rain or shine - it's pOlka dOts time :-)















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

I did not think that it was easy to find polka dots. However, I was willing to give BiTi 's challenge a try.
So came Monday morning, I put on my polka dot scarf for inspiration and went out on a treasure hunt for polka dots :-)
I passed by Grand Central Terminal market where I saw cookies with m&m polka dots, and a mug with polka dots.
More polka dots seen along the way, through the windows of shops selling accessories: white dots on black umbrella, multicolor dots on sleek black rain boots, black dots on a veil of a black hat, multicolor dots on a silver bag.
I decided to make a bee line to Bryant Park near 5th Avenue and sat down to get some sun, when I spotted a young woman keeping herself warm in cool polka dots scarf.

Time to head back to the office, when suddenly I noticed all these white polka dots on black panels behind the windows of the Banana Republic store near Grand Central Station.

After all, my twin was right, it was not that hard to find polka dots. As a matter of fact, I had an overdose of polka dots that day.
Looking into my photo files on Monday evening, guess what I found? A photo of a red and black beads with white polka dots necklace I took at a flea market in Bruxelles.

Goodnight and have a nice Thursday

  4. Hello Mai Chau

    Such a visual feast, an abundant dose of pretty polka dots pictures lighting up the day, if not the mood, a world of colors and fun brought alive, a compelling case in point that more is definitely more
    A time consuming yet fruitful treasure hunt, resulting in such eye captivating shots, presented so beautifully

    From an attractively soft, fluffly, white scarf, a charmingly decorated coffee mug, an array of accessories in cheerfully bright, vibrant colors neatly framed in a photo collage, a flirty, feminine, floral scarf wrapped elegantly on the young lady, to a dazzling collection of polka dot reflections adding a fun, energetic, youthful touch to the somber skyline, the lovely snapshots were very inspiring and appealing

    Closing out the show in memorable fashion, a polka dot necklace in contrasting, bold, classic color, a delightful mix of fiery red and black
    that defined the theme essence quite fittingly
