country drive

sometimes when the world seems to get the better of me, or just when i'm weary of the hustle and bustle of city living, a short scenic drive in the country is all i need to revive my worn-out soul or lift my sagging spirits.

all photos taken inside our moving vehicle. of course, my hubby was behind the wheel while i was behind the lens.

dejavu? well, i just have a love affair with clouds. i can't get enough of them. and i think the clouds provide much-needed contrast to an otherwise boring country scene.

mellow yellow

inspired by my friend's (jopie) post about the color yellow, and the happy feelings conjured by such color, (she had a beautiful yellow chrysanthemum on her blog), i decided to dig out old photos of my erin wearing yellow, because i've always thought yellow suits her well, and these are some of my fave shots of her.

yellow was always my favorite color when i was a kid (it's lime green now), but i don't think i carry yellow very well, but nonetheless, yellow is such a happy color. i never realized how much a color affects your mood or how you feel until i saw that bright yellow crysanthemum. maybe because the flower also happens to be my birth-flower (november).

my erin has a very happy disposition, always bubbly and smiling... that's why i think yellow suits her well...she's sunny and lively...but mellow at the same time.

a lot of people think she's a mini-me. well, she has my sense of humor...(and the round face, like that of the sun).

black and white

i am still in high spirits over finding my supposed-to-be missing files. i scanned through images after images, and i came across these ones of my kids. they were taken sometime during the colder months. i thought i'd try the black and white treatment because eventhough sometimes it feels like everything is only written in black and white, i know in my heart, my world is rich in colors because of my kids.

focused on something

there are times when they can't seem to stop bickering, but when they have moments like this, they simply light up my life and color my world

the cam focused on her hand rather than her face. it somehow draws my attention to her reflection
