LIKAS, LP 96

Dahil sa may alaga kaming aso, ang bakasyon ay pinaplano na kasama siya kung lokal ito. May mga hotel dito sa Holland na allowed ang aso ay itinuturing na guests (syempre ay may bayad din sila) Noong nakaraang Sabado ay nag long weekend kaming pamilya sa aming paboritong hotel sa Southern part ng Holland, malapit ito sa dagat. Ang dagat na ito ay pamoso dahil kung susuwertihin ka ay makakakita ka ng seals.

Gusto kong magbakasakali na makakuha ng ilang litrato, bitbit pa ang isang cheapipay na largabista ay hinila ko na ang mister ko sa dagat matapos makapag almusal. Nanlumo ako pagdating namin doon dahil bukod sa halos hindi maabot ng largabista ang san bed ng mga seals ay ga-tuldok lamang sila sa aking pananaw. “Hay, bigo” sabi ko sa sarili ko.

Bumalik na kami sa hotel dahil may lunch date kami kasama ang ilang kaibigan. Habang naghihintay kami ay biglang lumapit sa aming table ang hotel owner at sinabing: `sa loob ng 2 oras ay darating ang seal ambulance na may dalang pakakawalan ng wild seals. Baka gusto ninyong makita, pumunta kayo sa dagat.` Whoa! nanlaki lalo ang dati ng malalaking mata ko sa tuwa! Hindi yata ako mabibigo….

Medyo naparami ng upload ng photos…gusto ko sanang i-share sa inyo ang na experienced ko…kakaiba kasi ito keysa sa mga seals sa captivity na ginagamit para pagkakitaan ng pera. Ito naman ay tao ang nagbibigay ng pera para sila ay protektahan. More >

Give me my ball!! (068)

**how come Sjimmie is standing straight but the water seems like tilting to the left…. because the world is round?** ;)

This is Sjimmie. The relentless bouvier of our friends Joke and George.

Sjimmie wont stop barking when he’s on the beach. He would bark, bark, bark, and bark more..pleading to give him his ball. But he can bark until he drops..he can’t have his ball.

Bad hips. That’s what he’s got. So no running is advisable for him. Have had hips operation already, if he hurts himself again, operation might not be an option anymore.

Sorry Sjimmie. That’s said with L O V E.

beach find (067)

I saw these poles from a distance while walking on this deserted beach last weekend. I knew that I just have to photograph them, so I suggested to my husband for us to walk towards them.

The poles were not as tall as I hoped for nor many in number either. Also two were buried too high in the sand that the picture I had in mind didn’t came out the way I was hoping for.

I like the color contrast though.

Charlie was on a short vacation (064-066)

We were back from our weekend getaway..or I should say, Charlie’s vacation because we chose this hotel where dogs are allowed as guests. It was in the Southern part of Holland and walking distance from the sea (Northsea.) Before heading back home (and after a heavy breakfast) we decided to walk a few kilometres..eventhough the cold wind was unforgiving..brrrr

I asked my husband (who doesn’t like holding a camera..my exact opposite, bleh! ) to please take some photos of me with Charlie..

64/365

64/365: ‘No baby don’t look at me, look at the camera’

65/365

65/365: ‘good now you’re looking..hey wait! dad’s shadow is showing..keep looking’

66/365

66/365: ‘oh great, now you’re no longer looking…oh well…let’s go home’

my housemates (062 & 063)

I was not able to upload my photo-of- the- day yesterday (project 365) thus I uploaded 2 today. Featuring my housemates.

Gray-bearded-almost-6-years-old Charlie. The family Prince. And I mean that. What he wants, he gets! Well, from my husband who really reeeeeeeaaallly spoils Charlie. Did you know at night I am not allowed to sit on the couch beside my husband? because that’s Charlie’s spot. For the past almost 6 years!

And no, I ‘m not complaining….that much. Lol!

PUNO (LP 95: Kalikasan)

Weird ba ako? Kasi naging tree hugger ako lalo na kapag nakakakita ako ng magagandang puno! Na-appreciate ko hindi lang ang ganda nila kundi pati na rin ang kahalagahan nila sa planetang ito. Minsan nga mas masarap pa kausap ang puno keysa ibang tao na mahirap umunawa. Alam nyo bang ang pinakamatandang puno ay nadiskubre sa Sweden? Sinasabing ang kanyang trunk ay mahigit-kumulang na 600 years old pero ang ugat nito ay 9,500 years old, ganuon katanda!

Pero itong puno ko, hindi ako alam kung gaano katanda. Pero ang alam ko ay isa syang magandang nilalang ng kalikasan. Napansin ko sya ng pasukin namin ang isang lugar sa Roma na puno ng ruins. Natatangi ang puno na ito na nakatayo sa parteng iyun (see 2nd photo)

Paano na kaya tayo kung walang puno sa ating paligid, ano?

Maligayang araw ng Litratong Pinoy sa inyong lahat!

Let’s go inside the Colosseum (061)

I’m postimg more than 1 photo for my project 365 this time.
They’re all clickable to enlarge.

Photo on top: A cross that would greet you upon entering the ground area of the Colosseum. Would have loved to shoot it without anyone standing there though… More >
