Spring Garden Cleanup

It's warm enough to work outside now and I've been busy cleaning the garden. It's nice and privacy to live in a wooded lot but certainly a lot of work having to clear the leaves around the house, otherwise we'll get a lot of slithering visitors. I saw several in the garden and most are baby brown…

Country Living Update

It has been a year since we moved to the country, and my garden is coming together slowly. Last weekend I cleared the path to the garden, it must have been 20 years worth of leaves that were at least half a foot high. There are trashes and building materials left over from the previous…

Spring is in the air

It's the end of January and might be too early for Spring in most area, I guess for us also just last week we had snow. The countryside came to a halt, and no work and school for most of us. I certainly don't mind getting stuck here. As I was taking this picture below,…

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…

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…

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…

Camping Weekend

It's nice to comeback to a familiar place and if the woods could talk it's probably would greet me with a smile and ask where have you been Nye? I didn't know you hibernate like the bears. This is my first time seeing an antenna looking like an outer space craft. The mountain flowers are…

Spring Flowers = Allergy Season

Depending on who you are this Season vary from people to people.  It might be Spring season to many, but if you are a tax accountant then it's Tax Season and forget about seeing the light of the day until after April 15th.  As for most of us, it's Allergy Season and seeing this much…

Saturday Random Photos at My Dad’s House

[vimeo http://vimeo.com/62007452 w=560&h=315] Some of the Spring flowers at my dad's house are blooming. These were budding last weekend and now they are in full bloom. The Sakura flowers finally bloomed. Lee levitating, I know kind of late for Spring forward. She was attempting to teach her aunt Bee to levitate. Not exactly Levitating, but I…

Spring is finally here

It finally feels like Spring in our area, and the peach blossoms are blooming in my backyard. She was pretty far away and busy trying to feed her babies. Photos were taken with Canon 5DMkIII, EF70-200mm f/4L USM lens

Saturday Random Photos

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…

Biltmore April 1, 2012

[vimeo http://vimeo.com/39823775 w=515&h=290] I apologize for so many photos, it is impossible to take a few shots when you are at Biltmore. I will miss visiting this place in the summer, but hope to spend more time camping with my family. Lee will miss their Margarita Pizza the most. I'm sure she will miss their gift…
