Nice to see an older in person military parade.
Nice collection of Chinese chess pieces.
That Ganeesh statue, very nice find.
I was hoping to see some CNY celebrations,, but even I didn't go to anything in my local.
Hard to photograph, but I love to see the dancing Dragons.
.... Anyway, with that, Take it away RDWP

Thanks Terry! Good shots folks, a nice variety. And interesting topic.

This was one of the few times I've made my own egg rolls, and they turned out OK. And, yes, that dog did enjoy an udon noodle or two.
