Many of you do such beautiful work, and well all of you! I wish I knew Photoshop Elements better, so I could show you my fine work with my DSLR cameras. I sent one home with Jundo when he visited about five years ago.

No matter how much zazen we do, poor people do not become wealthy, and poverty does not become something easy to endure.

Just a wicked sweet looking Bug... fun fact, in Brazil, VW Bugs are called Fusca (foo-ska) or Fusquinha (foo-ski-nyah) the -inha is a diminutive ending

As May ends, here's the Maibaum/Maypole which was erected in the first week of May in the small town in Germany where I live.

Wanted to test a Revuenon 135mm lens on my good old Canon EOS30 film camera. Had some expired ORWO Pan 200 black and white film still in the camera.

Had some Brazilian food the other day. A rare find in Texas.

Fried bananas, fried polenta and cheese bread are as Brazilian as feijoada. With a cold bear: nothing more Brazilian. Lovely meal!
Thank you, Jishin and Bayamo

Yes, good thing that most Buddhists (outside China) are not strict vegetarians.
Tsukuba Chris and I headed to a new German pub here in Tsukuba yesterday for a couple of beers (in moderation, although that German Hefeweizen Hell and Alt combination did almost push the line on that!) and a couple of "something"wurst, whatever the below is (sorry, after the Hefeweizen Hell, the memory was slipping). It was good. Chris and I both biked there, about a 40 minute ride from my house. The ride home was a little harder than the ride to get there.

Looks like a standard bratwurst....but what's that red stuff? Ketchup? Here in Germany, the "standard" condiment is mustard.
About beer: whatever you do, avoid the beers with the word "Doppelbock"...these are at a minimum 8% alcohol and will definitely make you drive someone else's Maserati parked next to the bike you originally rode on .
