Re: [MC74 and Friends] my multiple entries for WINTER :-)

My dear twin, fellow PNEHs, painters, poets, Mai Quang, Forum friends,

Are you ready for the avalanche?
BiTi, wrap yourself in a blanket, put on your pink-tinted sunglasses, and have your mug of steamy hot chocolate ready :-)
My entries were taken just yesterday.
The first photo, entitled "l'hiver, l'attente" was taken in Bo*\ Nam, right before driving back to Be^n Bo*\ So^ng (the temperature was 40 F, so my hands were frozen stiff after a few minutes of standing outside to take the picture).
My second one "winter landscape", and my third collage "winter road" were taken while sitting in the car, driving along US 87.

Have a nice day everyone.from a much warmer Be^n Bo*\ So^ng

Deat BT, MC and phen friends,

 

Wow!, thank you Tuân for the pics of Tahoe ... have always dreamed of its light powder!

 

Merci Caro NHoa for the cozy Xmas dinner pics. Thank you all for sharing the beautiful pics and videos.

 

I got back from SE Asia (VN and Cambodia: Angkor temples are simply magnificent)  with a bad cold. Please find  here a few pics of the Swiss winter.

 

May you and your family  have a fabulous New Year,

Thu Huong, Nhu-Hien, Thuy Hoa & KTC & L.Hien,  Dear PNEH friends,

 I enjoy every one photo entry (every day)  & couldn’t write enough my  sweet thought

So I just like to contribute my small entry  for “ the winter in the dry land”  for fun

I saw this small tree @  the red-rock  park close to Las Vegas  & had much feeling admiring it

While we were on a trail towards the larger Red Rocks,

( It’s pretty wonderful to walk during the cooler season in the desert area )
Cheers,

Liem

[MC74 and Friends] My 3rd entry for warmth

To: M-U, try some ruoc with oatmeal first if you don't want to 

go through all the trouble with chao' ga to see if you like the

taste of a salty oatmeal. I love it hi hi

[MC74 and Friends] My first entry for WINTER

Dear twin, fellow PNEHs, painters, poets , Mai Quang and Forum friends,

Between catnaps, I did not know what else to do with my time during our long drive on highway 87 on Christmas day. So I took out my camera to shoot pictures. I was so tempted to roll the window down to take pictures but I knew I was going to get buried under a sea of complaints, so had to resign myself to take pictures behind the car window
This photo sort of captured winter on the road.

Since I have no access to my pc, my mat cu vo cannot see very clearly the photo on the iPad screen, so BiTi, I reserve the right to withdraw this entry once I got home and saw how much of an eyesore it was.

Goodnight
MC

Re: [MC74 and Friends] My entry for winter

Dear Em Ci and PNEH friends,

 Here's a collage of what you'll find in California in winter.

 Our trees are hung with organic ornaments, little sun to 

brighten up our winter when father sun is too sleepy

to come out :-)  I added the yuzu lime tree last spring 

and already we have many limes, I had to pick, squeeze

and freeze the juice.  The Meyer lemons are there to

pick year round and the Navel oranges will be ready

in another 3-4 weeks.

And if you wander into my favorite Southern CA town,

this is what you'll find ...  winter? what winter? :-)

Cheers,

BT

Re: [MC74 and Friends] My second entry for warmth

Hi BT

Yes, I miss your cook blog, you should update it!
Your entry reminds me of the German Feuerzangenbowle  winter hot flaming punch made with red wine, rum, cinnamon, a mixture of citrus and caramelized sugar. So here's my new entry for Warmth...
This delectable drink really makes you feel warm and fuzzy!
Cheers
Caro

My second entry for warmth

Dear Twin and fellow PNEH,

 Before you head out to shoot some cold winter

scene, how about a couple of shots of 'vin chaud'

to keep you warm and ... in good spirit ;-) ?

For those of you who like to tinker in the kitchen

the recipe is posted on my cook-blog which

has been left unattended for a long time (shame

shame )

Cheers!

Re: [MC74 and Friends] My entry for CHRISTMAS

BiTi, EmCi,

Here's my late entry for the Christmas theme, inspired by all the bright, colorful, and heart-warming pics everyone sent in.  That's one advantage of being late, there's so much to inspire you.

I think all of us have reached a point in our lives where the best present is to have someone tell you "no, you're not too old to dream" and help you realize that dream.

(THg - The background is a silver bracelet my daughter Clarissa made for her jewelry class last semester.  I thought of it when I saw your "ruban" watercolor.)

Dear 2 ba chu blog, ong chu Forum, Mr. Kiu, fellow PNEHs, and friends,

If I may join you late and add to your very beautiful, festive, and jolly collection of Christmas pictures and painting, here’s my entry.  With special intervention from a higher authority, I was granted permission by the ranch owner to catch a quick glimpse of Santa Bull and his supporting cast. Snap, snap… Here they are, performing a traditional holiday hymn, “Joy to the World of PNEHs and the Forum” !! J

Joy to PNEHs and the Forum !

Re: [MC74 and Friends] My entries for XMAS

Hi Triet

Very pretty Christmas lit rows of trees!

Here's my new entry for Christmas

Last night, on the way to Bich Lan & Luan's place in San Marino, we drove past a street filled with festively decorated houses with sparkling lights,  spinning carousels, moving reindeers and elves, Christmas carols blasting through loudspeakers, and one of the house owners even dressed up as Santa to greet passersby and distribute candies... It was both kitsch and utterly charming! Enjoy

Re: [MC74 and Friends] Warmth

Hi Friends

On this chilly winter evening, I feel warm and fuzzy and imagined myself wrapped in Tuan's brightly colored blanket, petting Triet's dog by the fireplace, dreaming of Liem's light soaked room and wishing to be on Son's sunny beach, while savoring MC & BT's yummy chocolates...

Here's my interpretation of warmth: a freshly baked cookie
Enjoy photos of my batch of sweets baked this week end...
