Tsutsuki

Not sure what this plant is called in English, or even Korean for that matter. But in Japanese it's tsutsuki. And it has something to do with the Harvest Moon... one of those random things I'll probably never forget... and never really have the right facts on either.

Happy Valentine's!

Gwanghwamun in Winter

Morning Rush Hour

This shot isn't great, but I took it while driving on the freeway. I actually didn't mind this commute too much - the morning sunrise was nice. On the other hand, my average speed was just 10 mph. Yes, 10 miles per hour. As in, my one hour commute to work took me to the other side of the city, but that's only about 10 miles away!

63 Building

This was taken while driving to work one day. I wish I could stop and compose the picture properly. The sunrise is gorgeous and reflects off the golden building. One of the relaxing pleasures of the morning drive.

Catching the Smile

It's hard to catch a natural smile - unless you're working with the happiest baby ever. Some friends and I were hanging out after a wedding. Congrats to Sam and his bride, Sujin, pictured here with her new little cousin. 

Foot Bathing

 Not the best shot, but it'll do. In winter, I often soak my feet in hot water in the evenings, especially if I'm sitting at a computer. It keeps me warm without heating the whole room - and it's quite relaxing.
