Every Saturday, participants post photos based on a theme. The theme for this Saturday is HAT(S).
I went differently though, I went HAT LESS in this entry whereas I have different hats in my other PH post 🙂
Our Krispy Kreme Snowman has no hat!
Should he had any or this is just ok?
Rain days can be lovely, isn’t it? These rains make the flowers bloom, the air cool and the surroundings greener and fresher, and smog (which is my other PH entry) is somehow a thing of the past.
This is what we get when it rains everyday:
We have knee-high grass during the rainy months from June-August.
When the typhoons come however, too much rain result in not so good situations like flooding, flash floods, rising water of rivers and things that are not so nice.
The knee-high grass is a mere inconvenience, if I may say so, compared to what others go through.
Every Saturday, participants post photos based on a theme. The theme for this Saturday, the first Saturday for 2009 is HOPE.
Martin Luther King, Jr.: If you lose hope, somehow you lose the vitality that keeps life moving, you lose that courage to be, that quality that helps you go on in spite of it all. And so today I still have a dream.
Let us all light up our hopes so we see our dreams in sight and work on these to come true.
Yes, hope should go hand in hand with prayers and hard work.
One of the few songs that I love to listen to is the song “The Water is Wide/Deep River” as sung by Barbara Streisand. Click here to listen to her sing. The song has a relation to my entry, in terms of its lyrics, and NOT its interpretation.
Below is a photo of a river whose bed rose because of the sand deposits from the lahar flows as aftermath of the Mount Pinatubo eruption which happened in the early 1990s, after being dormant for 500 years.
Click here to read about its effect.
The Macolcol River was not a wide river before the volcanic eruption but it became so due to the forces of nature that men can not stop. The water has stopped flowing too. To think this river suffered only minor damage compared to other river system just shows how nature is really a force to reckon with.
Pardon the photo quality because we were in transit when I took a snapshot while on the new and taller bridge crossing the river:
The river is not flowing anymore, except maybe during typhoon season. It looks like a wide expanse of white desert with pine trees on either side and the mountains as its backdrop.
I wonder if Pomegranate trees will survive here?
The water should flow towards the sea, though I have not seen that happen in a long time.
We love chocolates, these are one of our favorite kinds of dessert. These are bribes rewards for the children if they are able to eat the food on their plates. One of the more popular brand names in our household is the Reese’s milk chocolate peanut butter cups.
For this week’s FAVORITE Photo Hunt’s theme, I give you:
Reese’s milk chocolate peanut butter cups.
Feel free to get one 😉
Every Saturday, participants post photos based on a theme. The theme for this Saturday is BREAKFAST.
See a Filipino breakfast here.
Young and old alike, pancakes are breakfast favorites. From those plain pancakes to those fancy pancakes with add-on like chocolate chips or marshmallows on top, these are on the top of the list of must-haves for breakfast or even any time of the day.
Pancakes as my children’s heavy snacks served one cool afternoon 🙂
