Picking up my first cherry

Sunday, May 10, 2009 4:56:37 AM

, , , ,


I visited Quoc's house this morning. Quoc is a friend that I got to know around a year ago. I had a great time admiring his drawings, and eating a cherry picked up directly from the tree. It tasted so sweet, so ...cherries. I remember eating the first cherry when I enjoyed ice cream with my dearest one old afternoon. I was eager to try my first cherry but I was so disappointed as the cherry wasn't like a cherry that I thought. I then learned from my dearest that it was a preserved one. No wonder, the taste was so ...chemical.


And this morning, I ate a very first cherry that I myself picked up from the tree. I touched the fruit - the round and juicy one, and felt the cool and smoothness on the finger tips. There were red, yellow and green cherries. Some hiding themselves in the leaves, some shining in the sun. The pink and white flowers among the green leaves are so noticeable although they are very tiny and fragile.

At Quoc’s house, I felt comfortable on the sofa by the window that looks into a small garden. It’s just a narrow but so lovely corner to enjoy the soft sunlight of the morning kissing on the violet water-lillies, or admire the moon overlooking the fish coming up to touch a bit of the sky in the shallow pond.

The desire of owning a garden sparkling in my mind recalled the day my dearest and myself passing by the garden houses near where we stayed, and dreaming of affording one.

I was planned to buy a nikon DSLR weeks ago, dreaming to snap the minor beauties like you. wish you record the true life the normal Vietnamese is leading, you are so lovely.

Huong Lan Tuesday, May 12, 2009 1:11:33 PM

I can't wait to see some photos from you, Zhouye. I'd love to have a Nikon as well (Nikon D80 or D90). yeah, it's fun to capture the moments in our daily life. Thanks for your kind comment. smile

Yveszhouye.ah Wednesday, May 13, 2009 2:32:50 AM

I was planned.

Now I must invest all my money back home for other use, all I have now is a NOKIA 2630, a poor 0.3 megapixel camera.mad

I thought D90 is quite good, or D5000, both excellent!

Huong Lan Wednesday, May 13, 2009 6:38:57 AM

I see. Don't be sad. I think you afford a Nikon soon. And hopefully so do I. bigsmile
