Stopping by the road in between long drive is one worthy rest especially when you have with you your camera.

Ampalaya Flower

  January Zelene       3:23 PM       Flower 101 , Macro Monday , Mellow Yellow Monday , Today's Flower       12 comments    

Have you seen an ampalaya flower?


Amplaya is the local name of Momordica charantia widely known as the bitter gourd or bitter melon in English. 



The flower is too pretty, who would believe that a vine with pretty flower like this will bear a warty looking fruit and with bitter taste.


bitter gourd - picture not mine.

Droplets After the Rain

  January Zelene       6:26 PM       Nature Footstep Water , Rain , Water World Wednesday       4 comments    

Dark sky, cold winds, pouring rain that's how it was yesterday. We had to stay indoor the whole day because of continuous rain.   


Today the sun had finally smiled and greeted us with a very beautiful morning. What had remained are rain droplets on plants and any other surfaces outdoor just like the photo above.

Green Bulby Weeds

  January Zelene       7:37 AM       Macro Monday , Weeds       6 comments    

 “Every garden may have some weeds”
 And weeds also have hidden beauties like these green bulby thing growing in the rice field. 

 
 


I took these photos at my husband's hometown, in Cabanglasan Bukidnon. These weeds had grown in the rice paddies infront of my in-laws house.

The Soccer Field

  January Zelene       6:13 AM       Clouds and Skies , Landscape , Skywatch Friday , Travel Destination       7 comments    

With vast green areas in Bukidnon, every scenery are simply beautiful. Just like this playing field in Manolo Fortich, green grass, blue sky, fluffy clouds it's so glorious. This how beautiful the weather was in Central Mindanao last November 1, 2012 during our trip to Bukidnon.


This soccer field is located at the back of Binalot Restuarant at Manolo Fortich, the place where we usually stop over for lunch, whenever we travel to Bukidnon.

Koi Fishes in the Pond

I spotted these Koi fishes in the pond. I enjoy watching them, but I don't think I can take care of them, because I'm too lazy to try.

Potted Dendrobiums

  January Zelene       4:52 PM       Close Up Shots , Flower 101 , Macro Monday , Mellow Yellow Monday , Today's Flower       7 comments    

I spotted these potted orchids for sale at Robinsons in Lim Ket Kai Mall. I wanted to grow orchids and hopefully to multiply them and will soon have an orchid garden our own home, in our own front yard.
 

I was attracted with the different varieties of dendrobium orchids displayed, with sudden impulse I chose and bought two of them at P195.00 each. 


Of course, I chose those that have seedlings with them.




With all the colors available, I picked up these colors;

red maroon


and this tiger-liked dendro

Soon I'll get the other colors too, but before that I have to observe first how these orchids will bloom in my hands.

Orange Sky at Cabanglasan

  January Zelene       4:54 PM       bukidnon , Canon 60D , Skywatch Friday , sunset       9 comments    

This is how sunset looks like beyond the coconut trees and mountains of Bukidnon, taken in front of my inlaws home at Cabanglasan Bukidnon.



Orange sky, just a perfect sunset on a perfect weather. I'm glad I was able to snap this scene the moment we arrived at Cabanglasan because the following day the sun was covered with dark skies and pouring rain.

Video Conversion

  January Zelene       8:16 PM       Review       No comments    

Special moments like birthday celebrations, weddings, anniversaries, travels and even everyday activities of our life particularly the growing stages of our children are worth remembering. Our miniDV video camera had been with us through thick and thin recording every special moment that we had.

Now our problem is the storage of those miniDV tapes and keeping them free from damage and playable after so many years because videotapes deteriorate over time. I think conversion video is the only way to preserve these memorable videos. Transferring them into DVD that can be played anytime using any dvd players or converting them into avi files is definitely a great idea.

Recently, I stumbled upon a website that does converts home videos into DVD, Blu-ray, avi files, HD-AVI, ProRes 422 and DPX. Depending upon the quality of video tapes, these video experts will do their best to convert your home videos into the highest quality possible.  

Aside from videotapes (VHS, VHS-C, 8mm, Hi8, Digital 8 and MiniDV ), these professionals also perform video conversions from 8mm, Super 8, 16mm, 35mm film into DVD, Blu-ray, avi files, HD-AVI, ProRes 422 and DPX using the world's best professional motion picture film scanners and Datacine machines.

Video Conversion Experts commonly performs transfer of film into DVD especially those from 8mm film. Considering the size of the film, converting them into DVD is the most challenging and their high definition transfer can capture every detail possible.

Video Conversion Experts is not only known of their services on high end film conversion but also for their restoration technologies that they use, making their services the best in the business.

Try Video Conversion Experts and experience their professionalism anytime because their services are available throughout United States and all around the world. Check out their website for more information.

Red Hibiscus at My In-Law's Frontyard

  January Zelene       7:34 AM       Flower 101 , Nature Footstep Water , Ruby Tuesday , Water World Wednesday       9 comments    

This red hibiscus plant had been on my in-laws front yard for many years already. I've seen her years back when we visited hubby's hometown at Cabanglasan, Bukidnon, Philippines. I should have photographed her then, but unfortunately I don't own a DSLR that time, and using a point and shoot camera to take her photo had never came into my mind. 



Two years ago, I was able to take her photo using my Canon 1000D camera on her very early stage. A bud that is so beautiful, fresh and waiting to bloom on her own. You can check it here.

Last Friday, we spent our long holiday at my in-laws place. As always these pretty plant never fails to give us beautiful blooms.


I photographed her after the rain this time using a Canon 60D DSLR, but looks like the rain drops were taken in by the petals. You have to look at it carefully for you to see the water.

Is She a Ladybug?

  January Zelene       8:12 AM       Close Up Shots , insects , Macro Monday , Mandarin Orange Monday       15 comments    

I met this little fellow at my in-laws place in Bukidnon, with the surrounding rice fields and sugarcane fields you'll really get to see many insects around. And I happened to spot this tiny beetle while photographing weeds and flowers in the area.

 
I wonder if this is a ladybug? Accordingly ladybugs have spots on their backs, but thus that color black on this little fellow's back looks like a spot or a strip? What do you think?
