Fw: [MC74 and Friends] Theme of the Week - Transitions




Dear Hai Ba Chu Pho Nhom,

Attached is my (very late) entry for the Transitions theme. Wracking my brain all last week and this week, I couldn't think of a picture to submit, as it seems to be an "anything goes" theme. After all, isn't life about transition, passage, and change? Any and all living things are always in transition from one state to the next, because we all know what happens when we stop moving and changing - we're dead! 

This Sunday dawns with a perfect opportunity for me to capture the transition between seasons: spring flowers blanketed by snow. Herewith are two pics that illustrate this theme (as well as my original suggested theme of spring). 

Thank you for your continued good work, and deep thanks also go to all you talented pho nhom, poets, artists, and musicians on the forum who have continued to contribute such marvelous pictures, poems, music, and artwork. Though I struggle to keep up with the mail at times and am not always sure who took which picture, it's always a pleasure to view the results on the blog and marvel at the creativity of our forum members.

  1. Hello Trang

    With the prospect of Spring on the verge of arrival, but never quite here,
    a seemingly tease of Mother Nature to keep us all in suspense,
    2 very lovely, pretty pictures saying otherwise, to keep things in proper perspective

    A frozen, if not surreal image of delicate, pink flowers in full bloom is quite a sight to behold

    The bright, sunny, yellow flowers, sparsely and beautifully decorated with globs of snow, are as stunningly unreal as they come,
    a charming surprise amid a winter wonderland

    Thanks for your tremendous effort, unrelenting patience in coming up
    with 2 great pictures, one after the other, for our enjoyment

  2. Good morning Trang,
    Despite being covered by the snow, your flowers looked beautiful. Thanks for sharing the lovely photos which in a way illustrated well your thought on transitions. It is a positive way to look at changes - be it happy or less than pleasant ones.
    You such a positive person, girl!
    Have a great Sunday.

  5. Dear Trang:
    I’m always being fascinated by Bulb Flowers , it reminds me of how strong, beautiful & fragrance they could bloom during the extreme cold weather & become dormant during the next warm season to rejuvenate themselves,
    being able to generate new plants at the same time, waiting to show-off their beauty again for the next spring
    Beautiful, Strong and adaptable is the transition theme.
    Cheers, Liem
