Would you eat cicadas?
Dare ya.
They have the protein of six eggs, I’m told.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Close Up
1. Each week, we’ll provide a theme for creative inspiration. You take photographs based on your interpretation of the theme, and post them on your blog (a new post!) anytime before the following Friday when the next photo theme will be announced.
2. To make it easy for others to check out your photos, title your blog post “Weekly Photo Challenge: (theme of the week)” and be sure to use the “postaday″ tag.
3. Follow The Daily Post so that you don’t miss out on weekly challenge announcements, and subscribe to our newsletter – we’ll highlight great posts. Add Media photos from each month’s most popular challenge.

What Does This Mean?
I’m not sure what this sign on campus really means. The translation seems poor.

Portrait
I imagine this woman as being from Xinjiang, where I traveled last week. While many of the women I saw there wore a lot of bling and glitz, this woman is more down to earth. Perhaps she’s from the countryside, I think.

Travel Theme: Land Meets Water
Ailsa of Where’s My Backpack? invites bloggers to post photos on a weekly theme. This week it’s “Land meets Water.” I’ve posted a photo of Jinan’s biggest body of water, Daming Lake. The Chinese like to define and control water with concrete so the meeting is with a wall.
I love the Chinese bridges like the one above.
If you want to join the fun, it’s simple. Just follow these guidelines:
- Create your own post and title it Travel theme: Land meets Water
- Include a link to this page in your post so others can find it too.
- Get your post in by next Thursday, as the new travel theme comes out on Friday
- Don’t forget to subscribe to keep up to date on the latest weekly travel themes. Sign up via the email subscription link in the sidebar or RSS!
