memory of autumn (031)

Jan 31st

I meant to post this color-selected-photo last year. During fall to be exact. But I lost it somehwre in my files and only now that I was able to accidentally come across it.

One of the most reddish leaf I’ve seen that time. I like red. And I go gaga when I see red leaves. That’s why I like the color of Autumn.

I was aiming for the flower but my photo came out totally out of focus. I find it becoming difficult to focus on subjects at long distances. This flower is floating in the water, a man made pool located in the hotel garden.

Do you think I need to visit an optometrist?

She was too far away from where I was. I wanted to call out and buy lollyice from her that day.

Walking miles of sand daily, just to earn a few bucks perhaps so that she can provide her family food on the table. Whether in Philippines, Malaysia, or like this in Thailand, women (and men) like her is a common site on beaches , sometimes even when the sun doesn’t shine.

So the next time you see one…buy something from them, will you?

Entrepreneur in English is a term applied to the type of personality who is willing to take upon herself or himself a new venture or enterprise and accepts full responsibility for the outcome.

I wasn’t so sure what this guy with shirts-on-hangers really was doing on the beach. He stops by people he sees along and looks like offering them shirts.

Hats off to him! Odd work or not, I respect people like him who works hard for a living, decent way.

Isang parte ito ng aming bakasyon sa bansang Thailand na hindi ko makakalimutan. Involved dito ay isang pamilya ng squirrel.
Sa aming paboritong hotel (at dati kong pinagtrabauhan) ay may ilan na ring uri ng hayop at ibon akong nakita na hindi mo normal na makikita sa araw-araw. Dito ako may pet ng baby elephant nuong early 1990’s dahil ang hotel noon ay may baby elephant na mascot. Tuwing umaga ay ipinapasyal ito ng kanyang trainer sa iba’t ibang facilidad ng hotel para batiin ang mga hotel guests. Sa ngayon ay ipinagbawal na ng hari ang pagta-trabaho sa mga elepante, na positibong hakbang kung ako ang tatanungin.

Pero bago ako maligaw, balik na tayo sa aking akda.
Isang araw habang nakabilad ang aking mister sa araw sa may pool, ako naman ay namasyal sa paligid. Maraming puno na mahusay na inaalagaan ng mga hardinero dito kaya di kataka-takang pamahayan ng mga squirrels ang mga ito. Dahil hitik sa bunga na kanilang kinakain!
Habang naglalakad ay nakarinig ako ng maliit ng ingay! Aha! May nakita akong nagtatakbuhan sa di-kalayuan. Dali-dali kong tinakbo ang aking camera na binabantayan ni irog at binalak ko ‘mahuli’ ang cute na pamilya!
Hindi ako sure pero parang ito si mama squirrel, tipong pinapagalitan nya si junior dahil ang ingay nito at kung saan-saan nagtatakbo! Aha ulit! Gusto kong makuhanan ng larawan ang makulit na baby squirrel kaya binalak kong abangan sya….
