My "hints of Spring"

Dear Em Ci Twin and friends,  I went out and shot these when it stopped raining this morning (finally after a loooong week of rain and more rain)  There are lots of hints of spring I tell' ya :-)  1.  Hot pink babies  (this is the story behind these babies.  One day a couple of years ago, after plucking dead buds/leaves off the cyclamen, I just threw them on the ground so the gardeners can blow them away later. Little did I know, they were going to seed and grow into little plants ... and 2 years later, now, they have these hot pink blooms (a beautiful cross between the fuchsia red and white cyclamen that I planted) Isn't nature wonderful ? :-)   2. Rien qu'une larme (can you tell why?)   3. Pygmy tulips (they are only about 10cm tall :-))   4 and 5.  I don't know what they are called but they grow back every year like weed     6. Cherry blossoms on the way    Hope spring is on its way where ever you are as well, BT

Hi 2 ba chu

Here are more photos taken in Arenal, Costa Rica. the 1st one is of a sloth (a mammal from the same family as the ant eater, who loves to eat leaves and sleeps most of the time)....

Hi BT

Really skillful photography! the close up shot is awesome, and how did you get such clear pictures of the humming bird? I tried to shoot some of them when we were in Costa Rica but they were all blurry as the birds moved too fast. 
But here are some photos from Manuel Antonio natural park in Puntarenas, Costa Rica!

My Entry for Pets and Animals

Dear fellow PNEH and friends,

 Here are my photos to complete my Twin and HLan's collection

of animals from CDM.

1 and 2: Lisa and Patrick

3 and 4 are actually taken by the flower fields in Carlsbad, we were

a little bit to early for the season, there were just a couple of rows

of ranunculus so we made do with the ice plant patches by the

road and hummingbird gazing :-)

Cheers,

BT

Hi everybody

I've been really busy in Basel and didn't have much time to browse through all your photos but I saw some great shots from Tuan, TNS, MC, and awesome shots from HL! Sorry if I miss any photos, but surely I will catch up when MC and BT will do their magical collage as usual!

HL, I wish I could go to Paris to have a little fun, but seems like I've been gone forever, can't wait to go home...

Here are some pictures of Rufio socializing with fellow Welsh Corgis at the Dog Park!
Gosh I love Welsh Corgis!!!! Such fun watching them interact...

Hello
Here's my contribution on the Animal's Theme! This little dog was very intrigued by the roaming crab, and the crab was not intimidated at all, it was ready to defend itself!

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

Here are my first entries for the theme ANIMALS / PETS, all taken last weekend in Corona del Mar where I had a wonderful though too short time with my twin BiTi and Hien Lan. We had so much fun walking the streets of CDM, looking at the pretty houses, going to the Farmers Market, and strolling on the beautiful beach with chi Hu*o*ng\, taking pictures, and taking pictures of each other taking pictures, that I hope we could do it again soon. You may be seeing more photos of Miel and Lisa and Patrick taken by BiTi and Hie^n\ Lan :-)

Goodnight
from Be^n Bo*\ So^ng
