Beginning of Summer/初夏

5-15-08

Finally the weather is getting warmer... I prefer being in coldness though
it's already mid-May and until yesterday it was still cool! WTF!! Every morning, I always take a
time and think what to wear, and worry if it's gonna be cold when I'm done working
and go home. Now I don't have to. :) I heard the heat wave is coming in this weekend.
One of my great friends is having a birthday picnic at Griffth Park on this Sat., and
I am kinda worried if we are not going to thirst and dying on the grass...


After working out at Curves, I usually take around 15- 20min to go home by walking.
It was such a lovely evening. I had to take some photos.

It's hitting by the sunset and looks so pretty.
I think they are prime rose? Not sure...
The purple one you see next to the rose is called
"Jacaranda". I just learned this name today from
my another great friend "Junee"'s blog "Neko-Chan City".

今日はやーーっと５月らしくなってきたというか仕事が終わってビルからでた途端、とても暖かく、気持ちよかったー。昨晩も出かけたせいで、今朝から疲れが取れずに超眠かったし、仕事の後もずーっと歩きながらジムに行く、行かないと自分との戦いでやっと悪魔に勝った私はジムで30分汗を流した後、こんなきれいなごほうびをもらいました。


It was around 7PM already but still had some traffic jam on Franklin Ave.

もうすでに夜の７時を回っていたのに、まだこんなに明るかった。サンセットの日差しがとてもきれいだったので、思わずぱちり。






I stopped by at Junee's house on the way going home since she lives so close from my house.
I just had to see her cats (Mr. Myaogi, and Cleo) how much they have grown. With Elephant cap, Mr. Myaogi doesn't complain much but he seems to think... "WTF is this?? I am not your entertainer!!" That's why he gets to be a bad boy! He is sooooo cute with it though.

ぷらぷら歩いて家へ帰る途中、友人のじゅんちゃんの家がすぐそこにあるので、ちょろっと立ち寄ってみました。みすたーみゃおぎとクレオの２匹も出迎えて（？）くれましたが、すぐにクレオはカウチの下に潜り込んで隠れちゃった。。。みゃおぎの方はこの象のかぶりもので、私の胸をきゅーーんとさせてくれます。


This is Cleo's hand... She didn't want to come out after all...

これ、くれおちゃんの手。手だけ出てるちゅーことは！？これでも、もてなしてくれてるつもり？かわいーから許しちゃおうか！








This is the last shot of the day. Before I went to Petco,
and Target to get some stuffs, I had to take this last moment of sunset. Someone told me this is "Magic" moment.

夜、ペットコとターゲットへ買い出しに行く前、アパートから出たらこんな夜景になる寸前のショットをゲットできました。あるカメラマンが教えてくれたのがこの「夜になる寸前」は「マジックモーメント」ということ。ブルー、オレンジ、イエロー、黒、、、色んな色が生えてみえてくる。
