I'm about a month late with the celebration, but wanted to post one more Northern Cali snap. San Fran's Grant Avenue boasts more energy than stuffy ol' DC ever sees...except, of course, when the politicos are yammering about health care & such.
Just in case you didn't know, Chinese New Year falls in mid-February & 2010 is the Year of the Tiger. I was born in the Year of the Horse. According to the Chinese calendar, the horse "is associated with energy and is an indicator of happiness, success, and confidence. The person born in the year of the horse is often spirited, independent, skillful, cheerful and perceptive."
What animal honors your birth year?

This is a great pic! I was born in the Year of The Pig. I am loyal and stubborn.
I, too, am a Horse... it's beats being a horse's behind!
I had no idea I was full of energy, skillful and all that other stuff... who knew?
Thanks for dropping by my site...
Have a great one.
I was born in the year of the Rabbit. According to the ancient Chinese Lunar-Zodiac legend those born in the year of the Rabbit are romantic, talented, and successful.
Somehow I think they got me wrong.
I was born in the Year of the dog. No idea what it mean.
Thanks for stopping by my blog.
This picture has such old world charm. It looks like a faded old Kodak from the 1970;s that you found in an old shoe box. Just fabulous! by the way, we're Ruby Tuesday (virtual) neighbors.

Looks like Chinese New Year is great in San Fran! It's a much smaller affair over in Belfast.
I was born in the year of the Monkey and apparently we are clever, skillful, and flexible...I'd say I'm flexible (altho definately NOT in a yoga way!), but I'm not sure about the others!!
Thanks for stopping by my blog too! :)
This really cool and the photo is really beautiful. I was born in the year of the monkey apparently and would like to think it describes me perfectly! LOL!
hahaa, I'm a horse too! :)
Have a great day!

‘Frisco’s Chinatown
bedecked with paper lanterns—
Year of the Tiger
No ruby breakfast
I miss San Francisco so much!
But the best part is that while looking at this I know right on the other side of that street to the right is my favorite Italian restaurant ever...sigh.
Mine is the sheep: Those born in the Year of the Sheep are said to be charming, elegant and artistic, who like material comforts. A bit of a worrier they also have a tendency to complain about things.
Pretty dead on, lol!
Bella is the monkey and Thomas is the boar. Very cool!
I am an Ox.. Great shot.
My Ruby Tuesday
How festive!!
That photo is amazing. I want to go to there.
I'm too lazy to figure out what "Year of" animal I was born under. I'm an Aquarius though. bwahaha. I crack myself up.
Love the pic..and I think I am the year of the boar...very loyal. =)
I was born in the year of the horse too and I don't know if I believe what the chinese does but I guess I could tell I have all those that are enumerated above ^_^. The picture looks so festive! Happy Tuesday!
RT~What a deal
Happy Ruby Tuesday!
What a festive picture! I was born in the year of the dog...whatever that means :P
Dragon. Perfect fit.
Tiger here. Maybe my son will respect me more if I tell him. :-)
I just want to jump right into that picture and walk down that street with an egg roll in one hand and a camera in the other!
i'm not telling...you can tell a person's age if you know her sign. :) but great picture!
Nice shot of the festivities! I didn't make it into the City for the celebration...too bad! I was born in the year of the dog...perhaps I'm loyal and a good companion!?
I'm a puma, just kidding, I don't know 1968.
I'm a Dog. Woof woof!
I'm a Brown Earth Dog...Maybe with a kitty moon :)....There was a full moon for this year's Chinese New Year's SF parade down Grant.
