Summer Fruits

Summer to me means fruits in season are a-plenty.

Summer means mangoes, ripe or green, watermelons, melons, pineapples and strawberries are in season too.

Take your pick and have a refreshing and healthy snack 🙂

Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening

Walking is the theme for Photo Hunter and the first thing that came to mind was Robert Frost’s poem: “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening”

In another PH entry is a photo of my two younger children and my husband walking hand-in-hand.

Below is a B & W photo of a wooded area that we love to go to:

I know there is no snow here but I think this is a fitting photo for my interpretation of the poem considering my geographical location 😉

This is one of our family’s favorite Sunday destination where we can go walking in the woods and biking and even have picnic lunch on a mat.

I also used Robert Frost’s “The Road not Taken” in another PH post about roads.

Below is Robert Frost’s poem:

Does Chocolate Cause Acne?

I love chocolates and need I say that my children do too?

We always have chocolates in the house though before we have these in bars, now these come in bite sizes. The intake is also moderated since the kids ( and I ) have these for dessert.

Barbed Wire

Protect(ion) is the theme for Photo Hunter this Saturday.

Below is a photo of barbed wire over grills with a ocher sunset sky backdrop.

No, that is not a prison fence. It is our home fence.

Why the grills and the barbed wire? For some protection against intruders.

Basilica Minore de San Sebastian

Countless brides with their families, diamond engagement rings, exquisite gowns and dolled up entourage have walked the long aisle of San Sebastian Church or the Basilica Minore de San Sebastian which was one of the photos I featured in my Litratong Pinoy entry.

This is one church that has captured the hearts of people, whether through its design or its history or perhaps both.

This all steel church is on the tentative list of UNESCO Heritage Sites.

I am glad that we included this in our itinerary when we did our family annual Visita Iglesia during Holy Week. When the kids were asked what church made the best impact for them this church won hands down 🙂
