Thanks… dear CY, for the wonderful birthday celebration (candles included ;)) at Plaza by the Park last evening 😀
“Am I The Handsomest Of Them All?”
This was intended to be my entry for Photo Friday‘s challenge on “Vanity”. I missed the submission deadline by a couple of hours though :(. Anyway, this picture was taken in November 2003 when I visited Swan Bells in Perth, Western Australia. Despite having to attend a conference by 9am, I managed to sneak out some time at about 6am to take some pictures. I was greeted by brilliant lighting even at such an early hour, and was rewarded with this shot.
Meanwhile, do check back again in a few days’ time for a new guestblogger’s entry 🙂
Hyacinthus orientalis
It has been become customary for my parents to shop for flowers to decorate the house for Chinese New Year… and for me to take pictures of them for posterity 🙂 This time round, we bought hyacinths. I came home from work on the first day of the New Year to find my dad sitting out in the yard taking pictures of these flowers. Joining him for a short while (before I took a much-needed nap), I took the above picture with the aid of a reflector and a piece of black card.
