Fw: [MC74 and Friends] My entry for this week theme: Egg



Hi BT, BL, CTT, TNS, KL, Thg, Caro TD

Your entries are so interesting, I love the variety, different interpretations of the theme, the personal touch, the quirkiness... everything! Thg's paintings are always a delight, deceptively simple yet so expressive...
Here are my 3 entries - Hope you'll enjoy them

Caro

The first one was taken in the Barcelona market - there were all sorts of eggs, from ostrich, goose, duck, poultry, quail, you name it! It was just amazing




The second entry : Assorted egg shaped pumpkins, hand decorated with famous scenes from Chinese literature, from the Monkey King, to the Three Kingdom...





My last entry is one of my favorite snacks "Son in law Eggs" which I serve with a sauce made with tamarind juice, nuoc mam, fried shallots, crushed peanuts and lots of coriander... Just delicious! For large parties, you can make this dish with quail eggs too...

Re: [MC74 and Friends] My entry for this week theme: Egg






Dear PNEH and friends,

I could not make up my mind to submit which one as "a monkey among us with an egg" entry.
Goi ca hai cho khoi thac mac. Just in case someone asks where is the easter egg, it is inside that egg-shaped thing. :=)

Happy Easter,
TNS

Fw: [MC74 and Friends] My entry for this week theme: Egg





Dear BT,  MC,  PNEH & Romantic MC Friends:
 
Hien-Khiem,  BT & BeLan,  your collages are just beautiful, much  fun & show much beauty and grace of the whole MC group.
Hien-Khiem oi:  now I realize that Texas is also a romantic place to be, it doesn't represent only "cows and cowboys" or "Don't mess with Texas"
BeLan,  Montreux is just a heavenly place on earth!  It's surely reflect the enlightenment of the inhabitant
 
BT, your second entry of the Digital DNA Egg is just a wonder to share with friends,
the last picture's a lot of fun, it's just makes me smile (the model's expression and the real egg-shaped face)

Dear TDCaro:  I love so..so..so.. much your  photo from the Barcelona Museum: I'm just in Awe!
 
CTT, the pigeon Egg shows  so much tenderness in nature just as  motherly love ( or your love with nature )
 
OMG! THuong, your paintings are so dreamy &  just make us dwelling in heaven
 
Here are my colored  eggs  that I made this morning for this week's  theme, hope that you like it
 
Wish you all inspired, saint & safe for the whole week to come!
Cheers from Liem

Fw: [MC74 and Friends] New Theme - Egg




Dear CTT , BT, MC and friends…

Am I completely "HS" (hors sujet ) ?
 When I read the new theme : anything egg-shaped,
I thought right away about the pink chair installed in the Garden of Montreux Palace and
this only during the jazz festival ! So I rushed to submit it with my all good intention !
(dun'g la méo mo' nghê' nghiep). For me the chair has an egg-shaped !This is up to you to judge.

Here I re-submit my entry : Egg shaped this time !Hope that the jury is generous.

Sorry, My rabbit looks a bit sad.

Enjoy sunny sunday,

BL

Fw: [MC74 and Friends] MC74 And Friends : MY ULTIMATE ENTRY FOR THE THEME " ATTITUDE"

Hi BiTi & EmCi,
As all my entries on the latter theme have been
deemed unacceptable by a very severe jury,
I dare resubmit an ultimate time,hoping they like
this picture and that suits their tastes.
I swear on my own head that I took the pic myself,
with MY camera, on a beautiful day last fall.
MY model was completely consenting.

Fw: [MC74 and Friends] Gentle reminder on behalf of my Twin :-)




OK, BT, you ask for it. Here is my contribution ....

I know I am not as cute as Chloe.  But people love me because, besides being plump and having a soft bun, I am hot and juicy, and full of energy (calories) to satisfy anyone.  After you have me, here, you would not want to do it at any ball park anymore .....
My nick name is #2 and my sis #1 is among the "101 things to taste before you die"
Even before you have me, you have an attitude ... of satisfaction as shown in "attitude 3"
:-)


Who am I (my real name)? and where I am from? You can check "attitude 2" for hint
 :-)
Have fun!
MThuy

P.S. You guys are so funny. I love all of your pics and songs, and stories, ....  Thanks!

Fw: [MC74 and Friends] entry for this week theme - Attitudes





Dear Friends,

To eat my own words and disclaimer :) I could not resist submitting a 2nd entry for the week : the photo of my niece, the apple of my eyes, for the theme of " Children with attitude " ( from CTT 's categorizing the entries of the week as 2 themes:" Attitudes" and "Children ")

 I thought Chloe Ai-Vy is so cute in this picture ( I have this pic and many others of hers around my desk to keep me company :) and would qualify as " Coyishness " in Children with Attitude, dont you think?

EmCi, I'm lay thit de nguoi here ( both Chloe and myself are on the heavy side :) and am afraid your willowy Francoise Hardy frame wont be able to withstand the invasion :) so be careful of what you wish !!

Cheers,

AiMy

Bonne semaine  à tous ,

Fw: [MC74 and Friends] My entry for this week's theme: "Attitudes"





To follow in Triet's footsteps who started with the first picture of  " Attitudes " in  Prague,  I ask for permission to submit the 2nd  bold picture as my entry for this week's  theme.  I have to respectfully inform the 2 blog owners that this may be my one and only  submission , for lack of talent ( hopefully, after this disclaimer , EmCi wont go after me and do`i no*. every week :) 

But to make up for my ' Bi' da`i  da`i" /barrenness in the future,  there are 3 attitudes instead of one in this  entry :  
- Satisfied as  in female " I did it ", 
- Puzzled  Asian Tourist 
 and the most endearing one in my eyes : 
- Mischievious as in boyish " Do I dare ? " :)

By the way, Triet,   I believe we had  our  first  wild boar / sanglier   dish at this restaurant , though I cannot remember its name, nor the names of other places in Prague ( Czech is a hard language to master). I admire your son for going there as an exchange student. Though most people speak english , but all the signs are in Czech , making it very confusing at the metro and bus stations.  

BT,  I dont know how to compress  the file to a smaller size so I tried playing with the Collage feature of Picasso. Hopefully you can open it.

Fw: [MC74 and Friends] Our weekly project - new theme "Attitude"





Dear fellow pho nhom/artists,

It's amazing what things you can find around your house collecting dust all these years, e.g. statues, and lo and behold a cow with a "diva" attitude.  Texas has more cows than people (close to 30 millions or so) and it just happens there's one in our backyard.  Here she is, all dressed up with cherry red lipstick on, and wanting me to snap pictures of her to show her off on the blog.  I think she said Mooooah !

Fw: [MC74 and Friends] My entry for this week theme - Attitude



Hi TNS and MC - I totally relate with what you're going through, it's the same with my sons, not only they do not let me take any photos of them (except for special occasions), they would prefer me not to talk about them to my friends either! Yes, Thuan, enjoy your kids while they're young and still idolize you... Mine used to think that their mom was perfect, but I feel that now it's even better because they still adore me with all my flaws but I cannot get away with everything any more!

Hi BT, love your impromptu shots, real attitude there! OK, here's my contribution, also a shot captured on the go...

Fw: [MC74 and Friends] My entry for this week theme - Attitude




Dear fellows pho' nhom\ en herbe, hoa. si~, thi si~,  art critic, and Forum friends,

Here are my three entries for Attitudes.

The first entry is a copy cat of the original by TNS.
I took this picture of Mai Kho^i, my eldest daughter (who does not enjoy being photographed), during our vacation last summer in Hawaii. It was also the first time I took pictures, so I was very eager to improve my skills, at MK's total displeasure as she was constantly under camera surveillance, so much so that she threatened to confiscate my camera more than once. Now, if she knew that I am posting her photo on the blog, I would never see my camera again :-)
I was playing paparazzi, while we were waiting for the food which took a long time come, and, we were starving. Now I know that it is the sort of combination that would trigger the worst attitude out of of my human subjects :-).


The second and third ones are to keep up with the trend set lately by other pho' nhom\s of photographing statues :-).
These photos were taken in DH park in Manhattan where there has been a display of statues with different expressions and positions. I was walking through the park one early morning last March, after the snow had fallen lightly over the night.

Somehow, when I looked at the statue sitting on a bench covered by the snow, I saw a very peaceful expression, and zen-like attitude.

I hope my last entry could fit into this theme, as a symbol of an attitude of mutual respect.

OK, now I could go back to my chores.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend and have a wonderful week
MC




Fw: [MC74 and Friends] My entry for this week theme - Attitude




My kids are still young, so I have not experienced the "attitude" that Brain showed here. I am heeding Son's advice to enjoy this time as much as I can, for the children will not be as attached to us when they grow up. I am sending in a picture showing a different attitude, that of my youngest boy Nathan Xuan-Khoa ( who is now 6 y/o), taken when he was almost 3, at a time when the presence and attention of his father was still desirable and pleasurable to him.

Have a great Spring Sunday everyone.

T.
