Beautifully colored photos of the pond. I also really like the trees in #5 and #6. Quite unusual and striking.
Thank you Ellen - these trees remind me a bit of the Arbutus or Madrona trees up here along the coast in the Pacific North West.

What a fantastic set Joe!! I have to say the first thing that really caught my eye in #2 was the face in the rock! Or maybe my imagination just ran wild....
That bird image is really special!! Birder or not, you nailed it!

Thanks Rob - and I have to congratulate you on a very strong set of imagination - I actually had to get Susan up here to confirm to me what I sort of guessed, that yes, there is sort of a face there - wouldn't have seen it without you mentioning it. It is great to see that we all can see different things in some haphazardly captured elements! I guess I was concentrating too much on the "fingerprint" quality of the water reflections. Glad to hear that you also liked my bird capture!

Interesting and attractive set of images, Joe! The 5th photo almost looks like an abstract. That bird does NOT look happy. Did you step on the its foot?

Thanks John - I never thought about it, but you are right with number 5. As to the bird: Oh no, I sure hope that I did not step on its foot - it probably was just annoyed that a "gwai lo" ("foreign ghost" - that's what some Chinese call Western people) would dare to enter its territory!?!

My wife is Chinese from Taiwan. She and I have traveled extensively in China, 12 trips. Your photos allow me to revisit those areas and I look forward to your post each day. Please keep ‘em coming.

Thank you Jt for following our trip through Sichuan and your kind words - glad to hear that you enjoy reviewing the photos and rekindling your memories from your past trips. My trip numbers to China are in the same magnitude, probably yet a bit higher. Besides doing this posting, I have been working over the past months at reconstructing our trip record, I call it TripTrak which lists all our trips since I was a little kid. I have all the info, but not necessarily in good order, including I lost count of the number of times we visited a country, so I am reestablishing this - I am stuck in 2005 now and by that time I had visited China 5 times, with many more to come.
Interesting that your wife is from Taiwan - I worked there in the 1960's and visited it the last time in November 2019, just before the pandemic hit. I will eventually do an album on this Taiwan trip, but that's years in the future - if you are interested I do have a few pictures of Taiwan in what I call my "2019 Trips - Interim Selection" album, showing the few pictures I worked on to select a final two of these for my 2020 annual calendar. If you are interested, you can find this album by accessing my link below, then click on the tab "Albums-Chronological" on the top, this particular album is the second listing from the top. Click on the link "Short", the album starts out with pictures of Switzerland and various other locations, the last 25 pictures or so are my short selection on Taiwan, just for the calendar selection, not otherwise representative at all. When you see the collage of pictures, you can click on a picture and it will open full-screen and provides a brief description in the panel at right, which can be toggled off/on with the small "i" in a circle when hovering over the picture.

Pictures of Sichuan will come for a long while yet, I am particularly looking forward to showing the wonderful autumn colors and reflections in the Five-Flower-Lake in a couple of days, I am probably overdoing it with the quantity of images I am showing but I just couldn't help it, the scenery was just too spectacular.
