Our frequent visitor everyday; the tree sparrows and the gray wagtail birds.They come everyday for a red treat! The Manzanita tree will provide the fruit treat,a sweet red fruit that they enjoy. Being familiar with them, gave me the opportunity to get closer without using blinds to deceive them.It was just a natural thing with their free will to get in touch with me closer than expected. It seems, they are already used to my presence everyday but, what irritates me most is the noisy sound they produced,It sounds like a rattle shaking with hard stones inside. It was really very annoying and, disturbing to the brain. Despite these things going on around, I will consider to get some few shots today. I was inside the bedroom photographing through the window for a close range. I was even fascinated with the outcome of the close-up shots.It was natural in color.This is the good thing of being familiar with the birds behavior and activities. I don’t need to trail their time and location,they are very near to my sight. Gray wagtail bird is one of the most common bird in the Philippines. It is distinguished by his gray color and the long tail that wags. Just a few close-up shots!

How wonderful to see the brilliant lights of the morning sun.The light of the day has different amount of colors. Major colors when mixed together, blending into each other such as; yellow, red, orange, violet, indigo and blue. It produces vibrant and vivid colors especially when it strikes into an object.

REFLECTIONS THROUGH CAR SIDE MIRROR
By livelifeandlove on October 2, 2012When it comes to road trip,You’ll see spectacular scenery comes along the way. To keep my boredom away, I have photographed scenery through the car side mirror.The reflection through is good.It’s obvious that the driver is in charge,and I was beside entertaining myself getting spectacular reflections while the car is in motion. I just love the Toyota Innova, It’s spacious and has a bigger chrome side mirror that makes me comfortable to point my camera through the right side. Not to mention the cool air ceiling conditioning system. For me,It’s the best choice! Here’s the first shot taken along the way using the reflections on the right side of the car side mirror.
Parasol as a sunshield.
The glorious sun appeared revealing the beauty of the day.The beauty of light gives fullness of life to start a beautiful day.I’ve been keeping this parasol for more than 2 years.A parasol is a handy paper umbrella.A gorgeous sunshield.I bought it from bargain sale at the night market in Bangkok. It’s made out of thick Thai paper and bamboo with a traditional Chinese floral designs but, it’s durable.Parasol is useful under the hot weather, blocking the striking sunrays but, not good for rainy days.
Over the past years of blogging, I have been interested in photography. During that time, I was only a beginner, of course as a food blogger, I took photos of different foods on the table, animals, landscapes, sunset and flowers. Shooting images from straight in front of the subject is easy. For me,macro is the easiest. You might be thinking I’m a pro. now. No! Got some bad photos and thanks God! more on good ones. I will resolved to consider everything. I’m still learning following basic guide and some tips online and following the rules of cardinal photography. What is important is the determination and interest to do it. Learning from mistakes is the best teacher and thanks to my mentor, professional photographer of a famous magazine, a huge help to me, always pushing me to be patient and demanding me to do my best as well.A lot of times, my dedication to my work always pays off! How encouraging! Here’s my snapshots for the day. Got some underground snapshots of Manzanita flower inside the cave.

LEAF-CUTTER BEE NEST
By livelifeandlove onThe leaf-cutter bee nest was a waterproof nest.A home of their own choice which is well-planned.It looks like a cigar-tube.It was firmly rolled,well packed and quality intended to protect leaf-cutter bees from rain and, less likely to be attacked by enemies.I don’t see natural ventilation here,it seems to be closely-packed that even the air cannot enter.
Leaf-cutter bees gathered materials from these leaf and the next, you’ll see how well it was cut into circles. Just like humans too, They have different sizes of materials for specific purpose depending on the size on how big and long the cigar-like nest.
Damage on the leaves. Gathering piece by piece would be time consuming.Anyway,They cut it for a purpose and essential to their own survival.
