August is a busy month, I've been working on cleaning the backyard and hauling loads of woods and trash left by the previous owners to the landfill, and still have a few more loads to do. The backyard used to be the dumping ground for them and in time I'm sure it will break down and… Continue reading August Garden

Camping Weekend
This was our first camping trip this year, the weather is cool during the day and cold at night. My dad didn't particular care for this lot since it sits on the hill, but Easter weekend was packed and we're fortunate to get any spot at all. I told him it's a good exercise, not… Continue reading Camping Weekend
Spring Flowers
I didn't take as many spring flowers this year, and the flower trees that bloomed at the nursing home last Fall also bloomed again last week, but I didn't have a chance to stop by to take photo. These are the photos that I took at my dad's house the last two weekends, I hope… Continue reading Spring Flowers
Spring Flowers
I had always looked forward to Spring Fest at Lee's school, and this year was special since it was her last year at this elementary school. I can't believe how much she has grown, the image below was her first day in kindergarten and she was 5 year old. I will miss going to Spring… Continue reading Spring Flowers
Fall Blossoms
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXTYR9rl34o I drove passed the Lutheran Home on Spring Road in Hickory yesterday and couldn't believe my eyes when I saw rows of pink flower trees. I kept thinking what could be blooming at this time of the year? I stopped by today to photograph, and sure enough they were the crab apple trees. This… Continue reading Fall Blossoms
Camping Weekends
We went camping on Memorial weekend, and also the weekend after. The Memorial weekend was cold and the campground packed with campers. It really gives you the feeling of what camping is all about. I think Lee is enjoying the camping life more this year in comparison to last year. Max loved camping. I'm not… Continue reading Camping Weekends
Assignment 25: My Photography Passion
This is my contribution to Scott's Assignment 25: Your Photography Passion. I have to say that I photograph everything around me whether it be plants, nature, people or events. I am a gardener and I love to photograph plants, it's fascinating to see how fast they grow from week to week. I photographed my garden… Continue reading Assignment 25: My Photography Passion
Saturday Random Photos at My Dad’s House
My sister made Bamboo shoot soup for lunch, it's a tradition Lao food and fresh bamboo shoot tasted a lot better than the ones from the can. It has been raining, and the dark gloomy day is not all bad for photography. I think it made the colors more vibrant and I actually like it… Continue reading Saturday Random Photos at My Dad’s House
PaNoy’s Garden
I didn't have a chance to visit PaNoy's Garden this year, and he is nice enough to email me photos of his garden to share. All photos were taken by PaNoy. PaNoy said "it's been a warm winter so I got things on the grown sooner than previous years. I plan on leaving the banana… Continue reading PaNoy’s Garden
Nesting Season
I'm not as discipline in posting as I used to be, and it seems like I'm catching up in posting my photos. Some of these photos were taken almost three weeks ago, but I guess posting it late is better than never. It's nesting season for the birds in our area, this mother Robin built… Continue reading Nesting Season
My Garden Update
It has been a week since I added more plants to my garden and the weather has gotten a lot warmer, I think we finally get over our cold spell. There is still a lot of work to be done, and I'll be busy gardening in the next few weeks. The photos were taken early… Continue reading My Garden Update
Saturday Random Photos
The weather has gotten a lot warmer this weekend, it was kind of crazy the last few days where we still had overnight frosts and sleet some during the day. I stopped by the local nursery to buy some young plants on Saturday, the seedlings from last year was not a good experience and didn't… Continue reading Saturday Random Photos
