Nature inspires me with its big variety of beauty, from landscapes, living things, changing seasons, to the planets and galaxies in the universe.
Nature gives birth to all living organisms, with their magical ways of repeating themselves. Nature provides us with infinity materials to create things.
The elderlies and the dogs are the living treasures of the village. Whenever I visit a village, I will certainly welcome by dogs at the gate. Dogs are human loyal friends. They stick to human, play with human, and without being paid, they strive to protect the village from strangers. In a village, I will meet elderly villagers who stay around their houses, doing light works and taking care of their home. Wrinkles on their smiling faces reveal they have had a hard life and experiences. They might have retired and yet they know everything of the village where they were born. Elderlies are the wise people who teach and share their knowledge with their younger generations to help the village survive through time...
