Re: [MC74 and Friends] theme for next week SUMMER

Dear Em Ci Twin and friends,

 I love your summer entries!

Tuan, Caro, TH:  your photos make me long for a beach vacation ...  I have to
console myself with the neighbor's swimming pool :).

HL: I love the collage too (ps. good try: about already forgetting how to do it :))

Ci Twin:  Love those plums, your dear visitors and of course the cool graffiti. I am also very impressed that you recognized HL's bouquet (erm ... how many pics of it do you have? not fair because my battery was out ... as usual hi hi)

This summer for me means:
- reflections in the ... neighbor's pool
- sunglasses
- shades under the oak tree, keeping an eye out on my newly added hydrangea babi
- and last but not least the champaca aka ngoc lan :)

Have a great summer!
BT

Fwd: [MC74 and Friends] cool drinks for the Summer

 

Dear MC and BT

Awesome, gotta try the Lemon margarita, looks really inviting!

Here's a perfect dessert for summer to share with you all

I made this thach for today lunch at my cousins/ place

At the bottom, there are 3 layers of thach: mango with fresh diced mangos, strawberry with sliced strawberries, longan with fruits, then topped with floral aspic. I sculpted the flowers into the thach using  a knife, spoon and syringes, then the finishing touch is the fresh raspberries encapsulated in aspic...

Doesn't it look fresh and pretty?

Fwd: SUMMER - timeout

Dear BiTwin, fellow PNEHs, painters, poets, G Quang and Forum friends,

Here is my second entry for Summer. It was not summer yet when I took this picture, but somehow for me it feels like summer whenever I look at the picture. May be it's because of the sunshine on the water and the leaves, and the sign Timeout? Hope you won't say "Hmm...that's quite a long stretch" :-)

Setting the seeds of the dandelions free under the sunlight evokes summer for me.

Bon weekend a` tous,

Fwd: My entry for Super Moon

Dear all

It was also a lot of learning for me, though surely way more than Thang whose photos of the moon are really nice. 

I used the tripod and set my camera on manual for the first time. It took me a long while to set the camera on the tripod and yet I did not set it up properly as my camera was tilted and every time I pressed the button, it shook a little. As a result, I had to hold the tripod with one hand while taking pictures (it is so embarrassing, it defeats the whole purpose of using the tripod :-)).

But the most important thing for me was it was great fun learning and overcoming my apprehension of setting up the tripod and messing around with the buttons on my camera. 

Anyway here is a collage of my attempts at capturing chi Hang :-).

Too bad it was cloudy in California, so we don't get to see the pictures from the members there. Hope to see the moon from Paris :-)

Goodnight

Fwd: [MC74 and Friends] YELLOW from PUNTA CANA

 

Hi everybody

Had a busy week in the Domenican Republic! After all the conferences and meetings, we had an amazing Saturday in Punta Cana, going on an outing with our friends and colleagues from the duty free industry... amazing swim in a shallow and crystal clear cove, lunch and massage on an island with white sandy beach, and a catamaran ride with open bar, music and dancing. We even witnessed a touching scene, one of the guys proposed to his girlfriend right there, and she said yes! So we had a great celebration back in the hotel, and all had champagne in the pool, under the stars! Just a perfect day! I managed to take some photos for the Yellow theme during the outing... 

And the last photo is my personal favorite, taken during my last month trip in Hong Kong, the giant 54 feet duck is designed by  Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman, and has brought cheers to all visitors!
