Trumpet Vine

I took these shots at my father-in-law's backyard. His trumpet vine is blooming already but mine isn't yet. I guess that the nectar of this particular flower is sweet because ants love em (just my theory lol).

I like the other color of trumpet vine.. orange. Mine is yellow too. I think that a combo of yellow and orange will be great when they bloom together.

See the bee enjoying her treat?

How about these ants?

Mother bee is busy..
Have a nice Saturday everyone, thanks for dropping by my page. Join us by clicking the badge below.

Light.. Camera.. Action

"Light.. Camera... Pose" is the topic for this week's Mommy Moment. Here are some of my kids recent poses.

Above was taken last weekend when my family and Jen's family went for a 4 miles walk in Panhandle Trail. Below were taken when we visited John's Aunt downstate of WV.

Above is a forced one because she was crying when I took the pic lol. She wanted to go out and play with the tutu but I did not let her so she cried. Below are just random shots.

Below shots were taken when we attended an airshow at Jefferson Airport in Ohio.

Thanks for visiting guys. I am glad that I got my CPU back and its now running in full swing. I wasn't able to use it till late tonight though.

Oriental Store Trip

We went to the Strip District in Pittsburgh last Friday to shop at the oriental store. It's been a while since we last shop there. I kept putting it off due to lack of budget lol. Finally, my husband said that we3 realy need to go because4 he himself misses asian foods lol.
Whenever I am in the asian store, I gets excited. I feel like I am in the Philippines lol. Our little shoppers did really well in helping us. Going home , they were munching some pinoy snacks.
We spent $160 for all these. Thanks to the generous hubs of mine. He doesn't care whatever I get which sometimes I get over board lol. But, it's worth it because we seldom go to Pittsburgh so everytime we're there, I make sure to get a lot.

Butterfly Haven

My sister-in-law Chris has a butterfly bush in her backyard which is in full bloom now. It is enjoyable to watch it because a lot of butterfly are feasting on the flowers. The last time we visited, I saw three different kinds/colors of butterfly but I will show you the one that I really love. There's three of them with the same colors but I couldn't take a picture of the three of them.

It's funny how each of them are flirting with each other. I just wish that I have a camera that would take a picture without delay hehehe. Every time I tried to take a photo of the three of them, I failed to catch it.

Aren't they pretty? I find it very relaxing to watch the butterflies fly around and sucking nectars from one branch to another.

I hope that you enjoy browsing these photos?

Do you have a particluar shot that you like? I'll share to you the bluish and black butterfly color next time.

Moon Flower

My FIL calls this Moon Flower. He has a lot of this around the pine tree at the backyard. The flowers are humongous, what interesting is that, the blooms does not last through out the day It's only in the morning where you see they are open wide.
Here's some different shots for you.
She is pretty isn't it?
Thanks for dropping by folks. Have a great Sunday! Linking this to Today's Flower.
