Rosebud

Because my travel blog is currently talking about my vacation with mom in Pangasinan last July, my Ruby Tuesday photo for today was taken from that vacation as well.

This is a not-so-good shot of one of the very few rosebuds in my Aunt Rosa's garden. When grandpa was still alive, Aunt Rosa took care of him, but seeing her father bedridden saddened my Aunt, so using the land around their house, she planted lots of different flowering plants to cheer her up.

There weren't that much flowers in the garden, two strong typhoons visited their place that destroyed some of the plants, but this rose managed to have some buds, and of course, I didn't take it for granted. =)

When we were there last November (2007), they were at first interested why we (brother and I) take lots of pictures of their garden and animals, but I guess they already embraced the fact that we loved taking pictures of anything that fancies us, in fact, Aunt Rosa's husband (Uncle Marcial) even guided me to some of their flowers so I could take pictures of it, too! =)
