We had several destinations highlighted on our itinerary, the foremost of which was Universal Studios. We spend an entire day there, going on rides and more often than not, queuing for them. The excruciating wait times were worth it, however, for such exhilarating fun, especially on the Hollywood Roller Coaster, my personal favorite. The next morning we followed up that successful endeavor with a trip to the Himeji Castle, a place which came highly recommended by my colleague, whose succinct description of the heritage site was, "awesome." Indeed, as a history buff, I enjoyed walking the storied grounds and climbing through the maze-like interior of the keep which was designed not so much to comfortably house the royal family as to confound the invading enemy. The castle is a must-visit. Other attractions of note include the Osaka Aquarium, and the Tennoji Zoo; both teemed with animals of every shape and size. We also at length ventured into several shopping districts inside of which were myriad stores, selling all sorts of fashion and gadgetry, countless restaurants and several gambling parlors – the Japanese, it seems, love their slot machines as much as the Hong Kong Chinese love their horse racing. Lest I forget, we frequented several video arcades to play the latest and greatest games; Paul played well, while I more often than not got 0wn3d. There is a lot to do in Japan.
Japanese culture, of which I’ve heard so much, really is distinct and separate from other Asian cultures. Their patterns of action and their peculiar artifacts certainly aren’t the same as those which feature prominently in Hong Kong. For one thing, the MTR culture was more civilized and less stressful: people queued up for trains and let passengers alight first before permitting themselves to board; cellphones never rang and cabin cars were as quiet as bedrooms at midnight; and to imagine all of these people enforce their norms without public service announcements, without any coddling, conspicuous signs – that’s amazing. What proved difficult was trying to find a garbage can. It was easier to find a vending machine, from which one could purchase a variety of drinks or cigarettes, than a bin in which to dispose of these delectable, perishable goods.
As for the general citizenry, they were most accommodating and hospitable, with several individuals going out of their way to help Paul and I find our way around the dense sprawl of the city. Language wasn’t a concern despite our limited Japanese; amazingly enough, our comfort was their concern! I won’t forget their selfless service, as one day, I hope, I’ll be able to return the favor. That the girls were quite attractive and that I demonstrated a propensity to ask attractive girls for directions go without saying; however, I understand now that their sexiness and sophistication stem not from comely faces but coherent attire. Rather than adorn themselves like a typical Mong Kok girl in a ridiculous neon rainbow palette, with jeans or unseemly spandex underneath dresses, skirts or other tops better left to stand alone, Japanese girls opt for more somber, sensible colors – black and cream-colored – and what’s more, they aren’t afraid to whip out the tasteful pantyhose or to show some skin, even. We had plenty of time to ogle the ladies, and to their credit, freezing temperatures weren’t enough to dissuade many of them from forsaking, icing their shorts, as we saw countless pairs being worn on the street. That’s what I call fashion professionalism!
Overall, Japan is a marvelous little land full of the eccentric, as well as the endearing. It was a fascinating place to explore, and I’m thankful that it was done in the company of my friend , with whom candor was not at a premium. We both learned a lot and look forward to the next trip!

One of the weirdly comforting parts of the pandemic, is walking the doggo on Friday nights, and seeing families with grown adult children sitting down for a meal or dessert or even just a drink, together.
It’s comforting knowing that even though I don’t have this, that other people do, and other people are taking advantage of it.
Things like this got lost before the pandemic, and I hope that this time is forcing those of us who don’t have these things, to figure out if they’re important to us or not. And if we do have them and they are important to us, that we go after them, and savor them, and hold them near and dear to our hearts.
This house usually has an elderly couple, whose poppies I’ve photographed for PoTD’s before, but I’ve never seen this many lights on in the house before. I was a bit concerned, until I saw them all sitting around this table, and I realized that everyone was probably (maybe, even…really) excited for this, and hope that they took advantage of seeing each other in person, sitting down together, and celebrating being in the same space/close proximity to each other.
Love!

7days:5 :: xmas-porridge :: julegrøt
Image by ~Merete
We have rice pudding (as shown from Denmark) for dessert on Christmas Eve. But first we make the rice porridge (risgrøt – Norway —made with rice with added vanilla, cooked with milk and served with cinnamon, sugar and butter. ) This year the Man made it before breakfast, so, very unusual, we had porridge for our first meal!
As is, I will later in the day be at my parents house for a new bowl of porridge, but this time with the almond hidden in it 🙂
Here we will have the big day/ night today, as Christmas Eve has the great food, family and open presents – traditions.
Happy Holiday to all!
