Sunset for Grandpa

The end of last year signaled grief to my father’s side of the family when a grand uncle passed away. We were able to visit him a few days before he breathed his last and it was a bittersweet memory that he still recognized me, disoriented though he was.

This sunset photo (I made it grainy in texture) was taken when we were on our way home from that visit:

Here is the photo without the grainy texture.

We went back a few days after for his wake but we just stayed for some time since we had to travel back home. It was good to see relatives even if the circumstances were sad.

Crescent Moon and Venus on May 16, 2010

My eldest daughter noticed this unusual spectacle yesterday and took several photos: May 16, 2010 Venus and crescent moon alignment. One of which is this:

Venus and crescent moon aligned in the sky. Photo taken at 6:38pm some minutes before the setting happened, time was according to the news. Daughter said she even saw Venus “disappear” while we were on the road, which was also reported in the news.

I say it beats seeing this in person rather than watching video footage even on HDTV.

This rarely occurs and the next one is said to be slated on August 13, 2012 which is a day after this daughter’s birthday. Not everyone gets to see it too.

My friend iMom took a photo too. Enchie had photos too.

Right Foot

Right foot of my son who loves to play outdoors, the other half of his pair of often dirty feet. He loves to walk barefoot in the house.

Running after kids is a good way to exercise even without fitness equipment.

With the way children are plopped in front of a computer or game console, they miss out on a lot of things that playing with friends and/or playing outdoors can give them.

Black Olives

Vegetable salads are one of my favorite food. Below is a bowl of vegetable salad I prepared: cheese cubes, Romaine lettuce, black olives, cucumber, tomato and carrot slices.

It just occurred to me and I just checked, I already featured this photo in this blog post for my 2010 Project 365 (which is not updated by the way for almost a month!)
