All branches of the Military were honored by the Artist; and the large military collection were all sculpted from foam, then bronzed and painted.

We wanted a close up picture of the weeders; because we laughed when we saw this, and remembered how our kids complained about weeding our small yard.

A close up at the Taichi Arch by Ju Ming |
Another sculpture of the same series. |
As a tribute to the military, Ju Ming has completed and displayed more than 300 Armed Forces sculptures in his museum.
|
There were several displays of the Zipper Series. . |
The tram took us to the top of mountain. |
At the top of the mountain the vegetation and rainy weather reminded us of the Seattle area. |
Through the clouds and rain we could still see the beauty. |
All the kites were very unusual, and hand made. Bob was allowed by the son of the owner of the collection to take only 5 pictures. This kite was a hawk carrying its prey, which looked like a cat. |
We have since learned that the Chinese invented kites some 2400 years ago. |
But she was still TOO CUTE! |
Grand entry to the National Palace Museum |
We can only take pictures outside the Museum |
As we left the Museum Bob took a picture of the grand entrance . The Zhisan Gardens (Palace Museum Gardens) are to the left. |
This is the way to see the Zoo. |
Want some carrots for lunch? |
We were surprised to have a group of LDS single adult sisters run up to us at the Zoo and give us hugs. The sister in the center of the picture works in the Temple on Saturdays. |
It seemed like the Zebra was posing perfectly
just for Bob to take this picture.

This precious little child had on a fur "PANDA" hat in 100 degree temperature, but the heat did not curtail the happiness. |
This picture reminded me of days gone bye. |
This sign says it all. |
Now you can see the bigger picture---this is the monkey area! |
Sister Horner wanted to show me the baby shrimp that she had eaten which made her very sick. When her husband selected the baby shrimp for her at a Chinese Buffet he thought it was sprouts. |
Pictured here are different types of little tiny fish for sale. I think they are precooked, and you eat several whole fish at a time in a bowl. Maybe like our grandchildren eat cereal.
|
Hanging in the back of this shop are cooked chickens with feet.
I am so glad that the chickens are covered with plastic, but what about the refrigeration? No wonder the Chinese are so slim!
