Dear all,
Wow, so many email messages, so little time! Thanks to BT and MC's excellent idea, I have the blog to thank for and to catch up on all the beautiful pictures and painting as well as music contributions. BT, I'm so glad you added the Playlist feature, what a thoughtful idea for sharing music. Love the song from Keith Urban (what a mane of hair!), as well as the cute one from Taylor Swift. That song is a favorite of my grand daughters, and I always play it on my iPod for them whenever they're in the car with me (albeit not very often, as they're in faraway CA) as a treat, so we can all sing along at the top of our lungs over and over w/o driving their parents crazy :-)
For C&W music fans and to add to BT's homage to the Texans, here's another song by Keith Urban (who's not Texan btw), a bit old but dreamy...
My favorite song (for the time being anyway) is the following

MC, your picture of Zhouzhuang is so pretty with its reflections of purple and blue boat roofs and green trees. Zhouzhuang is such a neat and pretty little town that any photos of its picturesque bridges, canals, boats, and houses are bound to be attractive (except when it's crowded by tourists, which seemed to this tourist to be all hours of the day!), but yours is truly artistic.
Thu Huong, your watercolors are so beautiful and elegant as always. I wish I could look at them all day, and am thinking of a way to make the seagull picture my (laptop) wallpaper...
BT, your Valentine contribution, Zoey's adorable pictures, is worthy of a Valentine's Day card. You should market it! And other friends' countless contributions, from TNS' peaceful backyard corner to Thuan's lush and lovely Japanese garden and a nice sunset here and there (Montreux, Huntington), all bring pleasure to this (woefully infrequent) reader. And Tuan really shows his talent with his drawings of the lovely queen-of-hearts CTT and Texan LH. Vous m'eblouissez tous chaque fois!
Herewith are my contributions toward the theme of the week, two old pictures from our trip to Hamilton Island in Queensland, Australia during Christmas 2008. Sorry, I can't choose, so forum friends please choose for me the one you like and make that my entry for the water theme.
Have a great Valentine's Day!

Hi Trang,
ReplyDeleteit is difficult to chose which one of your two photos I love better. They are equally beautiful. You captured so well in the first one, the spectacular sunset with its golden and blue color (it reminds me of the National Geographic picture of the sunset in VN that TNS shared with us this morning), and the serenity and dreamy feeling in the second picture of the beach.
Trang oi,
ReplyDeleteI posted both of your photos, I can't decide either :-) and I close my eyes and vicariously transport myself there coz it's grey and drizzling here in No Cal today . Thanks also for your nice comments and KU song.
Hugs,
BT
