Sun-kissed


While traipsing at the woods, I almost stepped on this grass. It was growing along the path.The rays from the setting sun had filtered through the canopy and kissed the leaf blade, casting a golden light.

The grass barely reached my calf. But I couldn't let that moment pass without doing anything about it. Crouching so low, mindless on soiling my pants, I aimed my camera and took my shot.

Catch Me If You Can

As the last weekend had been busy, I decided to take a walk in the nearby woods. I chanced upon a wild flower (as I don't know its name, pardon me, Bio majors) and decided to take a picture of it. I was trying to focus my lens, only to realize that a butterfly was resting on its flimsy, tiny petals.


Ever heard of hands shaking, so to set the correct exposure? I felt that way at that time. Realizing that a titan with a camera is just nearby, the butterfly flew and teasingly settled from one flowering plant to another. 

I decided to leave it alone when I finally got the shot above and headed deeper into the woods. I was on my way up when another butterfly, same species as the one I initially spotted, flew across my path.

Then a play of catch ensued.

Route to Anonimity


This shot was taken at Popoo, Pres. Carlo P. Garcia in Bohol. I was waiting for the outrigger that will take me to the mainland where I can journey back to Cebu.

Since my parents moved to Bohol eight years ago, I usually take a pumpboat from Cebu and sail for 4-5 hours (depending on the weather) to the island. Much as I'd like to see aquatic vistas, they started to bore me, not to mention, there were times I arrived to my destination, wet.
