What a peaceful summer snapshots somewhere in Laguna. The setting completely will calm my senses upon viewing the ricefield from behind. Nature’s bright light before sundown works well for me. Scene of nature at any time of the day will surely produce good photograph.
A honeybee is a winged stinging insect who produces wax and collect honey which they store in wax cells for rainy food. They are adapted to do a certain work because their body structure is fitted to do that certain kind of work. For their best advantage, we don’t have winter in the Philippines, they store up food as needed during rainy days.
Blooming Hibiscus flowers with the sun rays pointing on them. It was a bright afternoon in the park and the clear reflection is good at this time of the day. I was lucky, I brought my camera with me, it’s just a perfect timing. Just a single snapshot and done so everything came up to be in awesome result!
In the garden, dazzling range of flowering plants everywhere, the early flowers appeared in the first signs of summer. In our garden, bright blooms just appeared, it’s a good welcome for the garden insects; butterflies, dragonflies, bumblebees and honeybees will again dominate the scene as month of February brings abundant of flowers.

Familiar to most people and frequently found in the garden.Mother and baby Honeybee together pollinating one flower at the same time. Mother honeybees caring for their young, they both depend on flowering plants and trees for nectar and pollen.
Remarkably beautiful visible in the height of broad daylight. Using iphone 5s and adjusted to filter option,”Chrome” the most favored options for today’s iphone 5s photography, it shows very strong colors. More hibiscus colors coming up next blog..
With too many photos taken today, I’m sure to find one good before the end of the day. This is it, considered as the most dramatic photo of the day. This honeybee photo was taken during my outdoor photography assignment. It’s about sundown when I took it, the fascinating orange and yellow colors of sundown seems to blend with the surroundings. The site and background can be laid out as the spectacular time of the day.
Ferrero Rocher Christmas Tree
The shining example of beautiful chocolate theme Christmas tree. It’s for public viewing and photos taken at Robinson’s Galleria Supermarket before New Year.What a gracious expression of Christmas decoration. It’s incredibly beautiful! Ferrero Rocher chocolates are stunning partners for a Christmas garland. I don’t know how many pieces were attached but it seems around 5 yards of garland, good enough to cover the whole Christmas tree. The gold color of Ferrero Rocher is equally elegant and splendid, the lavish and expensive effect of decorating tradition of chocolates, color and theme features a good blitz.
One of the most awaited event is the Paskotitap Christmas Lights and Sound Parade or Paskotitap Festival. It is an annual parade held every December in the city of Pasig. Paskotitap is a beautiful exhibition of electronic floats sponsored by participating institutions and schools.The event will also showcased all beautiful designed floats and performances of dance troupes from each school. 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.
It was truly was a beautiful Christmas evening last Sunday (December 13,2015). It was a magical night! This year’s Paskotitap Christmas Lights and Sounds presented 14 popular animated themed floats from action, epic, fantasy and adventure movies. Superp floats to represent reastically all the 14 movie-themed concept in distinctive characters; Dragon Ball, Sponge Bob,Pokemon,One Piece, Minion, Star Wars, Avengers, Fantastic Four, Jurassic World, Lord of the Rings, Scoobie Doo, Doraemon and Transformers. It was fun- filled excitement to see all floats colorful decorations, set up with eccentric lights, beautiful music that goes well with the float theme and participating students with elegant and ravishing outfits.
The float designs and artistry is quiet astonishing. A friend behind said, It’s spectacular! People beside me keeps on roaring, cheering and dancing. This parade attracted thousands of people and visitors around Pasig eventually rising to more this year.
This is already my 5th consecutive year of covering the Paskotitap.I had published the 4 other coverage in the past. I started way back –year 2011 during the Power Puff Girls, Kitty, and Avatar time. For the first 3 years, I’ve published only the evening coverage and all images done by night photography but last year 2014 and up the present, I’ve made double effort to photograph all details ahead of time, that was done at midday and be back again in the evening for my night details. It was a double pressure to do it twice but indeed with pleasure as well. At midday, the colorful features of the float will come out but not as vivid during the night. That’s the difference.
Initially, the event due to start at 6:oo pm but this year, it was delayed to some issues, a float generator is not working and there’s a quick rush to catch up the limited time for installation.
As originally planned to follow the parade directly all the way to Pasig City Hall for the performances and awarding of winners for Group dance contest, Best float and costume design but as expected, traffic has exploded out of proportion, I was caught in a traffic jam for hours because major roads are fully congested.
You can see here all the themed floats creative design and decorations have been brought together in almost perfect coordination possible. I’m here to share the excitement.
