Xingfu means happy and blessed in Chinese. Even though 2014, the year I started this blog, was a busy and, at times, difficult year that is the word I thought of for this space. Mama not because I have many children but because I seem to fall into a caregiving role. Sometimes I feel like Mama to the world.
The name XingfuMama means Happy Mama with undertones of being blessed.
I’m still playing with this seed head of clover that caught my eye the other morning…and with black and white.
For Cee’s Black and White Photo Challenge: Close-ups or Macros.
I didn’t notice when I was taking this close up of the clover seed head that right behind it was a tree of similar shape and color.

The Cathedral San Isidro in a suburb of Buenos Aires.
The Forbidden City has a plethora of examples of shaping the experience of seeing. In this case the shape is round. I took this picture because I felt like I was looking backwards through a spyglass.
For Becky of WInchester’s July Squares: Perspective.
Two different views from the middle of the same road (but at different intersections, and in different years) near where my sun used to live in Weifang, China. Because the street was so wide I often wound up having to wait for another walk light in the middle.
Goose trivia: a group of geese is called a “gaggle” if they are on land or in water, in flight they are called a skein, team or wedge.
I was amazed at the size of Tianamen square. The people look small and the lines of lamp posts and fountains marching off to the large buildings that look small in the distance. Appropriately (since “tian” means sky) the sky also helps to give perspective, the one thing big enough to stand up to its magnitude.
