Made for Each Other

Saturdays are my lazy blog days. I am online everyday, but during weekends, I just find myself either watching videos or just browse all sorts of websites I can hop into.

Today, I told myself I am going to blog, but right after doing the laundry, I just went in my room (which is more of a storage room than a bedroom because I abandoned it a few years ago - I sleep on the living room floor) and started cleaning it. It ate my entire afternoon, and because I feel quite tired, I was thinking of not blogging, but I decided to make this post just before I call it a day.


Whenever I go to the weekend market, I spend hours taking pictures of the flowers because our own garden doesn't have that much flowering plants. Since I don't get to visit the market that often, I do make sure my camera's memory card has enough space to save nearly a hundred pictures because I do take pictures of a particular flower over and over.

Pink and lavender are my favorite colors. They just look so good together, and even this flower didn't look that fresh (too many dark speckles), just seeing a flower having two of my favorite colors was enough to make me take a picture of it.

It's been month since I last went to the weekend market and I do miss it. I really should convince the girls (mom and sis) to go there soon.

A Critter on a Bed of Petals

While at the Simply Butterflies butterfly sanctuary in Bohol, my companions were busy taking pictures of themselves, and since I don't ask any of them to take my pictures that often, I just roamed around to find photography subjects.

It was the pink flower that I saw first, but when I came near it, I was surprised to see this little fella sitting pretty on the petals. I am not really sure if this one's a beetle or something else, but it sure looks cute where it was. :)

Pink Star-like Flower

Transferring the August 2011 pictures made me realize I am way, way behind my uploads in my Facebook page. I am now trying my best to upload as much pictures as I can so I can finally catch up.

Anyway, while uploading July 2010 pictures, I saw this picture and thought it would be perfect for Pink Fridays. I don't know the name of the flower, but every time I see one, I just can't stop myself from taking a picture of it.

The time I took this, the rain just stopped... it was already dusk, so I turned on the flash of my camera to take this picture. I just love how my old camera captures night macro.

Anthurium

One typhoon left, but a new one's here again... hope you peeps here in the Philippines are doing a-okay.

This morning, I decided to germinate my zinnia seeds. I know it's been raining and all, but I figured I might as well start with my zinnia project so if the seeds germinate and grow, I might have plants big enough to be replanted outside.

I also took time to check on my tomato seedlings - reinforcing the sticks that keeps the plant standing, and after my little garden errand, I saw that our pot of anthurium now has three small flowers. My camera was on my hand as I took pictures while gardening, and thought I might take a picture of this flower, too.

Among the flowering plants we ave here at home, this is one of the oldest. Thankful are we that it still hasn't stopped blooming.

Euphorbia

First time to join Pink Fridays! This is one of my favorite colors, so I am very excited in sharing the many pink stuff I have here at home, as well as other pink colored subjects I photographed as I go through life.

This was one of my old pictures that I wasn't able to share in any of my blogs. I took this after the rain, and the water drops were the main reason why I took this picture. I photograph this using the macro mode with the flash on, so the bottom right corner was dark.

We used to have this Euphorbia plant that seemed to bloom non-stop, but for some reason it just died. Now, we don't have any Euphorbia in our garden, and I think we need to add some more flowering plants in our garden to give it more life.
