Candelabra

I took these shots a couple of months ago at my FIL's house. I volunteered to help him clean his walls and I saw a lot of shadow shots opportunities there.

I also love the shadows on this chair.

Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend. I am glad that tomorrow is a holiday, I don't have to get up early yay! Have a happy holiday everyone!

Jelly Fish

I grow up in a coastal part of Southern Luzon in the Philippines and during the m0onth of July to October, we are not allowed to go and in the ocean as jelly fish are very thick. Some jelly fish are just itchy when it touches your skin but the ones with long thread-like tentacles will burn your skin upon contact.

I took these photos at PPG Aquarium in Pittsburgh Zoo. Upon seeing them, a flashback came into my mind, reminding me of my childhood years.

Just a quick update before I continue cleaning our home. We will have a lawyer to come in here today (will tell you the details later). I have been cleaning since yesterday wahhhh. Have a nice day everyone!

The Tomato Picker - Nostalgia #16

My daughter love to go to her dear Pap's house. Aside from the reason that he let her do things "her way", she also love picking the tomatoes in his garden.

She reminds me of ME when I was a teenager. During summer vacation when school is off, I would go to my relatives in Ligao Albay, Phils and would work everyday picking tomatoes. I think the compensation then (over 20 years ago) was twenty pesos a day (an eight-hour of work under the scourging heat of the sun.) You might not believe it but it's true. While other teenagers are enjoying their summer vacation, I had to work my butt off so I would have money to buy my school things and my siblings too for the next school year. It's a joy to reminisce those experiences though, it made me stronger and stick to the saying that I believe into "Where there's a wheel, there's a way".

Please join me every Thursday in reminiscing our happy, sad, and whatever emotion you have had in the past. Places you have visited, people you met, and anything that you have from yesteryears. Let me be part in traveling down your memory lane. Just Click the badge above.

Flowers at Pittsburgh Zoo

Here are some of the photos of the flowers I saw at Pittsburgh Zoo when we went there a couple of weeks ago with Jen and Jim's family. We originally planned to go for a camping but we did not push through because of some unavoidable reasons. We decided to go to the zoo instead so the kids could enjoy watching the different kinds of critters.

Anyhow, the only flower that I recognized here is the marigold. Everything else, I don't have any idea of their names.

Oh I like this bright orange fruit-like bloom from a tree.

And this one too, I think orange looks great when it's around brown and green color. What do you think?

These are inside the PPG Aquarium placed on top of a big rock. 

I like this vine too.

This is on the place where the orangutan's are running around.

This is just a quick update before we go to church. Have a blessed Sunday everyone. Thanks for your visit and comments!

The Penguins

My daughter had so much fun watching the penguins put on their show when we went to Pittsburgh Zoo. I couldn't get a good picture with them under the water.

They swam so fast that whenever I take pictures, It's blurry. Anyhow, these are the only ones that looks good.

Hope everyone had a lovely day. We are super busy at our end so pardon for me not visiting often.
