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

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] WINTER - California Dreaming




I don't mean to rub it in but this is glimpse of Southern California (La Jolla beach) the day after Christmas. 
Winter? What Winter? :=)

[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 =(( broken heart)


Cheers!
BT
