Bougainvillea branches that grew vertically, taken with a purple sky backdrop. There is no one taking care of these plants because the property has been abandoned so there is a wild overgrowth of the plant.

I wanted to take photos of buildings and trees but my camera is acting up so I had to do a bit of Photo Hunting with my flash drive.

Pictures I take turn dark even if these are taken outdoors and during daytime

Happy Photo Hunting!

Spiral part of a vine called ampalaya in the vernacular, otherwise known as Bitter Gourd or Bitter Melon.

Bitter gourd or bitter melon is not only a good additive to dishes but has a lot of medicinal benefits as well. These include being made into supplements for diabetics because it contains a lectin that has insulin-like activity.

That was a part of my vegetable garden last year. This year, I am starting over

Below was one of the photos I took on January 1st when I decided to do a daily 2010 project 365. Yes the blog posts may not updated but the photos are

It is fun taking photos because each photo has a story to tell, hence my blog name, Photo Stories.

Though the inspiration to capture what one sees as a good image may make one lose interest and get bored, for me, taking photos, albeit what I think for me are good enough , is better than reading about insurance quotes and waiting for the paint to dry.

Others may not consider my work as masterpieces. I don’t really mind at all, as long as I am happy and still able to take photos I find interesting. After all, photos are captured moments that can be enjoyed without sweating the tech stuff.

Have fun Photo Hunting, remember, taking photos is one of the many ways we have stopped time

The sun’s rays has broken through the clouds to cast a beautiful sky scene. In this other entry, something has broken inside the third floor windows.

I featured this sky scene in my 2010 Project 365 (not the same photo though)

The North Face brings you Thrill of the Trail NUVALI happening on Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2010 at the Nuvali, San Pedro, Laguna.

Since this is an event happening on Valentine’s Day, Thrill of the Trail NUVALI decided to add twist to the fun of doing trail running! What is it? There is an 11k Couples category where the couples participating in the trail run need to cross the finish line together while holding each other’s hand. No gender restrictions for the running couples.

Did I get you interested? Then be a  fan of the Thrill of the Trail Facebook fan page.

Sweeeet! Talk about HHWW (holding hands while walking or in this case, while finishing a trail run).

This trail run seems so much more fun than doing a run on paved road.

Full moon before Yule and Shell Lamps entries.

When we went home to visit my parents the other week, I asked my husband that I wanted to take photos of a creek beside the road. We were able to stop on our way back home so the photos I took were “dusky”. Not sure if it really is a creek although the body of water is definitely smaller than a river:

It would have been more fun to have the children wade in the water but they were asleep when I went down for the photos. I hope they can do that when we come back for a visit.

Have a fun weekend y’all!
