From Two Festivals

Another two-in-one post for me this week... I guess I will be putting these two memes together from here on out, and if my last week's pictures were taken from one location, this week's pictures were taken from two festivals here in the Philippines.


This was taken from the Panagbenga Festival in Baguio City last February. These girls were waiting for their turn to perform. For three years now, I have been watching the festival's grand street parade, and next year, I hope to watch the float parade, too.

This, on the other hand was taken from the Pahiyas Festival in Quezon last May. It was one of the most colorful festivals I have seen, but because there were so many people packing the narrow streets of Lucban, it was quite difficult to take pictures, too. Even if we walked around for two hours, I wasn't able to take much pictures because of the clutters brought about by the people's heads. :)

Both From Colinas Verdes

Shengkay invited me to join her color-themed photo meme, so every Tuesdays, I am going to share orange / red pictures. This week, pictures I am sharing are both taken from Colinas Verdes, but pictures were taken on two different days.

This type of hibiscus always gets my attention because it's bigger than the normal hibiscus I see, and I love photographing it while it's not fully open yet. When I saw this, I immediately came near it to photograph it.

With lots of green trees and grasses, this red tree truly stands out. I don't know if those are its flowers or its leaves, but whatever it is, it's just so beautiful!

Seeing the pictures I took from Colinas Verdes made me miss jogging there. It's been so long since I last went there, and I do hope typhoons would take a break in visiting the country so I can go back jogging there and take new pictures.
