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. :)

More of the Baguio Flowers...




Just like the sunflower I posted two Mondays ago, this flower (which is unknown to me) was captured in Wright Park, along the lagoon. I have read in one of the photography tips that one "should not take pictures of flowers from above" as it is a common practice by any people who takes pictures of flowers, but for this I just couldn't resist. Actually, I also took pictures of the flower itself, but I was having a hard time attacking the shot, so I just did this. =) If anyone knows the name of the flower, feel free to say to me. Thanks!

Purple Flower

To continue with the Baguio City flower pictures...






Taken from the grounds of Saint Joseph Church, I found the flowers very pretty (I am a bit biased, purple is my favorite color), so before entering the church, I took some pictures. It was quite sunny that day, so I am having a difficult time checking the LCD of my camera, so out of about 7 pictures taken, these two were the good ones. I hope the beauty of the flower was able to compensate. =)

Happy week, everyone!

Sunflower

Continuing with the Baguio City flower photos...




My cousin and I dropped by the Mansion from Mines View Park and from there we walked towards the Wright Park before going to Saint Joseph Church. While walking along the park, we saw some sunflowers. I still don't have a picture of a sunflower the whole time I was in Baguio that day, so why not? This sunflower didn't have much petals, so I just concentrated on its center.
