sansanparrots. Get yours at bighugelabs.com/flickr


I am an American-born Asian woman who loves to live life to the fullest every day.

I live in Silicon Valley with (in no special order) my animals (Kaley corgi, 14 parrots, 1 uromastyx lizard, 2 tortoises and a turtle), traveling, photography, my SO Dan, and our toddler, Jake, now almost two.

As I've become more fascinated with social media, you can follow me on Twitter as @circusmaster, @kaleycorgi, @jakechow and @parrotweet (okay, okay -- I know, too much). I'm also on Facebook.
Here on Flickr, I have seen the wide world of corgis open through pictures -- in my corgi photo group, Corgis of the World Unite and my corgi video group, Corgis on the Move.

Kaley and I work as a team on our website, www.sansanpups.com . She is always my model, my inspiration and I look to her to get my idea for the day.

She and I are also a team in dog agility where we do agility trials in the Bay Area with AKC, USDAA and occasionally CPE.

I help Jake write his own blog, jakechow.com/wp/ on the trials and tribulations of modern toddling.

If you love parrots as I do, visit my parrot site, www.sansanparrots.com. The parrot world is so vast, maybe that was the reason I could not stop at having only 1 or 2 or even 3 parrots. My flock includes 14 beautiful birds.

I fill my days sharing what I can about what I love, and forever learning and being stimulated by what others share with me. My motto is "life is for sharing -- life is to forever learn and grow". I hope with my pictures and words, I can give you something to take with you, to share and grow with me, and if nothing more, to put a smile on your face.


PS. You can also catch me on:

Please note -- If you want to use my pictures, I'll probably grant permission if you ask me first. They've been used in publications around the world. Statr for Flickr daily graph

    "When I was living in an apartment and not permitted to have a pet, it was Sandra's daily pictures of the beautiful Kaley Corgi that convinced me that it was time to have a dog in my life again. I had to move to make that happen, but I now have a beautiful girl of my own--Missy the Shih Tzu. Sandra's photostream is a chronicle of her animals, her beautiful boy Jake and always, always her love of life."

    "I love seeing all of Sandra's pictures on Flicker. They are all done very professional looking. Her many subjects are very interesting & entertaining.

    Plus I love all the fun captions. So many she writes perfectly match the picture.

    I enjoy seeing Kaley Corgi in action. I am impressed with Sandra's cotinuing to try harder & yet enjoy the agility runs with her dog.

    I enjoy watching Jake grow up right before my eyes thru Sandra's camera lense. Such a darling little boy!

    Her birds are beautiful to see. I want to see San Francisco someday & Sandra's pictures have given me the opportunity to see the city up close before I get there.

    I thank Sandra for sharing her great pictures with me & all who take the time to see them. They make me smile.

    She has been very helpful to me @ Flickr teaching me how to make tags & I appreciate her comments to my pictures.
    I thank her for being my special pal."

    "Whenever I look at Sandra's photostream, which is every day, I feel a wave of happiness. Sandra takes pleasure in the smallest moments of life, which are really the biggest. She not only knows how to capture these moments in fantastic pictures and add absolutely perfect and usually hilarious captions, but how to live. This is what comes through above all and what I treasure most."

    "I love Sandra's stream. Her photos bring me the important things in her life. I know I can always find Kaley, Jake, Dan and the rest of her family being themselves and enjoying life.

    Keep up the good work with the agility, that's going to come in handy once Jake starts walking. LOL

    Thanks for being a great Flickr pal!! :-)"

    "Kaley corgi and Rani macaw are two of my favorite Flickr creatures. I love the way they play together, and Sandra's pictures of them. In fact, her whole flock is fun to keep an eye on!"

    "Sandra has a wonderful Internet presence. Her pictures and full of action and fun! She shares her daily adventures of motherhood and is kind enough to invite us over to see her family. I really enjoy Sandra’s Flickr page and other Internet sites. She’s so active in so many ways it is hard to keep up with her!"
