[MC74 and Friends] My late entry for Signs

Dear fellow PNEH, mr. Kiu and all friends,

I am 'dumbfounded' :-) as I play catch-up in posting your entries to the blog,

from signs to billboards to fall to Halloween ... you deftly capture the essence

and beauty of nature as well the quirkiness of manmade artifacts.

Thu Huong, the 'back lighting' of your grapes is magnificent, mais je ne peux

pas trouver la p'tite bete qui monte ... phai can mat cu' vo cua ma jumelle (au

secours !!!! tu trouves? :-))

Trang oi, your little monkey boy is too cute ! and I wish I had your backyard ! :-)

and dear Twin, i love love love your Halloween shot with NYC (Madison is it?)

reflection in the shop window (was it the shop where we got in trouble? :-))

and the first shot in your Fall entry is just beautiful, I love the bright colour

contrasting against the grey background which almost looks like it's painted,

congrats !!

Ong chu Forum oi, thank you for giving me credit for the chup. xeo xeo' technique,

and although your Halloween flags appear to be xeo xeo' I think you too the photo

straight on, no?  because if I were to do it xeo xeo' the flag poles would have been

vertical and not horizontal hi hi... 

And finally here are my late but not too late :-) photos for signs taken a couple

of days ago, the first two without flash (practicing my Twin's trick :-))

Cheers,

BT

Re: [MC74 and Friends] my entries for FALL

No matter. Whatever pleases you is what we'd like to see.

BT's fun apple-picking and corn-shooting picture entries inspired to go looking for my own apple-picking pics, so here are a few more to add to the Fall and Signs/Billboard themes. Please be selective and feel free NOT to use all of them for the weekly collages, I realize this is a lot but as they say, when it rains it pours!

Fall:

1) Fuji Apples, my favorite apples

2) Apple-picking loot

Signs/Billboards

1) Apple picking

2) Bouncer of Monkeys, a pleasure for all ages

3) Coconut Climb (I thought the little boy climbing the palm tree next to the sign of the coconut climber was just too cute)

Re: [MC74 and Friends] My entries on the theme of SIGNS/BILLBOARDS

Dear MC,

As Hien Lan said, vua len tieng la bi doi no ngay :-)! Your wish is my command, so here forthwith are my submissions for Signs/Billboards, to be followed soon by those for Fall/Halloween. All carry some meaning for me.

1) Funnel Cakes stand on OC Boardwalk (funnel cakes are one of my favorite guilty pleasures, nothing but fried dough with sugar - so bad for you yet oh so good!)

2) Sign over Crabby Dick Restaurant (what can I say?)

3) Billboard at Nationals Park (going to the annual simulcast of the grand opening of the Washington National Opera, an event called Opera in the Outfields, is one of our favorite fall traditions)

[MC74 and Friends] PNEH: my entries for HALLOWEEN/ FALL

My third entry is the perfect proof of the old adage "no pain, no gain" .
 All my suffering of stiff neck is really worth it,  since I learn a new technique :-).
So this one is dedicated to who else but the master of chup hinh xeo' xeo', the talented BiTi, with my heartfelt gratitude :=).

Re: [MC74 and Friends] FALL.

Dear Em Ci, Mr. Kiu and PNEH friends,

  I was able to partake in some fall activities recently in Bridgehampton:

apple picking (which I have always wanted to do one day)  and corn

 shooting (which I had no idea that it existed :-)). So here are my entries:

1. Apple picking ( and all this time, I though I'd need a ladder to climb

up the apple tree, little do I know this is how they grow them :--) pic 1&2

2.  Corn shooting - first the target, then the 'corn bullets' being shoved

in the riffle (pic 3&4)

3.  and last but not least some pumpkins in the sky for by dear Twin :-)

and on the ground for the rest of us hi hi (pic 5 &6)

I am still behind ... the billboards will have to wait, gotta to go ...

xoxos,

BT

I was lucky enough to take some shots last weekend before the rain took out most of the leaves this week. So, to get a jump on this week's theme, here are my contributions. Enjoy.

Have a wonderful Sunday with joy & laughter as always!

Congratulations Belan & Viet!!!!

Dear fellows PNEH, painters, poets, Mr. Kiu, Forum friends,

Here are my additional entries for the theme:
The first photo was again taken from our hotel room. My camera caught the m&m guy winking at BiTi and Hie^n\ Lan who were standing next to me taking pictures.

Good night

Re: [MC74 and Friends] SIGNS AND BILLBOARDS

Hello everybody

HL, love your sophisticated billboards! Love the entries from KL, Triet, Thuan, very colorful and cheerful...
I have not been out much, mainly holed up in my office trying to get urgent work done so I could take a break next week: we're going on a cruise from tomorrow...  So I'll submit these signage/billboard photos taken last month in Cannes, I love the old world charm of the Majestic Hotel on the 1st picture. On the 2nd picture is the signage of a charity golf tournament, we played under the rain for the first few holes and it finally cleared up... The 3rd and 4th pictures are taken in the Vieille Ville, with lots of quaint little restaurants...
Cheers
Caro

My dear twin BiTi, fellows PNEH, painters, poets and Mr. Kiu,
Thanks to HL and BiTi 's visit, I have hundreds of pics of signs and billboards to submit, so please be patient :-).
 Here are the first two photos, as BiTi and HL will surely recall, the photo of the ads for the Broadway shows was taken while we strolled along Broadway, and the photo of the lovers with the m&m bags was taken from our hotel room.

[MC74 and Friends] My entries for "Signs & Billboards"

Dear Triplets & fellow PNEH-ers,

For the Signs & Billboards theme, here are:
1. "Environmental Message": a reminder from local middle school children, using the Doby character from Harry Potter
2. "Recession Signs 1 & 2": signs of the times?

Enjoy.
