I can't believe almost half a year flew by and my last post was in April, which means I have missed posting in May. My only excuse is working, most companies are now working toward going lean. Our company is working toward that, which means cross-training employees in another job function and cutting back employees.… Continue reading My Backyard Garden
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
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
It's two weeks before Mother's Day, and the Azalea flowers are blooming. Our family call this a Mother's Day flower because we used to live in New York and the Azalea flowers bloom around Mother's day. It's sad that my mom didn't live long enough to see this, perhaps she is admiring it from haven.… Continue reading Saturday Random Photos
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
It's nice to finally spend the weekend at home again. We have been away a lot camping this Summer and hope to catch a few more camping trips before the season is over. Today is a beautiful morning, but not so much for my garden neighbor's garden. I often heard gardening being compared to life,… Continue reading My Garden Update
It has been a while since I updated my garden and this year my pickle cucumbers didn't do too well and I was surprised to see one grew in the middle of the garden. My sweet basil is doing well, I planted some in pots and a few in raised bed. The cherry tomato plants… Continue reading Mid Summer Garden
It looks like I have a garden neighbor. I would never have thought that he's a gardener, he smokes and watches TV all day. He lives on the other side and plants his garden in one of the neighbors' yard. I thought it was kind of odd, here he has to pass my house to… Continue reading My Garden in Early June
This year many gardeners have faced various damages to their crops, whether it was a nature disaster of hail storm in the Midwest that we have heard on the news. Or fury little creatures that come to visit our garden. My dad and sister was devastated when the little rabbit came to visit their garden… Continue reading Saturday Random Photos
I went out to feed my fish this morning, the garden looks so peaceful in the early morning hour. I didn't have time to take picture, but couldn't resist and here are a few snap shots of my garden this morning. Snow peas Beans Sunflowers Sweet Basil Gardenia All photos were taken with Canon T2i,… Continue reading Golden Hour
Someone has been visiting my garden and nibbling on my flowers and vegetables. I have been keeping an eye on it and sure enough Saturday morning he visited again, and this time eating my marigold flowers. He saw me and was trying to hide behind the flower bush. The chipmunk was there also, Bo said… Continue reading Saturday Random Photos
Before I start my Saturday Random Photos, or some might call it Saturday ranting photos, I like to wish all the wonderful mothers out there a very Happy Mother's Day. I have not posted my mother's orchid in a while and it's not doing too well this year. My sister needs to re-pot it soon,… Continue reading Saturday Random Photos
We were fortunate to have good rainfalls and thank goodness the April frosts didn't do any damage to my young plants. Lee was busy digging away. The look on her face when she saw her bird house. I don't know who is trying to build a nest. It is a lot of stuff trying to… Continue reading My Garden May 10, 2012
This is my contribution to Karma’s When I Feel Like It Blog’s April Photo Hunt. This month's hunt is to get to know us a little bit better, and she has two objectives in this month’s choice: 1) to give you a creative spark and 2) to find out more about you! Karen is asking… Continue reading Favorites Photography – April Photo Hunt
I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. My sister Bee brought her new puppy to my dad's house yesterday to play, both my second sister and dad said that it is ugly. I'm not sure if they meant literary. See, it is a custom for Laotian to say something is ugly when… Continue reading Saturday Random Photos
