HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009. Pasadena

FELIZ 2009.

CENA DE FIN 2008.

Para terminar el año que mejor que cenando.
Celebrando éxitos, metas alcanzadas, sueños realizados
y por que no, recordando fracasos, tristezas, amores y
desamores. Pero llenos de optimismo para dar comienzo
a este nuevo año.
Gracias a todos mis amigos que durante
este tiempo me acompañaron.

ROSE PARADE 2009.

Pasadena CA

Por la mañana del día primero si vives en Pasadena,
No te puedes perder la oportunidad de ver en vivo y
a todo color el tradicional desfile de la Rosas en Colorado Boulevard.
Así que desvelados con frío y un poco de hambre,
sentémonos a disfrutar dos horas de carrozas llenas de
color y alegría, enmarcadas con miles de flores naturales.

CARNE ASADA.

Y para dar por terminado el primer día de este año nuevo
después de no dormir por casi 24 horas,
una carne asada por la tarde no cae nada mal.
Buen provecho y feliz año 2009.

NAVIDAD EN PASADENA.

PERSHING SQUARE - Downtown on Ice.

If you're looking for world-class skating, this is the place.
This is right smack dabb middle in an unsavory area across
the street from the pershing square

redline stationThe ice skating area...

which is just like a huge square
BOX elevated up a bit it seems.I wouldn't want to skate

hereSounds real clubby...and wooden when the
skaters are trying to skate around
-Leagues of highly uncoordinated people grasping the
walls for dear life and occasionally falling directly
in front of someone going full speed?

OK, so it's not the best place to go in town.
But for what it is, it's excellent entertainment.

when 1st arriving downtown & another after leaving the art walk...
they are preparing for a concert of some sort this
weekend on a huge stage beside the rink.

Most of the skaters there can't skate...

and just CLINGto the sides of the rails.

Lots of security around the rink area I noticed

would seem cool for a group of friends.

YES WE CAN!

YES WE CAN – BARACK OBAMA. Music video

Congratulations, Mr. President. -Lyrics-

It was a creed written into the founding
documents that declared the destiny of a nation. Yes we can. It was whispered
by slaves and abolitionists as they blazed a trail toward freedom. ...

JULIHO's B-DAY.

Feliz cumpleaños!

privilegio que tengo de ser tu papá.

Tu ‘apa Manuel.

"ALIVE" EXHIBITION.

“Alive” is not only beautiful pictures of animals.
It is also about our lifestyles, with facts and figures,
and presents the paths we should follow in the future.
We are all responsible for our planet. It is up to each
and every one of us to realize that we must act by
taking some simple and obvious measures.
Let us all adopt more meaningful everyday gestures.

Now is the time!

Like numerous animals, this caterpillar native to Central America uses different strategies of defence: bright colours for warning and sting cells for attack! When it stings it causes severe irritations on human skin. The saddleback caterpillar measures almost 25mm and feeds on different plants. After several weeks of life as a caterpillar, it transforms into a butterfly... becoming much less colourful!

Few insects are as popular with the general public as the seven-spotted ladybird. The beautiful red black-spotted carapace, however, hosts a ferocious predator of aphids. This is why this bug is a precious ally for all gardeners wishing to protect their plantations without using any pesticides.

The Chinstrap Penguins, assembled on this blue iceberg, feel completely at home in this environment. When not laying eggs or breeding, they cross the icy seas of Antarctica looking for their favorite food, hunting for their usual diet of fish, squid, crustaceans and shellfish. They can dive up to 250 meters in depth for almost twenty minutes.

Caterpillars are among the insects that achieve complete metamorphosis. Their lifecycle includes four different states: egg, caterpillar, pupa or nymph and finally butterfly. This caterpillar from Peru is covered with prickles that protect against predators such as birds, reptiles, small mammals. There are more than 5.000 species of butterflies in Europe.
