A Misty Waterfalls

The sun was burning hot on Sunday mid-morning onwards, I browsed the internet and played farmtown in facebook although the room feels like an oven, played poker with my friend Nice until we decided to spend the rest of the day at the pool and plunge ourselves on the cold water. So we contacted the rest of the gang and around 2pm were off to the cold spring water of Timoga Swimming Pools.

After arriving at Mimar's Springway, we explored the place and noticed this flowing water coming directly from the spring and cascading downwards, (but of course! LOL) a short waterfalls, cold water bouncing on the big rocks.

I’ve seen this kind of photos before but I thought this can’t be captured using a DSLR camera, I thought the pictures I’ve seen before were edited, until last Sunday I finally had a practice shot of a “misty” water falls and finally believed that my camera although an entry level DSLR can already do wonders.

Hope you like it too..
Leave your comments please and I really appreciate constructive criticisms.
Thanks!

Scraps from Freebies

I finally decided to make a personal scrap after many months of rest from photoshop exploring. I made this scrap using layers of gradients as “background” sort of paper and the elements are downloaded freebies from snappy scrappy on a 5x7 paper layout. Though the color is a bit in contrast with the water, but I still think it looks great. LOL

My Treat

This week seems to be a very busy week for us, especially our group "Operations Planning" and "Dispatching". The existing power system situation here in our area, power shortage and forecast for tomorrow and Sunday are driving us nuts. The Dispatchers are depended to our output, our group did the planning and simulation of power curtailment for this weekend where as the Dispatching will be the one to implement it. (Oopps sorry guys if I'm being technical here...) It is expected that this weekend we will be experiencing brownout that means I have to find a place to escape the hot weather this weekend. huh!

Anyways, to compensate our hard work today I'll be the one to treat you a yummy dinner!

chicken barbeque, salad and of course rice.

Enjoy my treat! Hugs!

Picnic and Sunset at the Centennial Park

I've been posting mostly flower photos these days it is because flowers seems to be my most popular subject. I enjoyed pointing my camera on them, what more if I already have my macro lens hehehe then I can go more on detail.

But anyways I’ll take a rest on flower-posting today and I’ll share to you one of sun’s faces during the setting period. This photo was taken last Monday, when my friends and I decided to spend an afternoon at Centennial Park in Dalipuga, Iligan City, Philippines.

I was really excited because I’ll be shooting another sunset. The sun was bright and the sky is clear at around 3PM when we left home, I was hoping for the same when we arrived at the park but too bad the clouds are angry. The clouds are too dark and it covered my most awaited sunset. Whaaaaaaaah…

So we had our picnic instead, with our “baon” snacks tuna sandwich made by our personal caterer Joven hehehe paired with softdrinks and other “chichirya” junk foods.

Then I had a glimpse of the sun still partially covered with clouds. Finally I had a slightly contented heart for now for having this shot taken.
cool! enjoy!

Yellow for Freedom

Today is the 40^th death day of Former President Corazon C. Aquino the “Mother of Philippine Democracy”. To commemorate the day I chose to post this flower because of its bright yellow color that symbolizes freedom and unity.

Yellow was the color used during the 1986 EDSA People Power uprising that brought down Former President Ferdinand Marcos 20-year dictatorship.

And it so happen that I’m attracted to Yellow. My wedding motif was also yellow and I owned several yellow shirts. LOL

Ooopss sorry I do not know the name of this flower yet… I’ll research first and post again soon....

Flower 101 - Lantana

One of the commonly seen flowers anywhere is Lantana, I did not know its name until today while browsing the internet and came across the Better Homes and Gardens website.

Lantana is said to be a surviving plant it can thrive even with little moisture and hot sunny weather.

The picture I got was one of the brightly colored flowers Lantana can offer.

I

More to come if I come across other shades of Lantana.

A Visit at the Divine Mercy Shrine

On our way home from Cagayan de Oro City, Joel, Jessie, Nice and I decided to pass by and visit the Divine Mercy Shrine in Municipality of El Salvador. The 50 foot statue of Jesus Christ stands at the Ulaliman Hills overlooking the Macajalar Bay in Misamis Oriental, Philippines, it is the place of pilgrimage of the Divine Mercy devotees.

As a sacred site, visitors are not allowed wear to shorts or any skin revealing clothes. It so happened that we went there wearing shorts, so the guard gave as skirts and asked us to wear it while inside the shrine.

The site also is said to have healing water coming from a 280 feet deep well and just by drinking it can heal your soul.
