Subject: [MC74 and Friends] RE Trees end streets scenes / Khong con mua Thu


Chưa có thời giờ để kiẽm hình chup cho Trees and streets scenes nên tạm mượn những hình ảnh trong vidéo :


Trưa ngồi nghỉ đôi phút, giữa ngày làm việc hối hả và vội vã ,vưà ăn nhanh, vưà nghe nhạc cho tâm tư thanh thản .Hôm nay trơì Paris hơi đượm mây, báo hiện muà Thu sắp đến,sau một chuỗi ngày Thang Chín nắng ấm như một muà Hè muộn màng .
Chợt nghe một bản nhạc mình rất thích và thường hay đánh piano  những lúc tâm tư căng thẳng :

Không còn Muà Thu cuả nhạc sĩ Việt Anh 
Gởi đèn các bạn qua giọng hát của Hồng Nhung, với những hình ảnh thơ mộng cuả Hà Nội băm sáu phố phường mà mình vẫn yêu, qua bao lần đến đi Ha Nội , nhất là vào muà Thu, khi lá bắt đầu rụng trên các Phố, và mùi  hoa Sữa thoang thoảng đâu đó nở trắng trên khắp nẽo đường...

Bises a toutes et à tous !

Hy Hoà

Et un petit  poeme pour le blog

L Automne n' est plus / Không con muà Thu/ Viêt Anh


L Automne n' est plus  , la Lune se meurt sur le perron
Envolés les ballades qui nous ont bercés , et le rêve de tes lèvres si douces
Tu es comme un poème , comme le premier Printemps, prolongeant la nuit sans fin

Je serais cet  Automne ou` tu pourras venir te retrouver en rêves
Je serais cette ballade toujours et toujours à tes côtés
Tu es partie, à quoi bon les regrets de l Automne mordoré, du Printemps qui pointe

Si tu te souviens de nous, reviens allumer les étoiles dans le ciel
Si tu te souviens de nous, ces nuits de tempête
Quand ta longue chevelure au clair de lune
Et ces mots d' amour qui par pudeur n 'ont pas franchi les lèvres 


Ce chemin que j' ai traversé , jusqu' au bout de l horizon
Ce chemin ou j 'irai , nul ne  le connait 
Le soir tombe de lassitude, le chant des berçeuses n' est plus qu 'un rêve
Qui berce  ma mélancolie et devient poème 

Traduction Hy Hoà



Không Còn Mùa Thu
Tác giả: Việt Anh



Không còn mùa thu, trăng rơi bên thềm 
Không còn lời ru, mơ trên môi mềm 
Em thơ, như mùa xuân đầu, nối dài đêm thâu 

Anh làm mùa thu, cho em mơ màng 
Anh làm lời ru, quấn quýt bên nàng 
Em đi, tiếc gì thu vàng, tiếc gì xuân sang 

Còn thương nhớ nhau, về thắp sao trời 
Còn thương nhớ nhau, từng đêm bão tố 
Tóc ướt trăng thề, lời yêu chưa nói trên môi vụng về 

Đường ta đã qua, chìm khuất chân trời 
Đường ta sẽ qua, nào ai biết tới 
Chiều buông rã rời, ru lòng thôi mơ, ru buồn lên thơ

Hy Hoa

Subject: My additional entry for SIGN/BILLBOARD

Dear Twin BiTi, Fellows PNEH, Mr. Kiu and Forum Friends,


this sign was of a restaurant in Bruges. It looked as if the cat was daydreaming high up there, in the middle of the clouds.

Goodnight

[MC74 and Friends] My late entries for Signs





The Cirque Du Soleil - The Beatles Love show at The Mirage in Las Vegas is amazing. 
Highly recommended to the forum music lovers and the Beatles fans. 
The sound system is incredible, music flows around the theater.
I would see this show again and again, it's worth the money.
After all, all you need is love.

 Love you yeah yeah yeah..."

[MC74 and Friends] My late entry for Signs



Dear fellow PNEH, mr. Kiu and all friends,

I am 'dumbfounded' :-) as I play catch-up in posting your entries to the blog,
from signs to billboards to fall to Halloween ... you deftly capture the essence
and beauty of nature as well the quirkiness of manmade artifacts.

Thu Huong, the 'back lighting' of your grapes is magnificent, mais je ne peux
pas trouver la p'tite bete qui monte ... phai can mat cu' vo cua ma jumelle (au
secours !!!! tu trouves? :-))

Trang oi, your little monkey boy is too cute ! and I wish I had your backyard ! :-)

and dear Twin, i love love love your Halloween shot with NYC (Madison is it?)
reflection in the shop window (was it the shop where we got in trouble? :-))
and the first shot in your Fall entry is just beautiful, I love the bright colour
contrasting against the grey background which almost looks like it's painted,
congrats !!

Ong chu Forum oi, thank you for giving me credit for the chup. xeo xeo' technique,
and although your Halloween flags appear to be xeo xeo' I think you too the photo
straight on, no?  because if I were to do it xeo xeo' the flag poles would have been
vertical and not horizontal hi hi... 

And finally here are my late but not too late :-) photos for signs taken a couple
of days ago, the first two without flash (practicing my Twin's trick :-))

Cheers,
BT

Re: [MC74 and Friends] my entries for FALL

No matter. Whatever pleases you is what we'd like to see.

BT's fun apple-picking and corn-shooting picture entries inspired to go looking for my own apple-picking pics, so here are a few more to add to the Fall and Signs/Billboard themes. Please be selective and feel free NOT to use all of them for the weekly collages, I realize this is a lot but as they say, when it rains it pours!

Fall:
1) Fuji Apples, my favorite apples
2) Apple-picking loot











Signs/Billboards
1) Apple picking
2) Bouncer of Monkeys, a pleasure for all ages
3) Coconut Climb (I thought the little boy climbing the palm tree next to the sign of the coconut climber was just too cute)

Re: [MC74 and Friends] My entries on the theme of SIGNS/BILLBOARDS


Dear MC,


As Hien Lan said, vua len tieng la bi doi no ngay :-)! Your wish is my command, so here forthwith are my submissions for Signs/Billboards, to be followed soon by those for Fall/Halloween. All carry some meaning for me.

1) Funnel Cakes stand on OC Boardwalk (funnel cakes are one of my favorite guilty pleasures, nothing but fried dough with sugar - so bad for you yet oh so good!)
2) Sign over Crabby Dick Restaurant (what can I say?)
3) Billboard at Nationals Park (going to the annual simulcast of the grand opening of the Washington National Opera, an event called Opera in the Outfields, is one of our favorite fall traditions)

[MC74 and Friends] PNEH: my entries for HALLOWEEN/ FALL



My third entry is the perfect proof of the old adage "no pain, no gain" .
 All my suffering of stiff neck is really worth it,  since I learn a new technique :-).
So this one is dedicated to who else but the master of chup hinh xeo' xeo', the talented BiTi, with my heartfelt gratitude :=).

Re: [MC74 and Friends] FALL.



Dear Em Ci, Mr. Kiu and PNEH friends,

  I was able to partake in some fall activities recently in Bridgehampton:
apple picking (which I have always wanted to do one day)  and corn
 shooting (which I had no idea that it existed :-)). So here are my entries:

1. Apple picking ( and all this time, I though I'd need a ladder to climb
up the apple tree, little do I know this is how they grow them :--) pic 1&2

2.  Corn shooting - first the target, then the 'corn bullets' being shoved
in the riffle (pic 3&4)

3.  and last but not least some pumpkins in the sky for by dear Twin :-)
and on the ground for the rest of us hi hi (pic 5 &6)

I am still behind ... the billboards will have to wait, gotta to go ...
xoxos,
BT
