I am saying good-bye to my Pentax K20D which went broken with shutter and curtain locked up while taking pictures the day before Halloween. I have sent him away to Pentax for servicing. I am hoping that there are some magical hands to bring it back to live. It has a needle object sticking out of the mirror chamber. It is an awful feeling seeing my camera with no pulse but a whining noise that repeated every few seconds. It is like a dying friend in my hands. I know I write this story with a personal touch and perhaps I exaggerate a bit more than I will like to admit. One thing I am sure is that I will miss my buddy.

Came one morning after light shower and cold weather in California, I saw these water droplets reflecting the morning warm sun rays and I couldn't resist but to take snapshots for the true beauty in nature. The gems in life can be as close as our backyards. We just need to slow down or take a brief pause of a moment to see the true beauty that the Almighty have crafted in our daily lives.
