This is just a simple poem and prayer for the world. I hope God will listen to my call for help. This is for the goodness of life.I’m using my own sunset image taken around 5:20pm in Fort McKinley,Taguig Metro Manila. (near the Heroes Cemetery)
Shooting the clouds is an inspiration.You can see the sunlight details and aerial view of the entire surroundings. What a panoramic view! The cloud landscape shown here was all taken moments before mid afternoon. You can just imagine the intense sunlight upon shooting below.It was a great deal of determination. It seems the clouds within my reach, and reachable.
Summer time is the best time to shoot any subject. Hopefully, I can take more snapshots of cloud landscape. It is also best to view the bright clouds along the way going to the countryside. I’m collecting beautiful photos of different landscapes in and out of the city. It’s just a matter of time, 2 weeks or less. Come again and view for more.
I have used little details on giving some reminders on how to make your dream comes true.It’s just a short poem, readable, and make believe to fulfill your dreams turning it into a reality.My first idea to begin with, To greet you with the glow of my own image sitting in front of a beautiful spot, waiting for the sunset to come out.I’m planning to use all landscape pictures I’ve photographed earlier.I don’t want to waste any images taken somewhere.It came out to be a good idea making such poem using my own images. Isn’t it? The hardest part? It’s hard to make a fresh poetic words that will blend connecting each other. I’m reviewing all my drafts made earlier,I would like to strengthen,making it better for the next post.There’s no harm trying, Nobody’s perfect! I will surely learn from it. I’ve already learned a lot from the first one. We’ll see the next post.

The presence of some crustaceans are found when least expected. Surprisingly awesome!
The panoramic view of the beach. How enjoyable to walk barefoot along the seashore.

There’s no photography rules this time. It’s just a point-and-shoot, There’s no limit and adjustments. Sometimes, you want to make fun and play shooting a subject and see the test results. I took snapshots while driving along Eastwood city.This is quick and easy take which do not require special equipments. A pocket-sized digital camera (Canon Ixus) that I can depend on especially when you are in a different situation.I know that this is not the right place to shoot a subject and more precautions to follow.It’s a reminder that safety first so, I just shoot when the car stops on a heavy traffic. Long and heavy traffic gave me ample time to shoot my subject.It just happened that a beautiful scene came across my way so,I’m taking the risk of what the result would be. Let’s see! These snapshot looks like a reward of patient effort! ! Finally,This Glittering lights made it more favorable to feel its worth it but, I don’t appreciate my own work. I’m tired and I want to sleep soundly tonight. Goodnight my dear readers! Thank you for stopping here.
On my way going to the supermarket, passing parade float caught my attention. I rushed to catch out, and parked my car on the side street just to take snapshots. Street parking was limited and I’m scared to leave my car behind, my car would be towed away. The Christmas light and sound electric float parade has the power to stopped me along the way. Absolutely, it was my first time ever to see these beautiful floats carrying different movie theme such as; Angry Birds, Power Puff Girls, Captain America, Superman, Kungfu Panda, Hercules, Buzz Light Year and Woody, Toy Story and many more. It was a project of the Rotary Club of Mutya ng Pasig and Ortigas group of companies with the help of School teachers, Barangay and City officials.
All electric floats was attractively colorful and creative, even the float design and decorations was fabulous. I was so excited to capture some floats and decided to follow the night parade all the way going to City hall.So far, It was an unforgettable event.To bring home stunning photos of my own is awesome! Let’s get started.

Knowing what to expect, a great crowd along the way. It was crowded that even kids and adults stayed throughout the evening just to watched it Leaving my car behind, I followed the route of the parade blocks away just to get a good spot.
Float carrying the movie theme,”Captain America.”The street cannot accommodate hundreds of people blocking my view to take a shot!
Float carrying the movie theme,”Angry Birds.”
The performers applying their make-up beside the float behind, and I’m more than welcome to take photos with them.

The Christmas dancers. Ended the day so exhausted but, the attractions relieved my stress. It was definitely unforgettable as it is a rare, not seen every time around the city.
Oh! It’s a fuzzy worms I found in my garden. It’s a beautiful caterpillars! These caterpillars has the same pattern and color, banded with brightly green yellowish white stripes and dotted black. They have blue eyes and red thoracic legs.I found them crawling and balancing on the same stem of the host plant. They have the same color with the host plant. It seems there’s no give and take as they blocked each others way climbing on top.
Days ago, I’ve seen both of them swinging and hanging on the surface of small leaf. I remember they were still tiny and light at that time, even a small leaf can accommodate both of them. How wonderful to see immediate changes,they become bigger,fatter and heavier that a small leaf can’t hold anymore.This day is the most disgusting and destructive stage. I hate to see what they are doing now.They spend all time eating non-stop. They ate all the leaves of the host plant. While photographing them, I’ve counted no. of leaves eaten by them,they ate 7 small leaves. What an appetite!
I will continue observing them everyday,checking and following their path so I can get full details of everyday changes. I’m not going to capture them, I’ll just set them free so they can move around freely. It takes time, 2 weeks maybe, I will note counting no. of days it takes caterpillar to become a real butterfly.The most interesting part, is to see what happen in the life cycle of a real insect.I’m excited to see changes , Let’s see! I will wait for the caterpillars to become a pupa,and out of pupa, It will become a real insect. I will wait for these caterpillars to become a beautiful butterfly!
I will give you a follow-up of these soon. I’m still in the process of gathering full details. I will welcome all comments. Thank you my dear readers.
As I promised last week. I have mentioned that I would post more photos of my night photography. It was taken on the same night but in two different locations. How beautiful to view the Christmas lights show. It was a bit delayed due to work overload and I was busy during the past Holidays. However, Last night, I have uploaded the latest from my camera. I have photographed more than a 50 night scenes and landscapes during my long spare time.
There’s no time for photography except on Saturdays, Sundays and Special Holidays. However, It’s wonderful to view your own work, and to experience shooting the colors of nightlife, you can feel the enjoyment expressing the result of your passion. I’m collecting my efforts to store it here just for you. Let’s get started. Let us enjoy what photography has to bring!

Before the end of the year 2011, I made myself available for a night to photograph the Glittering lights of the city. The long holiday vacation gave me the option free to shoot the colours of nightlife. For me, photography is not just a pastime ans a favorite hobby during vacation, it’s my responsibility to shoot and take good photos for my blogs.As a blogger, using pictures in articles is the best way to communicate with my readers and an effective way to show author’s account. Not only for the reason to document the place or makes the site looks distinctly beautiful, It can simply helps me to explain what I’ve written. For only a night, I took photos of the show from all different locations. It was a cozy and bright surroundings, the shimmering bright lights, glittering small bulbs, etc. It’s a dreamland of a moving mannequin show. These pictures will reveal a starry, starry night worth remembering.It taken around Greenhills during the 2011 Christmas show. How wonderful to shoot the touch of the night transformed into a starry,starry night. I stayed up to the closing time , I’ve waited for the fireworks display which would end up the show.
