England-Scotland border

We drove approximately two hours , and we passed through a wood that was the Whitelee Moor National Nature Reserve. As we cross into Scotland, we stopped here to take pictures at the border maker which is in the Whitelee Moore, and wild goats can be seen on the border.

Whitelee Moor is one of Britain's most important upland nature reserves.

Shakespeare's Birthplace

This is the house where William Shakespeare was born, grew up and played.
(This is a restored 16th-century half-timbered house situated in Henley Street, Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, England)

He ate meals in the hall and he slept and dreamt in these rooms. Shakespeare also spent the first five years of married life in this house with his new wife, Anne Hathaway.

York Minster

Stopped by to see this huge place, a very old church.
York Minster is a beautiful and imposing Gothic cathedral in York, northern England.
The Minster was built in 1330. Standing in the cathedral makes you feel connected with the past.
The Majesty of the Cathedral is beyond words, it dominates York's skyline.

Cambridge

We visited Cambridge back in August. As we had only one day to explore the city,  we jump on the Cambridge river tour to see the best of the Cambridge. Then, We  walked around Cambridge's lovely streets and admired the fairy-tale architecture of its colleges. Oh, I wish I could have chance to study here, instead we took lots of photos as souvenir :)

The Cambridge skyline is one of the most picturesque, and architecturally stunning in the world. The stretch of the river Cam that winds through the college back holds some of the most breath-taking and awe-inspiring scenery in the entire city. The college backs are decorated with 9 famous colleges, 8 beautiful colleges, and stories from over one thousand years of history.

A very merry Christmas

May the melody and spirit of the holidays warm your home with love, joy and peace.

under the redwoods

“The redwoods, once seen, leave a mark or create a vision that stays with you always. No one has ever successfully painted or photographed a redwood tree. The feeling they produce is not transferable. From them comes silence and awe. It's not only their unbelievable stature, nor the color which seems to shift and vary under your eyes, no, they are not like any trees we know, they are ambassadors from another time.”                                                    -John Steinbeck

let's take our hearts for a walk in the woods and listen to the magic whisper of the old trees..

If you 've seen one redwood tree, you've seen them all.

-Ronald Reagan

hiking at first day of winter

We went to hiking for celebrating the first day of winter. This is a great way to get outside, exercise, and enjoy nature :)

 On a hike, the day pass with wind, sun , and ocean, it is just so beautiful.
