作文

Today I was happy to have a short trip with my mum together. It was a long time even several years ago since I had a trip with mum. We drove to 20 kilometers away from city center to suburban area for watching blooms in the temple. I did shot a lot of nice photos to my mum because I want to give her beautiful memories at her 60’s . After that I collected all the photos to make a video album for her that can be browsed online at anytime.
