Green Mondays | Seafood Pesto

I noticed I have been sharing a lot of leaves picture for Green Mondays, so this week, I'd switch to foods! :)

Last grocery day, us girls (mom, sis, and I) went to eat dinner at Le Coeur de France in SM Fairview before going home. Mom and sis went for pasta + half sandwich, and mom's choice of pasta was the Seafood Pesto, because she really loves shrimps. This tasted really good - first time for me to taste shrimps on pesto (normally, I eat it with grilled chicken), and I am thinking of eating this one should we go back to eat there again.

Geese

After visiting daddy's grave for his 4th death anniversary, my sister and I went to Aunt Lorie's house to meet up with cousin Mhai because we planned to go to the hanging bridge. When we got there, she was taking a nap (we had to wake her up), and while waiting for her to get ready, these geese walked by, which freaked me out a bit because I have this small fear of big birds (because of the beak). However, they're just way too cute, and we don't see geese everyday, so I got my camera to take a picture. I don't want to get near them, so I just zoomed my camera to take my picture.

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.

Green Mondays | "Water Drops"

I want to unearth some pictures, so here I am sharing another picture from the vaults.


After a few days of rain, many were thankful that the heavens finally stopped crying. That morning, I went out of the house to call a tricycle for my mom, and while waiting for one to pass by the street, I went over our neighbor's garden, just to check on a plant that was knocked out by the rain. Beside it was this euphorbia plant, which had something interesting - the water drops under the leaves.

I sure want to get my lens as close as possible - hoping to take an image of the reflection in the water drops, but because I was using a point and shoot camera, this was the best I could go for.

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.
