Banyan trees cannot be contained. When they grow near another Banyan tree they merge together into one plant with both their branches and their roots joining together. They strengthen each other. So much we can learn from nature

Guest lecturing at CUHK but no lecture was given. Just a highly interactive conversation about education with a group of students studying education. #education #aiineducation #teaching #learning #edtech

I took a selfie with my grandson on the Dumbo ride at Hong Kong Disneyland. My son is adopting this five year old from Thailand after marrying his mom. We are thrilled to welcome them both into the family.

Look, my wife bought faucet condoms. They don’t prevent pregnancy but they will filter out dirt in your water. Our water is very clean but you can never be too careful.

A friend from Orlando posted this sunrise photo on Facebook. It's such a great shot I couldn't resist borrowing it to share here. Have great day!

The ducks in the mall are cute until they tell you to duck off. I’m not sure what happens on Duck Off Monday but I guess I will find out soon enough.

A rare rainbow in Hong Kong this morning. There was a faint one in the same spot and same time of day a couple of days ago. It seems someone is trying to send a message and was concerned it didn’t get through the other day. I am listening and hopeful that it is a good omen.

Happy Independence Day from Hong Kong. We do the best we can to feel American today. Got my Stars and Stripes shirt on eating a burger and fries with a chocolate shake. I don’t eat like this often so it feels special on a special occasion. Cheers!

On July 4, 1976, I was a teenager and played the drum in a fife and drum corp for the Bicentennial Independence Day celebration. It was in a small, rural town in Western Massachusetts. The whole town came out. A different time in America. The image is AI generated just to remember that day.

Lizards in Bangkok. That big monitor lizard was only about 6 feet away when we spotted him. The little one came right up to us when we were sitting by the pool. I enjoyed a wonderful day to celebrate my birthday with family. #travel #photography #Thailand #lizard

Turtle: before being cooked and after. This was my first time eating turtle, which is a delicacy in China. The meat was tasty but there were a lot of bones and shell to contend with. #travel #photography #China

This Peregrine Falcon put on a show for us at Devil’s Slide. He used the wind to hover just a few yards from us for about a minute before he turned and flew off.

Devil’s Slide in San Francisco. We had another beautiful sunny day although it was very windy along the cliffs. The geology is fascinating as much of the rock is striated almost vertically and there’s much variation in the stone. Ever color from white to black.

We watched this seagull balance on top of the other seagull for several minutes. The bottom bird seemed annoyed but tolerant. They did not mate, from what we could tell. I think they were rehearsing for America’s Got Talent #photography #travel #birds #seagull

I took this picture last night after turning the lights off in my apartment. The glow of the salt lamp created a cool silhouette of the plant. I’m not a photographer but I liked the effect. Picture taken with my iPhone. Unedited. #photography #lighting #flowers

I'm so surprised the three stooges (Vance, Witkoff, Kushner) couldn't come to an agreement with Iran. I wonder if Vance started the meeting demanding that Iran thank the US for not destroying their civilization. If you're too young to recognize the 3 stooges you should look them up. Very funny!

RIP Chuck Norris. Chuck Norris was the real deal. He held black belts in karate, taekwondo, Tang Soo Do, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and judo. After serving in the United States Air Force, he won numerous martial arts championships and later founded his own discipline, Chun Kuk Do.

"Your value is not defined only by what you are made of, but by how well you shape your potential into something extraordinary." @neildegrassetyson.com Saw this post on Facebook and just had to share. Quality education gives us the tools to shape our future.
This is a 1000-gram iron bar. In its raw form, it’s worth around $100.
If it’s turned into horseshoes, its value rises to about $250.
If it’s made into sewing needles, its value jumps to roughly $70,000.
If it’s crafted into watch springs and gears, it can be worth around $6 million.
And if it’s transformed into precision laser components, like those used in lithography, its value can reach $15 million.

Sometimes you just need to stop and take a picture. Such a beautiful blue sky in San Francisco today. Just passing through on our way back to Hong Kong.
