«Jess | Musician Portraits»

A gorgeous autumn day like today was a perfect day for outdoor portraits, and that's exactly what Jess and I did. We went to Larz Anderson Park in Brookline and spent a morning there enjoying the fresh autumn scenery at different parts of the park while having a relaxing time experimenting with different styles and poses. The outcome was a success. I'm really satisfied with the result! A productive and satisfying day indeed for me as I got to practice my photo taking skills once again.

«VICTORIA + JASMINE»

You guessed it! They're twins. They can steal your heart in an instant. Gentle, kind, sweet, well behaved, considerate and smart...there can't be any more prefect girls to be found. As my privilege, these girls are also my piano students, who actually practice, at the age of 5. Wow! Can they be more angelic? Yes! If you get to hear their soft voices, they will melt your heart away completely.

«JAYAN, NISHA & JOSHUA | FAMILY PORTRAIT»

On a sunny Saturday morning, we headed to Larz Anderson Park in Brookline for some fun time and family photo shoot. Joshua was turning 2 years old very soon. How exciting right! I love this adorable family.

«HARVARD ARBORETUM»

Harvard University Arboretum once again for Tim and I, and for mom, first time.

The early spring air in the forest was so refreshing and youthful.



Mom was happy to be outside on a gorgeous Sunny day in Boston.



I particularly love this photo of her gentle smile.

I picked a favorite tree during this visit to take a picture of. The way the fog was casting down on the tree branches added to the mysteriousness of the reviving spirit of Spring in this serene spot.

«WEEKEND ROAD TRIP»

The temperature today is still low. The wind could still cut through into the bones. However, it doesn't matter, because Spring is here!!!

Tim and I took mom around New England.
First stop: Yale University

Second stop: Narragansett Beach, Rhode Island


Final stop before sunset:  Patriot Place, in Foxborough, Massachusetts.

Hurray to weekends!

«FINALLY»

Finally the rain stopped and the sun came out today. Oh, I can't tell you how good that made me feel this morning! Everybody came out of hibernation.

I had lunch and afternoon tea/coffee with Bess. Isn't she just gorgeous? The sun was hitting from a perfect angle into the coffee shop. I love this picture of her!


This one, I let the light bounced off the lens directly. It created a totally different affect. Oh can I just say again that today was SUCH a gorgeous day?

 After our little cozy tea hour, we went to meet these lovely couples for an afternoon tour around town.

They are too cute! ^^

And a nice day was made even better with ice cream. 

Ben and Brooke on the T.
BTW, T stands for "transit" aka subway in Boston. Today though, I saw this poster on the T, and it had a handwritten sentence on it that says, "T stands for terrible". Yup, very inefficient, accident-frequent,  unreliable, from the 80's (could be 70's) Boston T. Yay.....not.

Haha, but everybody was in a good mood. Why? Oh yah, because, the sun came up! Ok, I think you get my point. ^_~

«WHITE MOUNTAINS»

This past Saturday, four of us, as a double date, went to the White Mountains in New Hampshire. After the Hong Kong trip, getting out in the wild was exactly what we needed. No buildings, no walls, no neon lights, no advertisements and billboards, just simply nature itself: the sun, the snow, the mountains, the water, the trees, the birds, the rocks. Oh so so different.

Ben is a wildlife biologist, and Brooke is a classical violist. They're so much fun to hang out with. Look at Brooke dipping her entire face into the snow and creating an imprint. The snowman smiley-face on a fork is an art work fashioned by my handsome hubby's creative hands. ^^



We passed by a brook on one of our hikes. Look at how clear that water is. I wanted to touch it and play with the pebbles, but I refrained from doing so thinking that I might contaminate it in some way like how we human beings are destroying this planet we call home. Soon, there won't be anything like the White Mountains for us to enjoy. Everything will be exploited and ruined. It's true. I am usually very optimistic about life in general, but when it comes to this issue, call me a pessimist, but I think sooner or later, we're going to run out of natural resources, and the world might end sooner than we think by chemicals that we created, which will ultimately end up killing us. Have you seen the documentaries that are nominated for the Oscars this year? You really should. After that you can disagree with me if you want to.



So enjoy it while we can, for we don't know if our descendants will get to see it or not. I want to keep these pictures to show my grandchildren what nature is like. Who knows what kind of world they'll be living in when they come around...



Finally, a picture of the love birds. ^^
