Just Another Sunset

I love photographing sunset! I wanna chase its beauty. The orange horizon, the gradient it gives that makes me WOW! so mesmerizing.

Here's another share taken from Centennial Park, the sun has started to set at around 5:00pm.

This weekend I'm planning to have another sunset hunt along the Iligan Bay and i just hope I can catch a perfect one.

Have a Nice Day Friends!

Who Wants some Beefsteaks?

Don’t be fooled by the title guys, most likely it implies food right?

Buzzzzzz WRONG!

Today I won’t be posting and talking about food but rather an annual plant called a “beefsteak plant”.

Beefsteak plant grows form 1-3 feet tall and is incredibly adaptable in both sun and shade. These attractive foliage offers beautifully variegated leaves great for containers, beds and borders on landscape.

Where did I got this one? hmmm Ah! One of my shots at Cagayan de Oro Botanical Garden infront of Lim Ket Kai MAll.

Simply Colorful! Enjoy!

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....
