Life In A Snapshot

Sunset on new year’s eve at Paradise Island Beach Park and Resort in Samal Island, Davao del Norte. Excuse the dust spots. The giotto’s rocket blower isn’t that effective to clean the camera’s sensor. Bad!

It’s a clear day and so perfect to go to the beach!

Taken last summer at Chema’s by the Sea, Samal Island.

Join Looking at the Sky on Friday here.

After hours of travel from Canibad Beach Resort, a beach where we had our lunch last Sunday, we finally saw BIG LIGID. Behind that island is a smaller one they call SMALL LIGID. Thanks to the wonderful weather that we have that day. See the very calm sea….as if we’re in a lake, and the beautiful blue sky with some fluffy clouds at the distance. Who would think that a typhoon hit the region 2 days before the travel and we’re under storm signal number 1 with such fine weather?

This is BIG LIGID. An island owned by the known Ayala family here in Davao City. It is one of the best dive sites in the area.

Happy Sky Watch everybody! Join the fun here.

I have noticed I am only consistent in posting for one meme in this blog. I think I never failed to post for Sky Watch here. For the most obvious reason, I don’t fail to take the opportunity to show my piece of sky because I love taking sky photos and I am enjoying this meme so much. Anyway, here’s a photo I took days ago from our yard. I remember ranting about how unlucky I am to not have a very clear view of the sky from our place because of the coconut trees around the yard and the bananas of the neighbors. They are all blocking a very beautiful view of the sky especially during sunset. Anyway, here’s a photo I took one afternoon. Rain clouds are forming in the east but I noticed a different color of sun’s rays peeping through our main door so I went out to check what’s happening. I was really awed at the sight of different shades of clouds in the west and the deep blue sky. Hurriedly I took the camera inside the house and aim it in the sky….regardless of the banana leaves that are blocking my view. 

Happy Friday! Visit here for more gorgeous photos of the sky.

Ace and I joined the sunrise shoot in Sta. Ana Wharf las Saturday. It was our first time to shoot away from home for a sunrise. When we arrived at the location, it’s already daybreak and here’s my first photo for the day while walking to where my fellow shooters were posted. 

Happy WS everybody! Join us here and have fun!

Happy Scenic Sunday everybody! Join us here.

My sunset photo is here again for most obvious reason – I love sunsets! Here’s a warm before -the-sunset photo taken last month. It’s been quite sometime since I had a sunset shoot due to the weather and I am hoping I could catch it next week ‘coz I already miss my “me and nature” time. I wonder how my sunset shots would look using a CPL. Happy Sky Watch!

Landscape photography is addicting. Isn’t it obvious? I think I already bored you for posting sunsets taken in the same spot. But as I have mentioned in my previous post, I would not get tired going back to my favorite sunset spot over and over again. Not now that I have discovered a trek going to a higher place. I am sure sunset over there is much more breathtaking. I hope I could go there next week to have another sunset shoot. Who wanted another sunset shoot from me? Raise your eyebrows.LOL. Just kidding. Happy Friday!

 What could I say? Nature is so wonderful and unpredictable. After weeks of overcast afternoons, yesterday (August 14) was one of the best. I peeked out of the window if thick clouds are covering the west and I am glad it was not so I grab the Canon 400D and off I went to my favorite sunset watching spot. Many times I have watched the sun going down but no two sunsets are the same even I am in the same place. I wouldn’t get tired of going in the same place over and over again to watch the sun go down. Happy Friday! More of Sky Watchers here. More of sunset photos in my flickr.

I had a truly great weekend by spending it at the beach. It’s the first time that I was out of the house on a Saturday, for the whole day. Also, my first time to be in this particular resort and I love it cool and so relaxing. Will be back here to swim one day with hubby.

Here’s another photo…siblings walking by the beach. So cute!!!!
