[MC74 and Friends] my additional entry for CHILDREN

My dear twin, fellows PNEH, painters, poets, Mr. Kiu and forum friends,

this photo of one of the most gorgeous babies I've ever seen was taken with the mother's permission. 

I saw the mother and child at the Farmers' Market in Midtown Manhattan. I thought they both looked beautiful, and I loved the colors of the mother's African outfit and the piece of cloth in which she carried her baby. I followed them for a while, trying to take a picture. But the mother was going from one stall to another and kept moving around, so I could not take any decent photo. Finally, she left the market and walked a few blocks to get a sandwich in Subway. I followed them inside Subway and decided to try my luck and ask for her permission to take their picture.
To my total surprise and delight, she smiled and said yes, and even patiently posed for me. I felt as if I just won a prize, and it made me happy the whole day.

He was tightly wrapped up, so I did not encounter any difficulty in taking his photo, without having to resort to Hie^n\ Lan's technique of taking pictures of babies, i.e. dig a hole in the sand to put him in (not sure how his mother would have reacted if I did that :-))

Goodnight
 from be^n Bo*\ So^ng

[MC74 and Friends] My entry for Halloween



Dear PNEH friends, my busy bee Twin :-) and all,

Here's my entry for Halloween.  I promise this is it ... for today :-)

Cheers,
BT



[MC74 and Friends] Re: my second entry for CHILDREN


  Dear twin, Fellows PNEH, painters poets, Mr. Kiu

Here is my third entry for the theme. It was a little blurry because the bike was speeding by, and, I must admit that it is a bit of a stretch because the children in the photo were not the main focus of my camera, but that was all I got left from my photo files:-)

[MC74 and Friends] more Fall entries



Dear twin, fellows PNEH, painters, poets and Mr Kiu,

This afternoon, in between chores, I went out to my next door neighbors' garden and took some more photos for Fall.
And so here are my two additional entries for our theme Fall.

My second entry was inspired by this very short poem which IMHO, is one of the most beautiful love poems. It was written by the late professor Ddinh Ngoc. Mo^ , a wonderful tutor for my older siblings and a family friend. Some of you may recall that he was the very charming Monsieur ddo^' vui dde^? hoc.


Na(ng' nhay? mua' ngoai\ sa^n
La' vang\ bay trong gio'
Va\ anh trong ma(t' em
Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Subject: [MC74 and Friends] RE Trees end streets scenes / Khong con mua Thu


Chưa có thời giờ để kiẽm hình chup cho Trees and streets scenes nên tạm mượn những hình ảnh trong vidéo :


Trưa ngồi nghỉ đôi phút, giữa ngày làm việc hối hả và vội vã ,vưà ăn nhanh, vưà nghe nhạc cho tâm tư thanh thản .Hôm nay trơì Paris hơi đượm mây, báo hiện muà Thu sắp đến,sau một chuỗi ngày Thang Chín nắng ấm như một muà Hè muộn màng .
Chợt nghe một bản nhạc mình rất thích và thường hay đánh piano  những lúc tâm tư căng thẳng :

Không còn Muà Thu cuả nhạc sĩ Việt Anh 
Gởi đèn các bạn qua giọng hát của Hồng Nhung, với những hình ảnh thơ mộng cuả Hà Nội băm sáu phố phường mà mình vẫn yêu, qua bao lần đến đi Ha Nội , nhất là vào muà Thu, khi lá bắt đầu rụng trên các Phố, và mùi  hoa Sữa thoang thoảng đâu đó nở trắng trên khắp nẽo đường...

Bises a toutes et à tous !

Hy Hoà

Et un petit  poeme pour le blog

L Automne n' est plus / Không con muà Thu/ Viêt Anh


L Automne n' est plus  , la Lune se meurt sur le perron
Envolés les ballades qui nous ont bercés , et le rêve de tes lèvres si douces
Tu es comme un poème , comme le premier Printemps, prolongeant la nuit sans fin

Je serais cet  Automne ou` tu pourras venir te retrouver en rêves
Je serais cette ballade toujours et toujours à tes côtés
Tu es partie, à quoi bon les regrets de l Automne mordoré, du Printemps qui pointe

Si tu te souviens de nous, reviens allumer les étoiles dans le ciel
Si tu te souviens de nous, ces nuits de tempête
Quand ta longue chevelure au clair de lune
Et ces mots d' amour qui par pudeur n 'ont pas franchi les lèvres 


Ce chemin que j' ai traversé , jusqu' au bout de l horizon
Ce chemin ou j 'irai , nul ne  le connait 
Le soir tombe de lassitude, le chant des berçeuses n' est plus qu 'un rêve
Qui berce  ma mélancolie et devient poème 

Traduction Hy Hoà



Không Còn Mùa Thu
Tác giả: Việt Anh



Không còn mùa thu, trăng rơi bên thềm 
Không còn lời ru, mơ trên môi mềm 
Em thơ, như mùa xuân đầu, nối dài đêm thâu 

Anh làm mùa thu, cho em mơ màng 
Anh làm lời ru, quấn quýt bên nàng 
Em đi, tiếc gì thu vàng, tiếc gì xuân sang 

Còn thương nhớ nhau, về thắp sao trời 
Còn thương nhớ nhau, từng đêm bão tố 
Tóc ướt trăng thề, lời yêu chưa nói trên môi vụng về 

Đường ta đã qua, chìm khuất chân trời 
Đường ta sẽ qua, nào ai biết tới 
Chiều buông rã rời, ru lòng thôi mơ, ru buồn lên thơ

Hy Hoa

this sign was of a restaurant in Bruges. It looked as if the cat was daydreaming high up there, in the middle of the clouds.

[MC74 and Friends] My late entries for Signs





The Cirque Du Soleil - The Beatles Love show at The Mirage in Las Vegas is amazing. 
Highly recommended to the forum music lovers and the Beatles fans. 
The sound system is incredible, music flows around the theater.
I would see this show again and again, it's worth the money.
After all, all you need is love.

"Love is all you need
 Love you yeah yeah yeah..."
