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.

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.

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.

Artificial Waterfalls

I shot his artificial waterfalls at Apo View Hotel in Davao City. I was trying to make the water look misty but I don't have my tripod with me. This is the last setting that my hands can hold without shaking the camera.

Tagum City: Lanikai Resort

January Zelene 8:20 PM Beaches and Seas , Nature Footstep Water , Travel Destination , Water World Wednesday 12 comments

Inside Hijo Plantation in Tagum City, Davao del Norte is the Lanikai Resort, the chosen venue of the quarterly coordination meeting with the generators.

"A vacation spot designed to be serene and exclusive". Indeed, the place indeed is peaceful and good for relaxation.

Although I wasn't able to explore the whole area because of limited time but at least I managed to take some photos after our meeting.

the guesthouse

fresh air because of the surrounding large trees

long cemented pathway to the beach

I guess it's beautiful during high tide.

took this photo from the pathway

at the distance is the Hijo Port

finally the refreshing swimming pool

If only we had an overnight stay here, I could have seen how the sunrise or the sunset had looked like in this part of the world. And also the place, the beach might look differently during high tide.

One Sunny & Windy Afternoon

Men go abroad to wonder at the heights of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motions of the stars, and they pass by themselves without wondering.

This photo was taken one sunny and windy afternoon along the shore of Iligan Bay.
