my entries for LIGHT

My dear fellows Pho' nhom\, hoa. si~, thi si~  en herbe, and Forum friends,

Here are my entries for this week's theme Light, inspired by the song Nguye^.t Ca of Tri.nh Co^ng So*n (as sung by one of my favorite female singers, Thai' Hie^\n in this very old video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ad2KzseYMoM&feature=related)

My first one is entitled "Tu*\ khi trang la\ nguye^t.
I remembered one early evening as we were stuck in traffic, I looked up and saw the moon just raising above some pink clouds. Although it was just a sliver of a moon,  it was bright, serene and beautiful. It reminded me of the lyrics in Nguye^.t ca:

Từ khi trăng là nguyệt đèn thắp sáng trong tôi
Từ khi trăng là nguyệt em mang tim bối rối
Từ khi trăng là nguyệt tôi như từng cánh diều vui
Từ khi em là nguyệt trong tôi có những mặt trời

Từ đêm khuya khi nắng sớm hay trong những cơn mưa
Từ bao la em đã đến xua tan những nghi ngờ
Từ trăng xưa là nguyệt lòng tôi có đôi khi
Tựa bông hoa vừa mọc hân hoan giây xuống thế
......

My second entry is entitled Trong to^i co' nhu*~ng mat tro*i\.
A little sunshine captured this morning.

 

 

 

My third photo is entitled Bo^ng hoa vu*\a moc. han^ hoan.
this one is for all of you as an early sign of spring and hope, and with thanks to Thu Hu*o*ng who suggested that I keep taking pictures of my little phalaenopsis through its flowering stages. One of its flower buds started blooming yesterday in the morning sunlight.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend
