Water Pollution

My other entry about still beautiful trash can be found here.

trash in Manila Bay

Manila Bay is said to be a place where magnificent sunsets can be seen. I have not been there for that particular time of day though.

When we went to visit the place a few months ago, we were disappointed to see trash, especially plastic bags, disposable cups and plastic bottles thrown IN the water.

Deplorable acts!

25 Photos

These photos were for a photo scavenger hunt (different from the Saturday Photo Hunter meme that I participate) that I plan to join but was not able to.

Some photos included were taken by my 13yo daughter.

1. A View from Above (looking down)

2. A Macro Shot

Sunflowers are very bright and lovely flowers

3. Laughter

Going down a slide is pure happiness

4. Relaxation

A respite and shade from the noon heat

5. A Celebration

Christmas, ‘tis the season of joy and love.

6. A Sunset

7. Sun/Lens Flare

8.  A Bridge

Would you dare cross that hanging bridge? No, there are no crocodiles lying in wait just in case you fall down but then, that would double the fun, wouldn’t it? (Photo taken by my 13yo daughter)

9.  A Shadow

Wouldn’t you know, it is almost high noon but because of the shadows cast by the trees, this road is quite shady and still cool for a walk.

10.  A Garden

My MIL‘s home garden (Photo taken by my 13yo daughter)

Crablet in the Clam

I apologize for the uncooked seafood but I could not resist posting this photo of a crablet in the clam. I got a kilo of these halaan for lunch and decided to take photos when I got surprised to see these little creatures. Yep, around half the clams had these crablets inside.

Here are some (soon-to-be) baked mussels and mussels cooked in lemongrass broth which I am sure some of you have already seen.

Have a great week, everyone!

Goodbye, Summer?

I know I am one of the many who complains about the hot and humid weather but is it goodbye summer already?

It was a good thing that last Sunday, even if I was having a sneezing fit and while the world was getting ready to watch the Pacquiao-Hatton fight in LV which had the Pacman KO Hatton <- (must watch) during 2nd round, my hubby and I decided to go where I can take photos of sunflowers (my favorite flowers!) and at the same time, spend a little time doing some walking. He brought a bike and went biking while I walked.

So there you go, a close-up sunflower photo, in memory of a very short summer.

Update: We are supposed to be in the middle of summer but we just had Chan-hom, a category 3 hurricane, ravaging the northern part of the country last night.Please pray for those who lost their homes and their loved ones.

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 🙂
