weekly photo challenge: express yourself
To show what “express yourself” means to us?
We thought it was almost impossible to find a photo that showed playfulness and young at heart. Then we found this photo we had taken while we were travelling which is also a big part of who we are.
Give you one guess where this photo was taken…
Interestingly, when we look up the symbolic meaning for the panda, the search returns with words such as peaceful, positive outlook on life, gentle strength, caring and compassion. These are values we try to live our lives by.
And we will let you in on a little secret…. one of the nicknames we have for one another is in fact: Panda Boy and Panda Girl 😉
Have a great weekend, everyone!
Any comments are appreciated!

Too too cute! I saw pandas in Hong Kong but that was years ago so would love to go and visit some again. They look just like little toddlers playing with their toys 🙂

They do look like little chubby kids playing. Soooo cute and their expressions are just priceless!
Maybe a trip to China is on the cards for you too?? 😉

This picture is so cute! The pandas look like they are having lots of fun! I have yet to see a real panda – I guess I should soon make a trip to the Taipei Zoo or maybe China!
January 27, 2015 at 7:49 pm
They are soo adorable – hope you do get to see one soon 🙂

I am guessing that you took the picture at a zoo, probably in China. Am I right?
January 26, 2015 at 8:46 pm
Lynda – you are RIGHT on the money there 🙂 Definitely China and definitely a zoo! Hope you are well.

This is so cute it made me laugh so hard! Aww how sweet these Pandas are and pretty smart too. They know how to have fun 🙂
January 25, 2015 at 6:28 pm
Pandas just look so cuddly, don’t they? They are so cute but apparently can get quite aggressive too…. we find that hard to believe 😉
January 26, 2015 at 6:45 am
They have their sharp animal instincts 🙂
January 25, 2015 at 12:06 am
playful pandas
January 25, 2015 at 6:27 pm

January 25, 2015 at 6:31 pm
As one of the other comments… it looks like one is sulking and the other has his arms crossed and frowning.. LOL 😉
January 24, 2015 at 8:26 pm
I absolutely love this picture! Too cute. 🙂
January 25, 2015 at 6:31 pm
Thanks Angela 🙂 Glad you enjoyed it!
January 24, 2015 at 5:43 pm
It looks to me like one has its arms crossed in frustration at the other one sulking. Good take on the theme.
January 25, 2015 at 6:29 pm
YES!! That is totally what we think too…. they are being quite expressive, or so it seems. 🙂
January 24, 2015 at 5:39 pm
Aaah, what a pair of cuties! Oh, and the pandas are pretty cute too!
January 25, 2015 at 6:33 pm

Pandas are always a pleasure to see. I have visited them at the zoo a couple of times. The first time I saw them was at the San Diego Zoo in California and I brought home a stuffed panda with me, that still sets on my bookshelf in the computer room. But then, I like all bears!
January 25, 2015 at 6:35 pm
Bears are CUTE! One thing we really want to witness is a bear in its natural environment. We would also love to see polar bears as well 🙂
February 2, 2015 at 4:16 pm
I iwas fortunate enough to see two cinnamon colored bears playing along the road in the edge of the woods in Colorado. It got me excited!
February 4, 2015 at 8:00 am
Oooh…. tooo cute! One day, it will be our turn 😉
January 24, 2015 at 9:32 am
What a perfect submission to the theme! I love it.
January 25, 2015 at 6:35 pm
Heheeh – they are such cuties!! We want to just give them a big hug 🙂 Hope you are enjoying the weekend!
January 24, 2015 at 9:29 am
Cute, Panda Girl and Panda Boy… 🙂 –Curt
January 25, 2015 at 6:33 pm
LOL – no longer a secret now, hey?! Have a happy Sunday.
January 24, 2015 at 8:58 am
