Geometry can be such a challenge

Normally, I never post photos of people on the Internet, especially my own family. However, last night, I was looking for a certain photo and happened to come across this very old one of my son, taken so many years ago. We were living in Borneo (Far East) at the time, which was where my son was born, and his Dad, who loved Math, was working on a Math Degree in his spare time - for fun. Many years later, he finally got his Degree. My son, like most people, never felt the same way about Math. Anyway, every time I see this picture, it always makes me smile, so I thought I would add something totally different to my photostream this morning. I spent ages on trying to adjust the colour from the original (which is not the photo seen here), but in the end, I gave up.

Happy Chinese New Year

My son was born in Seria, Brunei, Borneo "MANY" years ago, where we lived for three and a half years. Population is a mix of Malays and Chinese. Every year, I look forward to seeing the design for the new Chinese New Year postage stamps for Canada. I reckon they are some of the most beautiful stamps produced in Canada each year - too bad they can't design such spectacular stamps for other occasions, too! The bright red and the raised gold look good together. Chinese New Year begins on January 23rd and Steven's birthday is on January 25th, but sometimes I combine the two for a Flickr post. Thanks once again, fd, for creating the Motivator program : )
