Ahhh… the flower trees lining up the Sothearos Boulevard are in full bloom. My apologies because I know I have not the captured it on camera well enough but it is truly a marvelous sight! A welcome sight and very pleasant to the eyes despite the hustle-bustle of passing vehicles.If you are planning to visit Cambodia, this is the best time of the year, when weather is dry, the sun is out all the time and the summer flowers are in full bloom. These yellow flower-trees are called pkah reach.

I’ve been attempting to capture the beautiful flower trees along Sihanouk, Monivong, and Norodom Boulevards and in our area in Tuol Kok but so far, I have not been successful. And I’m really disappointed. I think it’s really time for me to invest on a DSLR. I’ve been using a point-and-shoot digicam for years now (if you see it you’ll think it’s from the jurassic period! LOL.) that it’s about time I level up my gadget 🙂

That’s what I thought about Max when I first saw her in this situation. If you look at this photo, you’d agree with me. She didn’t move to another spot but laid there sleeping. But then again, I caught her sun-bathing many times in our veranda. She must have loved the sunshine despite her long, thick coat. I think this is a perfect entry for Shadow Shot Sunday 🙂

This is how Phnom Penh looks like today, on the third and last day of the Khmer New Year celebrations. Most of the people who live and work in Phnom Penh are from the provinces and the Khmer New Year is one big excuse for an exodus back to their hometowns to celebrate the occasion with their families and relatives. The roads are virtually empty and this is one of rare moments that we enjoy the peace and quiet. Come Monday, it will soon be back to the normal hustle-bustle in the capital.
