This is a lovely Wedding Anniversary Gift I got more than two months ago. One of the buds finally bloomed more than a week ago. I just couldn't resist capturing this special moment.
"Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory." - Dr. Seuss
Ps: this is SOOC. The new bloom looked greenish for the first few days before turning white.
The Shenyang Olympic Sports Center Stadium (沈阳奥林匹克体育中心) opened in 2007 and was originally built as a multipurpose stadium to replace the older Wulihe Stadium (五里河体育场) which was demolished in 2007 and replaced by - a shopping mall (well, what else in modern China... 😋).
The stadium was finally named "Olympic Sports Center Stadium" after it hosted a couple football matches during the 2008 Summer Olympics.

LE CULTE DE LA ROSE**
Célébrant une fleur,c'est un hymne à la femme
Que Bécaud a chanté avec toute son âme.
Suscitant le désir, elle engendre la vie,
Quand, semblable à la rose, elle s'épanouit.
Déesse de l'amour, fascinante et féconde,
Elle est indispensable à la survie du monde.
Èros, dieu puissant qui incarnait l'amour
Agit, différemment, sans doute, de nos jours.
Cette splendide fleur que l'on appelle rose,
Doit être protégée, en bouton ou éclose.
Des hommes la célèbrent et vantent ses attraits,
Pour vénérer la femme en des rites secrets.
La rose est l'important,nous affirma Bécaud.
Il loua cette fleur symbolique, tout haut.
Elle nous apparaît,reine par sa beauté
Et déesse accomplie de la fécondité.

I remember deciding to try this on on the spur of the moment one night, as it had hung in my wardrobe for months with the tags still on. I didn't really think much of it at the time...

Theme: Portrait
This is my wife and baby girl. This shot was taken at the maternity ward, Gleneagles Hospital, 2 days after delivery. We were supposed to be discharged in a few hours, and we were just sitting around waiting for the discharge papers to come. The daylight was streaming into the room through the orange curtains, giving the room a soft glow, even though it was midday and the sunlight outdoors was most likely quite harsh. I liked the lighting, set up the chairs in the room against the windows, got wifey to pose and position Arin (that's me daughter's name:), and I had a shot within 5 minutes, from concept to realization.
I submitted this for the Great Eastern "Life is Great" Photo Competition and got a consolation prize out of 2000+ entries! :-)
