A peaceful expression of nature, what a marvelous daybreak that makes a happy day endings. Let’s take time to be quiet because the flashing moment is something magnificent to view.
An active Monarch butterfly lands on a red flower with the background of the morning sun rays and the brilliant blue sky. More than 3 butterflies visited our garden this morning, I don’t expect to see them around during rainy season. Thanks for coming babe, ee you again tomorrow…
A brief moment that will capture your sight and much more the attention of the people around this area, it’s the striking splendor overlooking from afar, the sunset over South China sea is mesmerizing and clearly visible at this moment.
It came to the right place when I’m about to leave in minutes suddenly, a gorgeous butterfly appeared in front of me. It was a good timing because I was holding my iphone that time when I was still in the garage, I immediately point it out to photograph. Just a brief moment and the butterfly flew away. Thanks God! the focus was quiet good. I’ve captured it using iphone and my first butterfly click using iphone.
With so much energy to carry the heavy load of the Lion and Dragon’s head, it was the perfect space to showcase their scream fest performance. The Lion and Dragon dance performed at Pioneer Center during Chinese New Year, February 19,2015. It’s the ”Year of the Wooden Sheep”
Note: More Dragon dance and Lion dance Photos next posts…

I’ve started covering the Paskotitap Christmas Lights and Sounds Float Parade way back year 2011 and up the the present, it was already my fourth year of following the parade. I’ve already published 3 others in the past.As usual, it is done at the same time(6:00 pm) and venue(in front of Sm HyperMart ) It was a project of the Rotary Club of Mutya ng Pasig and Ortigas group of Companies with the help of Participating schools, Barangay and City officials.
In the past,they presented different electrical float design, a movie-themed float well-structured and gracefully made with soundtrack. For this year 2014, Floats featured popular Disney characters from animated movies with live performers wearing elegant costumes. Just like the fairy tale stories, you’ll see the interpretation of your favorite Disney characters.Hundreds of watchers and passers turned to see the float.Full of people screaming with wide eyes admiration, simply, the shouts of joy.
Paskotitap Parade for this year is quiet different from the rest.There’s a quick change of set up to present the multi-colored shades particularly, the natural and exact color of the float.I can only get that view during daytime. How about that? I guess, better photos would be taken at right time,I was able to take close-up photos of all floats during the day followed by more shots at night. Indeed, photography would be easier with the absence of the crowd.
From the dark and bright sky, you’ll see the difference between ”Day photography” and the”Night photography”. So here, you’ll the difference between the two if you view photos taken by day and night.You can see the natural color of the float during the day but it’s more wonderful to see the glitzy glow of floats at night. Here ‘s to present not only day photos but, night photos as well.
Note: My night photography. Let’s get started
You’ve probably heard Paskotitap Christmas Lights and Sounds Float Parade before, it’s an annual parade done at the same time and venue ( in front of SM Hypermarket) It was a project of the Rotary Club of Mutya ng Pasig and Ortigas group of Companies with the help of Participating schools, Barangay and City officials.
Following the parade for 4 years since year 2011 up to the present,I’ve already published 3 others in the past.Adding to the excitement, I’ve collected beautiful photos as well, it’s a good subject of ”Night Photography”
Let me make a brief review of the past year’s ”Paskotitap Christmas Lights and Sounds Float Parade”

In the past years, photography is always done at night because it’s an electronic float but year 2014, I was able to do both day and night photography at the same day.I went to SM Hyper Mart midday and luckily all floats was already there for light fixings and finishing touches. You can see here from the photos itself the difference between night and day shots. For me, daytime, you can clearly see the original colors of the float, it was attractive but bit dry. Of course, night photography looks more attractive because of it’s vibrant colors and flashing lights.

Ice Castle
Along the way going to Tagaytay City, we made a quick stop because I saw this towering ice castle across the street. Over-looking from afar, it was beautiful and Translucent.The Ice Castle is a magical winter tale of Valenza by Crown Asia. The Valenza -Crown Asia in Sta. Rosa Laguna is a popular subdivisions with Italian architectural features.
Approaching from behind is the vivid reflections of the sunset that made the landscape more radiant and flashy.This is a serious Holiday landscape dressing up for the season followed with street signs. You can see the presence of frozen lake, polar bears, Santa with Carousel, winter deer, Christmas trees and Ice castle.The outfit of the landscape is a winter zone setting that happens to be in the flat farmlands of the city.
It would be more nicer if the aerial view was taken. From a far distance, it was almost perfect! I can just describe it as a traffic stopping landscape because of number of people taking pictures in front of the castle.
The winter deer. it looks like sled deer.

Furthermore, the charms despite the southern woodland address spreads the cheer for the for the holiday spirit.
