Fw: [MC74 and Friends] For this week's theme 'through the window'

Wow, BT! Such artistic talent you've got my dear! Thanks for the lovely collage. I'm finally getting a chance to catch up on email and enjoy looking at all the great photographic contributions.

This is probably very late, as I have no idea whether the theme Through the Looking Glass is still on this week or not, but here are a couple of pictures taken during our brief stay in NY last week. The first one is entitled Empire State of Mind and shows the NY skyline from across the Hudson River in the Williamsburg area of Brooklyn. The second one was taken during my little excursion in Chinatown with Em Ci and Mr Kiu and is labeled Two Birds With  One Stone, as it could almost double as a shoe theme entry (well, if sandals and flip flops count as shoes) as well as the Through the Looking Glass theme. 

Thank you BT, and keep up the good work!

Hi Cay Ti Xi

So beautifull and fresh tulipes ! And so artistically captured with your camera .Are they from your garden ?It' rare to see purple tulipes

Here are some coquelicots I made a few years ago to match your flowers and bring some Spring scent to all friends

Avec bien du retard, merci beaucoup pour ces belles photos et dessins à tous les amis et  que j' ai pu admirer dans le blog post de notre Sun Queen BT, elles sont toutes superbes et artistiques !

Amitiés

Sunlight thru window

Dear 2 ba chu blog and friends,

Late as usual to meet assignment’s deadline

No good ideas or subjects come to mind

Void of originality & elegance of CTT or Caroline

Ingenuity and creativity from twins EmCi & Lauren

Great techniques of Doug or Sunny’s shine

Not to mention pics of Triet and Liem so refined

As well as Anh Tuan and Ha Tuan’s beautiful skyline

Walking around empty house with a blank mind

Armed with a P&S and not a thing to find

Click click click, hoping outcome will be fine

Spring has sprung with all its glorious signs

Wishing all a wonderful and restful time…

Hello Mai Chau, hello TNS & friends,
I intended to go straight ( lờ đi luôn ) but nothing
could escape your keen sense of observation, EMCI !
So, very humbly, nothing glamourous behing my window,
just a pigeon that came to nest for the second time in
my plants, see the trilogy attached
It was very difficult to photography the mariole that took
the flight as soon as I approched.
Enjoy ,

Re: [MC74 and Friends] For this week's theme 'through the window'

Hi all,

I must say that the artistic talents displayed on this forum are really impressive. It is humbling to be in you all's company. Since we have not had too many poems posted, I will follow the lead of our very talented musician/singer/poet Triet, and humbly send in my modest contribution of a small poem, all the while hoping that "tru*'ng tho^'i" will not be thrown at me.

Tự nhủ

Anh tự nhủ…quyết sẽ không nhung-nhớ,

Không giận-hờn, không suy-nghĩ vẩn-vơ,

Không tương-tư, không thao-thức đợi-chờ

Không buồn-bã những ngày em xa vắng.

Vừa xa nhau, ôi sao lòng vương-vấn,

Nhớ môi thơm đượm ngọt vị yêu-đương,

Nhớ tay đam-mê đưa lối thiên-đường,

Nhớ tình-tự những chiều Đông buốt-giá.

Nhớ làm sao lời yêu tha-thiết quá

Lúc chiều tàn em thủ-thỉ bên tai,

Nhớ làm sao trong đêm vắng canh dài

Tình e-ấp em trao anh trọn-vẹn.

Ôi anh nhớ những buổi chiều hò-hẹn

Đường em về lưu-luyến lúc chia tay,

Ôi nhớ-nhung thao-thức suốt đêm dài,

Anh tự-nhủ…sẽ yêu em mãi mãi!

Dear fellows pho' nhom\, hoa si~ , thi si~ en herbe and forum friends,

Here are my two entries for the theme Through the windows.

My first entry is entitled Lady Liberty looking out the window.

I was walking down 5th Avenue on Friday,
When I saw her, Lady Liberty.
She was standing in a Souvenir shop,
With her torch, amidst mountains of T-Shirts 
Looking out the window at the passers-by,
And the rain, and the grey and cloudy sky
With her sad and beautiful eyes.


My second entry is entitled NY look and reflections

Enjoy your weekend
From be^n bo*\ so^ng (nhu*ng kho^ng say so'ng :-))

Fw: [MC74 and Friends] More pictures on the "Through The Window" theme

Hi BiTi, Em Ci and all pho nhom,
Sorry for the late submissions but I just found these two shots that
should fit the topic quite well.
The first is a picture of our patio back in Massachusetts in the early
spring (Ah, we really miss that house, now that we're in Chicago). The
second is a shot taken just this past New Year's of our friend Di
Binh's spectacular backyard, particularly in the early morning fog.
You guys change themes so fast, it's hard to keep up! I'm working on
the "Shoes" theme now, but I suspect the ladies on the forum may have
a slight advantage over the guys on this topic. Anyway, enjoy!

Fw: my additional entries for water, etc....

Title of my photo: Be^n bo*\ so^ng lie^u~ ru~. Somehow, looking at the photo, I felt that a Vietnamese title fitted better the poetic, but in a very Asian way, scenery.    I remember sitting by the river that day to take the photo, wishing that it was a moonlit evening...

Title of my photo: what else but "Raise the red lanterns" :-) It seemed that the view of these old houses adorned with red lanterns did remind some of us of Zhang Yimou's movie, right Doc Awake?

Another entry for shoes

The story of the frame and the little clogs

I brought these tiny little clogs back from Portugal, for the longest time they sat on the bookshelf collecting dust… then one Christmas the frame came ‘on’ a white elephant (gift exchange).  It sat down on the bookshelf next to the little clogs and … WHAM … one look at each other (that’s all it took), and they decided to stay glued together forever after :-)

Don’t you think they are a good match? :-)

Since the theme of the week is shoes, I thought I’d introduce them to you and to share with you a bit of my little clogs’ country of origin with a song from the young up and coming fadista Ana Moura at
