My dear twin BiTi and fellows PNEH, hoa si, thi si, art critic and Forum friends,

first, thanks again BiTi and Caro for thinking that my opening act for Red, White and Blue was cute. Your compliment sounded like music to my ears.

It looks like my intention to impress people by holding a cookbook backfired. I will tell Chuong that it was all his fault. When I told him that I wanted to pose with some mi\ goi' to be true to myself as a cook, he sounded a bit puzzled "Mom, why do you want to hold those?...well, ok, whatever Mom, it is your picture". That convinced me to find a cookbook to pose with, and the red one I had forgotten that it ever existed, was picked simply because it went nicely with my tablier :-).
 
Thanks to BiTi, this theme turned out to be lots of fun for me ( and it is also looking like it will be a success since Cao Tua^'n came out of hiding to submit an entry :-)).
 It allowed me to notice things that I did not notice before, even though I usually notice lots of things when I walk on the streets, instead of paying attention to where I need to go to.
(The Cool Gang, beware when you come to visit NYC this Fall, make sure that you all hold on to Quang's shirt, if you don't want to end up walking the streets of Long Island City with me).

All of the sudden, I saw a lot of red and white and blue everywhere I went.  Even Mai Han who normally disapproved of my bad habit of taking pictures wherever I went, joined in the search and pointed out to me a few things that were red, white and blue. Also, it was handy that it was cold in Bruxelles, Bruges and Amsterdam, and Mai Han brought her big red sweatshirt, which she wore almost everyday, and thus became a very reluctant model sometimes.

I took so much pictures, but do not worry, I won't send them all in...at once. As appetizers, here are three collages of all the red, white and blue things I saw in Bruxelles, Bruges and Amsterdam (I am having some technical problems  sending all 3 collages at the same time, so the collages for Bruges and Amsterdam will be sent separately).
A warning:  you may have a hard time finding the red or white or blue items, but that's part of the game :-). A magnifying glass may be handy.
Oh, and another thing, I took it that the blue sky could be counted as something blue since my twin did not say that we could not. I did not cheat, didn't I?
 
Good night and have a good weekend everyone
back to Be^n Bo*\ So^ng

Dear BT, MC, friends and PNEH,

It was a great pleasure to meet some of our forum's friends in OC last saturday and sunday in OC and I would like to say thank you to the organizers of the MC75 Gala,
everything is so nice, perfect and I am sure that everybody had a wonderful time. Since I am still on the road and have little access to internet, I will post pictures when I 'll be back
in town.
Attached are my entries for the new theme. They were taken at the seal beach marina.
I enjoyed so much being in Southern California this time ...
Vive l'été 2011,
BL

Dear  talented  MC, BT, TNS, Caro, Belan, Thuan, Mr. Kiu, Triet, Tuan, Hien-Khiem,  Tuan, Diep,
 Hien-Lan, T-Huong, HyHoa, Minh-Thuy, Duc, Doug, All PNEH  &  Sweet Friends:
Here is my contribution for this week theme "Red,White & Blue"
This photo was taken at LACMA, the impressive "art-mania" area of Los Angeles…
The colors "Red-white & Blue" are so aggressive &  agitating
these particular colors  really make the difference between looking and seeing don't you think?
Hope you like the industrial structure of the subject too…
Liem
 
PS:  Welcome back MC  "L. nho MC nhu la an fruit-tart without crème Anglaise" vay 
I'm so exhausted from having much fun with friends @ the MC Reunion &
trying to be back  to normal (I'm almost back to normal but not quite…)

Dear all,
I have been a very infrequent contributor to the PNEH (once) but here is my second contribution to this great artistic project. Bleu, Blanc, Rouge with a Canadian flavour :  Les Canadiens de Montreal and Le Grand Schtroumf avec les Canadiens.

Hi everybody

Son oi, I love your unique twist on the theme, you have a very good eye!

Welcome back MC, you look very cute in that apron and buried in the upside down cookbook! LIke you, I'm a big fan of Zumba! 
Here's my spin on the theme, I was inspired by objects around the house...
Cheers

Dear Triplets and fellow PNEH-ers,

In spite of some fairly intense partying over the weekend, I still found the time to snap a couple shots for this week's theme (do I get any brownie points? :-)).  The first is a cute window display that has the ingredients of summer: blue sky, clouds, watermelon et... The second is rather self-explanatory.

Amities,

Triet

Very nice RBW shot TNS.

And here's my entry also hang moi, shot in Corona Del Mar and Balboa Island 
and on the Pacific Ocean. Finally, we took the New Port Beach cruise and I highly
recommend it,  we passed the house of N. Cage, Jerry Yang of Yahoo, Laura Bacall,
Cindy Lauper, just to name a few and heard many interesting stories on the the 
history of the area.  Also saw the sea lions sunning (as you can see), lots of RBW
shop windows...  

Coucou Be' Diep and Thu Huong, thank you for your nice words of encouragementl as always.

And thank you Triet, Ai My and Khanh Liem for the hot pics :-)

Cheers!
BT gan OP for a while :-)
