Hi all...

Here I wish all of the mothers in the world have a great mothers day...just like the one that I have. :D

My 8 years old son has been planning this day for month... and he did it very well consider this year he have to do it on his own without my husband's help (he is in business trip)... First thing in the morning, I got woken up by the smell of my breakfast in bed... well.. what do you know, is Kaya (coconut) sandwishes, hey, that's my favotite... :D then I got hand over a big present!!! WOW.. present!!! A big glass cookies jar!!! but my favorite present is his handmade card to me! Nice! then I get told that I was invited to go and sit next to his kayboard, another suprise, my son played me a "good morning mummy" and a "happy mothers day" (originally from Happy birthday) song, how special is that... but that's not all... we are going out to the mall and he is going to buy me a coffee!!! Well, the rest I would have to pay, after all, he never get any allowance or pocket money, is the money from his aunt and grandma on his last birthday that he save up, I am already feeling sooooo spoil!

More to come, he is cooking dinner! I said WOW!!! He pretend he is speaking in French and tell me what the menu is... lol... Is Roast Chicken, mesh potato, fruit/veg salad, and of cos Veg soup and banana split for desert!!! Gosh, how spoil can I be? My son spoil me to bit! :D I am just so thrill... Of cos during his cooking, he is not allow to use any of the sharp knife, and with my supervision when he is cooking the soup, I am just next to him. :D But this is all part of the fun for both of us, he is so proud of himself, and we have his grand mother and one of our close family friend over to share this special dinner.

Everyone have such a great time, he is such a great host, he even take our order one by one on how we like our banana split to be... :D It is a fantastic day for me, before he went to bed, he asked me "mummy, did you have a good day today? did I do well?" and for me(nick name of water bucket)" tears in my eyes and reply "thank you my son, you done awesome!!! You make my day very very special and for me to remember years and years to come!" very special for us both indeed.


So here I wish that everyone of you as a mother, to have a great mothers day, and for those who are not a mothers, pick up the phone; call your mum or even better, show her how much you love her by be there with her.

To my mother and mother in law, Happy mothers day!


--------------------------------------
Took this flower sometime last year in one of the garden I visited. I know it s a bit on the soft side but I think it is just right for this special day! Don't you? :D

Thank you all for looking, have a wonderful day ahead no matter where you are. :D

Hello Sweety! Amazing flowers. Wonderful colors. Good lightness. Very good sharp and focus. Nice shot. Good luck!

Happy Mothers Day to you Sweety, you have a wonderful son. You must be so proud of him.

This is such a pretty flower Sweety. Thank you. . . Lovely colours and a beautiful composition.

It sounds like you had a very special day today, and Zak spoilt you so much. That is lovely. How exciting for him and for you too.

We went out for brunch / lunch today - 20 of us!! It was so exciting to have all the family together.

Cheers

Hello Sweety,
What your son did on Mother's Day for you is just the sweetest! I received the usual handmade cards (perhaps this year's was made with more initiative), but I could just melt only even with Kaya sandwiches in bed!
Beautiful composition of the bright red flower.
Beautiful tribute for mother's day. Petals and stamen captured are very sharp. Simply lovely.
Thanks for sharing the shot and the lovely note.

Best regards,
Sharina

Hello Sweety,
This is a bit back in time, but the colour contrast is very eye-catching!
the silky-crisp details in the petals are well recorded, and the point of view works well...
Good sense of depth, as the DoF isolates the subject well!
Greetings,
Pablo -

Hi Sweety,
interesting contrast between the greens and reds. Nice saturation and visual impact.
Well done Sweety.

Best regards, Daniel
