Fw: [MC74 and Friends] more additional entries for HINTS of SPRING





Dear Twin BiTi, fellow PNEHS, painters, poets, Mai Quang and Forum friends,

The weather has been warm here, so the flowers are blooming everywhere, thus no more subtle hints, but rather a shining, showy presence of spring.
Here are my additional entries of not so subtle hints of spring taken today.
The first photo was taken at the little Ralph Bunch Park, on my way to practice my pigeon and my down dog poses .
The picture of the star magnolia blossoms was taken yesterday evening in my garden. 

Have a nice Friday every one
Goodnight from be^n Bo*\ So^ng

A chance encounter on a deserted country road...

When I saw her standing there
I jumped right out my car
And when she moved closer to me
She made me feel not so lonely

My heart is pounding and feelin' bold
She then turned away and left me cold
The fragrance of her ponytail made me cry
I saw rejection in her brown eyes

Baby, I sure hope you're not a filly...

Sorry for the blatant and poorly plagiarized lyrics of a popular 70's 
tune, but i couldn't resist. Getting bored at an airport in 
horseland ;-).

Nice spring weekend to all.

To TNS: Sơn, nice job!   

To all,
If the theme is just "Spring" then there are a lot of choices, but it is "Hints of Spring", then I must say it's quite tough for me. Anyhow, here are my attempts to describe ....  "Hints of Spring".

Ông Đồ (Vũ Đình Liên)

Mỗi năm hoa đào nở
Lại thấy ông đồ già
Bày mực tàu, giấy đỏ
Bên phố đông người quạ
.....
.....
Năm nay đào lại nở
Không thấy ông đồ xưa
Những người muôn năm cũ
Hồn ở đâu bây giờ?

Fw: [MC74 and Friends] announcement of PNEHs - Theme for next week



EmCi, BiTi

Here's my entry for this week's theme; "Hints of spring" made me think of falling in love for the first time dancing a first dance...

A.Vinh and I spent 15 minutes taking what should have been a simple snapshot.:-)  I have renewed respect for the photographers on this forum who reportedly take 1200+ pictures in a day, take pictures with one hand, take pictures with their cell phone, iPhone... all with amazing results.  Anyway, I'll let you guess which part of the picture I ended up using for the background.

Lan oi,

I LOVE the "BO" shot ! and how come I don't remember when you took
the cherry blossom?  I do remember this one (more than a hint I'd say :-))
and the fun walkathon :-)

Biz,
BT

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

My additional entries for HINTS OF SPRING were taken yesterday on the streets of Manhattan where New Yorkers were celebrating St Patrick's Day in short, mini skirt, T-Shirt, and at the High Line where people were taking it easy under the soft sunlight of an early spring.
La' mua\ Xua^n was taken in my garden this afternoon.

Goodnight and have a wonderful week ahead.

Dear twin Bi Ti, fellow PNEHs, painters, poets, Mai Quang and Forum friends
I have many entries to submit for HINTS OF SPRING, from the streets of NYC celebrating St Patrick's Day yesterday to the Farmer's Market on Wednesday, to my own little garden to my neighbors' big backyard.
From my own garden were the cherry blossoms still fresh with morning dew on the new grass, and the green buds. My star magnolia tree being too tall for my little camera to do close up, I went to my neighbors' backyard to take picture of their magnolia flowers :-)
The violas were taken at the Farmers' Market.
I will send more later. Please stay tuned :-)

Fw: [MC74 and Friends] My Entry for Pets and Animals




Hi BT & MC

Actually I took some of the photos through a telescope...

Here are add'l entries for pets (Bich Lan's beloved dogs), Yesterday Tri gave me some tips on taking pets photos but I'm afraid that I have failed the teacher...

BT, you mentioned a great camera to recommend to me, what was it? I think it's about time for me to upgrade... especially since I lost my little Canon  to pickpockets in Paris last month...

Cheers
Caro
