    Sonia, bom domingo.
    Sem querer ser indiscreto, mas diante de tantas fotos lindíssimas, você poderia me revelar (se quiser, poderá fazê-lo via e-mail para não se configurar como propaganda) oa marca de sua câmera, modelo etc?
    Falei da sua câmera que deve ser maravilhosa, mas claro, sem tirar o mérito da autoria das fotos, e dos objetos retratados que também são espetaculares.
    Beijos

    First time I see a lychee tree! Luckily I can get the fruit in Chinatown, but the fruit skin is never that red. They must taste divine right off the tree.

    Too bad most Theme Day participants won't see your great post (because your blog's address is not included in the HTML form that the Daily City Photo Blog site provides). I'll let you know via email what you have to do to get your blog listed.

    Cheers!

    Obrigada Adelino pela visita e alogios. Sobre a minha câmera, claro, com todo o prazer. Ela é uma
    Sony Digital, Modelo DSC-S40. O diferencial dela são as lentes, uma das melhores: Lentes
    CARL ZEISS    . Abraços!

    Sonia, complementando o meu comentário anterior, eu acho o flamboyant uma das árvores mais bonitas pelas flores que originam.
    Foi com uma pena muito grande que eu tive de mandar cortar um pé maravilhoso porque próximo a ele foi construída uma piscina. Nem quis ver quando a cortavam.
    Existe também o chamado flamboyantzinho, que está sendo muito plantado aqui nas ruas do Rio. Gostei daquelas explicações. Realmente é uma planta cujas sementes germinam com grande facilidade, e tem crescimento muito rápido.
    Gostei muito do post e das explicações. Bom domingo
    Beijos

    Lychees. That's really good, especially if you get the directly from the tree (which I have tried)!!! Lucky you are! Here in Paris, we ge them unfortunately mostly in a drier version, mostly imported from Madagascar. They seem not to support the long transport.

    Parabéns pelo VOTO das 7 Maravilhas. Com certeza esta é uma delas. Merecidíssima. A votação foi transferida da encerrar terçã as 23 horas de Portugal. E por terem sido tão grande a participação do Brasil, e blogs em espanhol, foram criadas mais duas categorias, uma para os brasileiros outra para espanhois. Mão a obra, e votar.Quando eu votei o regulamento só falava em blogs de portugal...e desta forma para eles foram meus 7 votos.


    Beijos.

    PS- Ler o regulamento antes de votar.

    You are lucky to have such a beautiful garden. Those fruits are called lycee and they cost about $5/kg in NYC.

    I'll shortly be doing my final update to the red theme post [with permalinks] and I'll include yours at http://hydedailyphoto.blogspot.com/2007/06/red.html

    I've heard of lychees but never really knew what they were.

    Olá!

    Mil desculpas por não ter voltado a visitar.Mas os últimos mês e meio têm sido um pouco confusos.Entretanto hoje voltei para descobrir as lindas fotos de Veneza e daquela paisagem serrana bem verde...que maravilha as fotos de Veneza! Eu não passo este ano sem comprar uma máquina fotográfica boa.Desde que fiquei sem a minha digital e por motivos de economia parei de fotografar.Tenho uma Olympus de rolo mas agora quero uma digital.Eu acostumei-me com essa marca, não sei se é boa ou má, comigo resultou: as fotos saiam lindinhas!Um abraço!

    Ah!!Também gostei de ver a tua família no Museu!:-)

    Sonia, como foi muito simpática em procurar saber notícias da assistencia da Dell, acabaram de sair, trocaram a placa mãe em 20 minutos, e já estou conectado. Eles são ótimos, (fora as 24 horas a mais, sem me notificar que atrasaria, que segundo o tecnico foi uma falha deles). Perdoavel.

    Thank you dear Sonia...I TOO Googled the stove and I came up with exactly what you did, too...A few other people did also....! I do dearly love this stove...There is something in the inside of it, behind the double doors...I haven't looked at whatever that is, in years....I am going to check that out and see if there was any clue there about when the stove was made...I'll let you know!
