Today my sister left Irvine to go back and be with her family in Manila. This picture was taken by me during our short trip to Palm Springs. I wanted to show a special shot of the wilderness and I think this one did the job. I like it that she was looking around enjoying the serene beauty of nature that day. As my sister says, “this is God showing me the beauty of His creations.”

BOKRACAY
My husband and I were very fortunate to see the island again. It’s been almost 11 years ago since we’ve been there. It changed a lot in terms of infrastructure but the people, the spirit of traditional Filipino tropical island hospitality and simplicity and the beauty and wonder of the island still remains.
Bok and I waited for sunset on our second night on the island. We watched the sail boats pass by the horizon as the sun mirrors across the ocean. At that same moment, I felt happy. Happy to see that I am with the same person whom I saw this same sunset years ago.
How time flies. I am happy I have captured this backdrop of Boracay and with Bok as my main subject, it made this my favorite shot during our vacation back home.

I can’t believe I am doing this! Again, finally…. I am learning to do this. I wanted to do this since way back in 2007 but I never started it. I attempted several times but each one did not succeed. I hope this time, my photos will be seen by people and I wish that these beginner shots will be appreciated.
Photo was taken using my Nikon camera purchased last December for my family’s trip to Manila, Philippines and Hong Kong. I acquired a new 35mm fixed lens this month and I tested my shots on this beautiful lavender plant gifted to me by Bok. This flower is sitting right on our patio on a window planter facing northwest.
