Sky Blue with Muntingia Calabura

By on October 9, 2013

Morning glow of the day is to appreciate all the good things in life as it was tightly packed with treasures and beautiful scenery. Watching the flowers take its shape in the morning and rate my favorites is the reason of enjoying the beauty of nature,it is something that I loved to do with passion that gives me a better view of the things around. Photographing the white flowers with the  blue sky  background looks well in a more natural setting,it  is a learning fun and fascinating.

Sky Viewing with Muntingia Calabura or Aratiles Flower

By on September 12, 2013

My habit keeps my mind active and physically occupied for a day. Photographing these wildflowers Muntingia Calabura has something to teach as well. This is just a short lived wildflower, it will only stay for a day and I just have to shoot it immediately before the sucking insects will arrive that it may caused discoloration.

The first bloom is lovely white in full sun although it was really small but, with fine quality once you’ll seen the result. This kind of flower may not be available during rainy season, they bloom more this time and less continuously.

Previously,I’ve published the first part of these images with the black background as it was glowing in the dark. I’m very passionate to do these things in the morning.Here’s the shots taken from day to day activities.

A NEW HOPE,CHINESE NEW YEAR 2013

By on February 11, 2013

Here’s Live Life and Love wishing you all, ‘‘KUNG HEI FAT CHOI”  It’s the Lunar year of the water snake. A new year to face challenges again. Chinese New Year will start Feb.10.Those born in the year of the Horse, Rat and Ox are the luckiest for this year.Since this is the lucky year for you especially to those superstitious and believers in Chinese Astrology, it is the season to be merry admittedly, everybody is happy and Chinese majority.This year would bring abundance of money, good luck in love and healthy living. This is what life is all about, Full of surprises.

Snake characteristics; silent, patient, alert, powerful and dangerous. Influences by, those who were born on this year will inherit the traits of an animal ruling over life. Based on the background, One characteristic of a snake is poisonous. Does it mean? it brings danger to? As we humans do not like to think about the danger part, about the earth’s crust that the world is going to end, disasters, avalanches, devastating floods, droughts and famines. We also hate to think about bad health, accidents, bankruptcy, work irregularity and other frustrations to name a few. Is it a proven scientific concept?

Animals thought, brings good luck as well as bad luck too ! Is it better to leave animal bad behavior and take only the good ones?Others, they use powerful animals for campaign posters and made animal symbols very popular.I’m not here to question Western culture, however, I still believe in the power of prayers and faith. Much more to consider, the determination to work harder in order to be successful.What if we just work hard and enjoy what life has to bring? I hope this year will be a productive and harmonious year for all of us !  ”Happy Chinese New Year Everyone !

Exceptionally Attractive Muntingia Calabura

By on January 30, 2013

For the first timers, to see this kind of wildflower  Muntingia Calabura would already be a common scene that you’ll see it everywhere or anywhere in the wild. Not even good for flower arrangement and bouquet  but, if you see the  close-up shots,it would be a different thing,Of my great surprise! Muntingia Calabura flower is  exceptionally attractive and superb!

We have it in our own backyard.A tree  that can tolerate full sun. Muntingia Calabura tree was indeed a valuable one, source of shade, with the flowers and fruit together serve the insects for their needs. It doesn’t require much care and tall enough that can adapt to any types of soil; moist or dry.After the blooming, a small fruit comes out,a fruit which is also the bird’s favorite. I was inspired to shoot these tiny flowers every time and it’s my favorite summer pastime.I was already doing these for almost a year and suited for my own purpose.It’s nice to share and it seems, I’m now giving an account of my daily work.It’s just a regular work needed to be done.

Here’s my photo collection of Muntingia Calabura or Aratiles Flower

100 Most Beautiful Photos of Honeybees

By on May 21, 2012

My summer collection of honeybees.These honeybees keeps me busy during summer.Call it,”My summer love affair with the honeybees”. It’s not easy to snap these flying insects under an extreme setting, exposing my skin under the bright sun, however,it’s quiet easy to photograph something in our own backyard garden.

These photos will help you understand of what is being described in my previous post. Got a hundred images for now, But soon, I’ll upload more for my specific topics. With these great number of images, so worried that I will wake up one day and see no more bees around. I would be missing them.

To let them stay longer? Honeybees are truly attracted to a small white flower of Muntingia Calabura. I really need to take care of these trees in order for the bees to stay longer. Somehow,  nature will do the rest. I was inspired to post it here as a reminder of the long summer vacation. It might be a great time pass and entertainment to view. Feel free to point the best one. Over a hundred photos of honeybees to view!
