You're always visiting such interesting places! I wish I could tag along! This is a great collection of buddha photos and the composition of the last shot is incredible! I like that zen saying a lot. I'm hearing the sound of silence and it's very refreshing.

I'm loving your Budah pictures BUT I'm not a real photographer, so I'm just ditto-ing what Bentley's Photoblog said.

BTW I have been wondering how you came up with the name "Hey Harriet" for your blog. Is she your mom? A dear friend? Just curious.
Have a great day!

Just popping back to share a zen saying I found on another blog today. "One moon shows in every pool, in every pool the one moon"

Must be the day for zen sayings! :)

I had to pop over here first when I saw the header Chung Tian and as I've guessed..it's a temple name, thinking it cant be your middle name hehe!! As usual, T - I love your Ttv. You know, I am doing a reno and a lousy one too on my kid's room, trying to turn into my own space (and locking it too...as the kids just love to rummage everything..just kidding :) and I've framed all my Ttvs ..waiting for the room to be repainted. am struggling with the wallpaper..and I don't know when it will finish, hopefully by 2010..hehe..If I am not mistaken, I think the sculpture is a laughing Buddha. So peaceful.....hugs for the week/love.m

Tracy, the Buddha never looked so ethereal. That's quite a set of photos, each one is so heartfelt. You always seem to connect with your subject matter, that's a real gift.

these are lovely Tracey - I admire your photography so much, you are very clever!
Hope you enjoyed celebrating Queenie's birthday today ... wouldn't it be nice to celebrate your birthday twice, once on the actual day and again at another time! I guess you have to be a monarch or something for that privilege..
enjoy your week :)
