Dear MC, BT, Trang, KLiem, Caro, AiMy, NLan, THuong, Thuan, Quang, Son, Triet, Tuan, Khiem,  PNEH and Friends,

Your pictures and your paintings are gorgeous. I loved seeing each and every one of them.

We visited Montreal and Quebec City this weekend and the theme o^ and du` never left my mind. Since MC la canadienne I was excited to take a few shots of the umbrellas I saw in order to contribute to the blog cua hai ba chu? EmCi and BiTi.

The first 4 pictures were taken at Old Quebec, Place Royale/Chateau Frontenac.

The next ones were at Marche aux fleurs rue Ste Catherine Montreal and the Fete/Parade des jumeaux in Montreal (their theme was Vive les maries).

But most importantly a picture of an adorable set of triplets that I'm dedicating to MC, BT and Trang.

Cheers,

TH

Dear Caro, Trang and Thuy' Hoa\,
Thank you for your beautiful entries! What a feast for my eyes, what a nice way to end my work week! Dung' la\ mo^i~ co^ mo^t. ve? 10 pha^n ven. ca? 20. :-)
Thanks also TH for thinking about this Canadian at heart while strolling in Quebec City and taking photos of umbrellas, and for the cute triplets photo dedicated to BiTi, Trang and me.

Dear BiTi and fellows PNEH, hoa si, thi si, and art critic,
here is my last entry for umbrellas. I thought I had finished with the theme, but yesterday when I saw two sunbrellas taking a break near Dag Hammarskjold Plaza at lunch time, I could not resist pulling out my camera. Then I had the same impulse later on in the evening, as I walked along 42nd Street, and passed by some sunbrellas across the street from Grand Central Station, and in Bryant Park (where Fashion Week in NYC usually took place).

Re: Fw: Re: [MC74 and Friends] My 2nd/3rd entry for umbrellas

Hi Be Lan,

I love the last pic of the two young women walking under the umbrella. What a sweet tender moment captured  forever on camera! The first one is quite artistic with the cool reflection of the water.

Your second entry of the closed parasol paves the way for me to submit my own Umbrella entries, some of which also show a closed umbrella, if hai ba chu blog don't mind stretching the definition of umbrellas a bit. These were all taken in Barcelona in late May. Wish I were back there walking its narrow streets...

- First pic: Street scene on Las Ramblas

- Second: Looking through a doorway

- Third: Early morning at the pool 

(In case you're wondering, the steel sculpture in the back on the third pic is La Ballena (The Whale) from Frank Gehry.)

Re: [MC74 and Friends] gentle reminder to PNEHs re: Summer

Dear Ms EmCi, Ms BiTi, talented PNEH's, fellow bloggers, discerning commentators:

It really is a tough job to follow Ba` Tu`mLum TH, after she posted her photos. No way to match her terrific "Summer" entries! 

But you "play the hands you're dealt". So I will submit my humble entries for "Summer", per Ms EmCi's directives, hoping for continued generosity, magnanimity and kindness from our esteemed commentators.

These were street scenes in Santa Monica, on the 3rd Avenue Promenade, summer 2011.

Happy Summer to all,
T.

Re: [MC74 and Friends] My entries for Umbrellas

Dear EmCi, KLiem and Ai-My:

Thank you very kindly for your good reviews. Since Ms EmCi think that people add warmth to the photos, and "thu*`a thang xo^ng le^n" ( using EmCi's term), I will submit one more "umbrella" photo, with warmth...

Dear PNEH and friends,

I got a bad case of summertime blues right now. :=)

Have a nice summer!

Summertime Blues

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulKgyatEJSw

"I'm gonna take two weeks
Gonna have a fine vacation
I'm gonna take my problem
To the United Nations
Well I called my congressman
And he said, whoa
I'd like to help you son
But you're too young to vote
Sometimes I wonder
What I'm a gonna do
But there ain't no cure
For the summertime blues"

Umbrellas

Dear EmCi, 

I have to give it to you, you do have a way with words :) I could not sleep out of guilt till i can dig up this weekend among my vacation photos to look for a picture with umbrellas, no matter how small they are :) so I can send it in order for "your poor twin Biti to have her simple wish" :))

So here they are, the 2 best I could find with some sort of umbrellas ( taking pictures of umbrellas does not fall in my normal routine during vacation :) I hope you wont penalize me for trying to fit a square into a circle and will accept my photos as suitable for the umbrella theme (even if you have to use a magnifier to locate them in the pictures :)

AiMy

PS: i would run to Fashion Island over the weekend to take some umbrella pictures but I saw on the blog that DocAwake already... stole my idea :)) I have to remind Doc Awake of the law of territoriality , Fashion Island is for Newport Beach residents , hihihi...J/k, your pictures are awsome, Doc Awake and they remind me of how lucky I am to be within walking distance of such a pretty outdoor mall.

Sunbrellas

Dear Em Ci and friends,

Here's my first entry for the theme of umbrellas.  A collection of 'sun'brellas

from Corona Del Mar's beach,  I had to ... sneak up and take the pics and 

try not to get the owners upset :-) but the sun, sea, sand must have mellowed

everyone coz nobody ... noticed !  so here we have it :-)

Happy summer!

BT

My entries for umbrellas

Dear Triplets and esteemed members of PNEH,

Since I'm running a little late with my submission this week, I thought I'd attempt to "nịnh bợ Bà Chủ Blog" with a picture of her and her hubby under the parasol at last year's Boum Du Printemps.

The second shot is of my daughter Olivia in Grand Cayman, enjoying her personal shade. The last one is self-explanatory: a garden umbrella in the quiet of the evening (not the greatest quality shot, I have to say. BT, feel free to scrap it if it doesn't show well in the collage). 

Amities,

Triet

Re: [MC74 and Friends] My entries for Umbrellas

Dear Blog Chiefs, fellow PNEH's, dedicated artists and powerful critics:

Responding to "lo*`i hie^.u-trie^.u quo^'c-da^n do^`ng-ho^`" of our blog executive Ms Emci, I would like to send in my entries for the theme "umbrella". These photographs are "hot off the press", i.e. taken this morning at Fashion Island Mall in Newport Beach. I hope to have fulfilled my obligation on "Umbrella", and will work diligently on "Summer" next.

Dedicated yours,
T.
PS: I have 4 pictures, and will have to send them in separate emails due to size constraint. Sorry, I am not well versed in manipulating the size of the pictures.
