 Dear twin BiTi, fellows PNEH, painters, poets, Mr. Kiu, and Forum friends
I like trees, therefore it goes without saying that I like this theme a lot. Mu*ng\ nhu* bat' du*o*c. vang\. nhie^u\ hinh\ qua' kho^ng bie^t' gu*i? cai' nao\...tru*o*c' da^y :-). Thanks Caro!BiTi, don't worry about me kicking you out of the blog, you may be kicking me out first after seeing the number of entries that I am submitting here.
You may need to make a collage just for my entries alone :-).
 

I love BiTi's trees
I also love Caro's palm, bamboo trees and bonzais.


Unlike BiTi and Caro, I am not good at botany, thus I don't know the names of the trees in my photos; all I can tell you is where I found them :-)

-My first photo was taken in Rive Sud.

-My second tree was found near the parking lot of Hanauma Bay, looking as if it had a part in the movie Lion King.

-My third tree was seen at Waimanalo Beach.

-My fourth one was taken in Manhattan. I was walking around with my camera today, with the intention to capture some street scenes for the future theme suggested by TNS, when I looked up and saw the two trees with all these pigeons resting on their branches.

-The picture of the trees in the collage was taken yesterday, in my neighbors' backyard. The whole day was quite cloudy, then suddenly there was some sunlight that came through the clouds at sunset, illuminating the sky with hues of pink and blue. I ran out to take pictures of the trees, and got attacked by a swarm of mosquitoes. One was so hungry, it tried to suck the blood out of my poor camera. (chac' con muo^i~ no' nghi~ bung. kho^ng bie^t' ai ma\ minh\ ddo^ng\ da sat' the^' nay\, hut' mai~ kho^ng du*o*c!). So I quickly retreated back to my house after only a few snapshots which I made into a collage.
-My last photo was from Montreal; the tree stood at the corner of Crescent and Sherbrooke. There were a few of them lining Crescent street.
Goodnight and have a nice Tuesday
from be^n Bo*\ So^ng

    So Lovely and Picturesque,
    6 diverse, eye popping illustrations of trees,
    at their charming bests

    1) an eerily quiet, barren tree presence, with a couple of leaves desperately hanging on, in a winter wonderland prettily named Rive Sud

    2) a shapely looking tree, oddily twisted, seemingly with a mind of its own,
    a beautiful decor to Hanauma Bay

    3) the dainty, fragile tree adding a touch of elegance to a dreamy panorama,
    the artistically captured Waimanalo Beach
    4) the cozy, nestling places of pigeons in their familiar territory,
    the concrete jungle of Manhattan, beautifully illuminated with warm rays of
    sunshine

    5) a gorgeous picture, a delightful sunset, seen through the shadowy trees,
    in a playful mix of lovely colors, pink and blue

    6) a beautifully framed parking space,
    a convenient resting place for trees and bikes alike

    Quang
