flowers

lately, it has been very very hot. summer has definitely arrived, and it has kept its promise of being the warmest season of the year. while i used to love summer when i was much much younger because it meant beachtime, or what i used to refer as the sea, sand and sun season, i cannot seem to bear the heat anymore. perhaps, i am getting too old now. and i miss spring, when it is cool but not cold, warm but not hot...and everything seems refreshing. when it brings with it the promise of hope, as seen in every budding flower. a time when flowers are in perfect bloom, and beauty just surrounds you...so, i just had to dig up those old spring photos i took of last season...to remind me there will be some relief to this heat.




"Each flower is a soul opening out to nature."- Gerald de Nerval



"The earth laughs in flowers."- Ralph Waldo Emerson



"Flowers leave some of their fragrance in the hand that bestows them."- Chinese proverb



"What a desolate place would be a world without a flower! It would be a face without a smile, a feast without a welcome. Are not flowers the stars of the earth, and are not our stars the flowers of heaven?"- A.J. Balfour

Flowers are so comforting! I can't wait for spring when I can shoot flowers.

Keth, you should make your photos bigger--they are beautiful!!!

keth, these are beautiful!

cinds and liz, i echo you. oh spring, you cannot come soon enough!

keth, liza showed me how you can enlarge your photos. i tried it on my own blogspot and will send you an email with screen shots. no need to host your photos elsewhere.

syndee, liza and jopie, thanks. at least kamo, would have spring soon. it's a long way to go pa for me. but then, there's autumn too.

cinds and jops, i am trying to figure out how to make my photos bigger without spending too much time infront of the pc, because i don't have the time to spare. i tried before, as per jopie's very kind effort, but it didn't work for me because i opted to directly upload from picasa because it's just very easy and convenient. one click lang.

jops, i would really appreciate if you can email me the "secret". thank you very much for being so thoughtful and kind as to bother with giving me instructions to improve my photoblog. i appreciate it gyud super. i'll be looking forward to that.

The Blogger

i love the beach. i talk a lot. i love to write. i don't necessarily make sense though. i take lots of photographs. i'm not good, but i love it. it gives me a sense of joy capturing moments that otherwise would just have slipped by. i sing, much to my family's chagrin. i love scrapbooking, but don't have the time. as a child, i chased after dragonflies, climbed mango trees and even coconut trees, and fell in love with the fireflies in my lola's hometown of bohol. i love cebu. it will always be home. i adore my beautiful kids. i am married to my bestfriend. and i am so blessed with their love.
