Hey, how are you doing down there? Nice view from up here.

Bamboo is what it's all about, but it's cold out here!!

But I do love fresh bamboo that I get to cut myself.

Well I got myself up this tree, now what am I supposed to do?

Awh, come on , you know I'm really cute don't you.

See you later.

Okay, I'm a red panda, not related to those black and white guys, but I live in China and eat bamboo just like they do. And, I'm pretty cute too if you ask me.

I may look like a cute kitty, but don't mess with me.

Cause I'm big

and I run fast

and I can jump far

I can sneak up on you when I want to

And I can pretend I'm not looking

or just entirely disinterested

See, you think I'm not looking at you

We're just nice big cats

Until we decide we've a real interest in something

Bye now

Lights on the castle at the Harbin Ice festival. A multitude of constantly changing colors in the cold.

The moon and the palace framed between two tall pillars of ice.

This was not a small castle, here I've included people to give you a sense of scale and size

Not every structure was blue or red. Here green predominates

You can't leave China without a quick trip to the great wall.

Even the peacocks were cooperative with their displays this trip.
