Two weeks ago I went to Chinatown with my friend Angela and found several small art galleries in downtown San Francisco. I saw this and couldn't resist asking my friend to take a picture ;-)

No kidding...
Leos do not want to be like everybody else, and take a lot of pride in being who they are. They love attention and strive for recognition and praise of others. Most Leos have a very strong character and are very independent; this allows them to be great leaders. A Lion is a very proud creature and never wants to be left in the background, he always wants to shine and be appreciated by others.
Generosity and warm heartedness are some of Leo’s best features, which are pretty easy go get if the big cat it is shown some love and loyalty. When it comes to family, Leos are usually very responsible and protective. They will try to provide the best they can to their loved ones, however in return they will expect love and loyalty. On the negative side, Leos can sometime be bossy and over-proud, which will stop them from seeing things as they are and stubbornly insist on their own point of view. To tackle this situation, all you have to do is show your Leo friend some respect (and maybe love) and his/her warm heart will melt and start thinking rationally once again.
People under this zodiac are usually quite materialistic. They like to live big and spend a lot. However at the same time they can be quite hard working, but they must see the benefits of such hard work. Most Leos have big dreams, however those dreams are nothing unless there is someone who will appreciate it. Though on the outside Leo individual might look strong and self-confident, on the inside he/she very much depends on affirmation, love and recognition of others.
Many Leos like to perceive the world as if it revolves around them, however they often fail to recognize that it isn’t so, and that sometimes they are not part of the picture.
- Laugh at their jokes
- Be fun and entertaining
- Wear expensive, branded items
- Be honest and respectful
The following is what you should not do, if you want a Leo person to like you:
- Be disloyal
- Lack confidence
- Criticize them - NEVER do this to a Leo
Quote from a book
"When you are a foreigner, you can't be your humble self anymore. I am my nation, my place of birth. I am everything except me."

"Ice Skaters"
Ice Skaters, by Benn Mitchell, 1950-51?
I don't know why I am particularly drawn to this picture of skaters. Maybe because I don't know how to skate? Or maybe because their shadows are the same size as they are. I also enjoy the contrast of dark and light. I guess that is it.
