Blowing Ring Bubbles in the Sky

By livelifeandlove on September 7, 2015

Blowing soap bubbles is a fun way for the kids to enjoy the hot day especially during weekends.The first thing that probably comes into your mind when you hear blowing bubbles, (not underwater bubbles, not smoke ring) it’s soap bubbles in the air, it’s a kid’s play, Ohh yes! Great fun and mood lifter for the kids.

Capturing the vibrant color of ring bubbles in the sky

To capture the vibrant colors, it’s better to do it during hot day, hot weather is the best opportunity because it brings out and makes most vibrant colors. To see my own shots, it reminds me of my childhood days, that was long time ago, me with my cousin use to blow ring bubbles together, we are enjoying it under the big tree. That was really fun for us, i can still remember the good old days but how fast time flies? it seems like yesterday…

I’ve captured just a few photos and worth to share. Let’s get started!

Fly, fly and away….

Vinca Periwinkle

By livelifeandlove on August 26, 2015

Vinca Periwinkle are tropical plants with 5 petaled flowers and dark green glossy leaves. The variety of colors from rosy pink to light pink, pure white, fuschia, purple, pink rose with rose eye and white with pink eye centers. Vincas are not scented flowers but sunit looks brightly attractive under the, they can stand to the hot condition of full sun, humidity and dry soil too.

Just as good and ideal to the kind of climate we have here. I don’t control the overgrowth of vincas in the backyard even if they are over-crowded because it looks good. If you alternate the different color combinations, it gives a vibrant delight in the garden.

By livelifeandlove on August 17, 2015

Miniature roses with semi-doubled petals, it’s just like the hybrid ones but in tiny version. Miniature roses are reproduced by cutting and multiplied through grafting.To ensure continuous blooming, a bit care to remove the dried blooms. It’s a cute container plant and good as house plants as it may also looks good as table centerpiece.

St Jerome Parish Church

By livelifeandlove on July 30, 2015

A beautiful old church with an architectural masterpiece during the Spanish era, carefully preserved and restored up to the present. If you look from the distance, the exterior and interior design was great. The interior design, it’s truly a work of art. As far as I can remember, it was Holy Week when I took these photos, it was Maundy Thursday.

Raindrops

By livelifeandlove on July 15, 2015

It’s a transition from dry to rainy season. Summer ends and rainy season starts, there’s a great change in temperature from day to night, it’s hot in the morning although the afternoon brings slow showers to make surroundings bit cool. In our area, the skies are clear but when night comes, we experienced occasional rains and thunderstorms. I really hate the flash of lightning and growling thunder, the rain coming down so hard, I could barely keep my eyes open and stand up to close the side window. Disturbing huh!

There’s also a sudden change of schedule, I missed my summer activities. Outdoor photography is more limited nowadays because dark clouds are forming early in the afternoon but I can go on activities in the morning and stop in the afternoon. Sometimes, if you experienced too much rain and ground is messy wet and slippery, you’ll miss summertime, I would also be missing the sunset snaps too.

After the strong winds and dark clouds, the rain comes. I took these raindrop photos in the morning, just as after the downpour.

Just as summer is the best time to do all outdoor photography, the warmth from the sun makes surprisingly comfortable when it comes to outdoor activities. Earlier,I stored more photos to my folder, all those interesting snaps taken last summer such as; sunset, beautiful landscape and wildlife which is tough to handle because of the bug bites and few blisters, it’s alright! All photos stored up here is already sufficient to ensure continuous posting for a month, I need not to worry about my blog photos anymore.

The dry land flakes last summer. I hate to see dry lands..

Beautiful Sunflowers

By livelifeandlove on July 13, 2015

Collecting seeds from sunflowers is fun, much more if you see them growing in your own garden. Last summer, I’ve collected few seeds of sunflowers in Tagaytay garden. What I did, I separated seeds from the pods and spread it in a dry place under the sun to give them time to dry. A week after, I stored them in a container waiting for my free time to plant. I’ve planted them on the corners of the garden, some on the borders. A month after, It’s nice to see the first bloom of the hybrid variety.What a beautiful sunflower! Sunflowers, they prefer full sun and grow in any kind of soil. Our soil in the garden is quite dry and rocky still, the sunflowers can withstand the high heat, they are really tolerant of heat and drought.
