The Real Kite

If only I am a bird I could have explored the world.

 

While the children were trying to fly the kites that my SIL had bought for them, a real kite, the Brahminy Kite soared above them.  These medium-sized bird of prey are quite abundant in the province of 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.

The Little Flyer

While on board a RORO (roll-on roll of) vesselto Island Garden City of Samal, I saw a lot of little flyers diving into the water.

I chose one to point my lens at, and this little guy is the lucky one. I've waited for him to do his thing, he flew mighty and proud before hitting the water and to catch his prey.


But because I don't have a powerful lens with me this is the only shot I got when he lunged into the deep blue sea.


Was he able to catch his prey? I did not saw it clearly... In he did not, I know he'll do the routine over and over again.

Monochrome Entry # 1 - Lady Duck

While doing my blog walking I discovered another photo theme that interest me that is the Monochrome Weekly Theme. I explored the site and seen so many beautifully shot monochromes, so I decided to join the fun and share mine photos too.

So as my first entry, here is a lady duck enjoying the fresh scent of the lake. This photo was taken near our home in Zamboanga City. I was familiarizing my camera then and luckily got this shot. I did some experiments on the picture and as a result a very charming monochrome, my first ever monochrome photo.

Hope you like it too...
Have a great week!

A lucky day for us because we're able to witness 2 new kids (baby goat) being born.

Home to Bukidnon Part 2 - Bird Watching

I woke up at 6am on Saturday morning (a very early waking time for me on a weekend), went outside and savored the cold mountain breeze after a whole night of rain.

I noticed these group of small birds resting on an electrical wire infront of my husband's parents home.
No time to lose I hurriedly went back inside the house and grab my camera and started my shooting on anything activity for the day.

Using a Sigma telephoto lens I was able to catch these bunch of little birds relaxing after their tiresome flights.
