Nature's Touch Monday: Tridax and the Fly

“A weed is but an unloved flower.” 
-Ella Wheeler Wilcox

I think I really need macro lens for better shots of this kind.

Family Day Sunday: Mother and Child

"Think for a minute, darling: 

in fairy tales it's always the children who have the fine adventures.

The mothers have to stay at home

and wait for the children to fly in the window.” 

- Audrey Niffenegger, The Time Traveler's Wife

I already posted this one in Chemist Dad but still I want to share this here.

It is really heart-warming to look photos of mother and her child/children.

Nature's Touch Monday: Holding On

"No matter how hard things get in life,

just don't worry about it,

hold firm to your grounds and fight with your head up 

because after a heavy rain there will still be sunshine."

- Brighton Simpsons

Grayscale Thursday: The Ring

“Dusk is just an illusion because the sun is either above the horizon or below it.

And that means that day and night are linked in a way that few things are there cannot be one without the other yet they cannot exist at the same time. 

How would it feel I remember wondering to be always together yet forever apart?” 

-Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook

I took this shot in Tarlac just before the sun sets. I wasn't able to take a shot while the sun is still above basket to make it look like a ball of fire.

Family Day Sunday: The Little Drummer Boy

“Childhood is not from birth

to a certain age and at a certain age.

The child is grown, and puts away childish things.

Childhood is the kingdom where nobody dies.”

 -Edna St. Vincent Millay

Matt used to imitate Pocoyo after watching one of the episodes with drums. This is a stolen shot since he doesn't want to make a pose in front of camera.
