Stuck On You

Lauren Joy, our granddaughter, celebrated her 3rd birthday this past weekend. She turned three this September 22,2011 - Thank You Lord (TYL)


Among her guests ;-) - Diego, Tico, Boots, Dora, Swiper






There were also the mother and daughter team of Ging-Ging and Nonz stuck on each other.


Stuck on the wall was Super Lauren's poster, it says "Super Lauren to the rescue!" Tita Pam put this poster together for Super Lauren Joy.


There's Tita Pam stuck to Super Lauren - face to face.


Stuck on the other hallway wall is another poster of our birthday celebrant - Super Lauren.


Grandma (Lola) Nil happily poses beside Lauren's birthday poster.


Stuck to the fence in the backyard were balloons and letters that read "Oh Na Na I Am 3" (Rihanna inspired)


We are lovingly stuck to each other - Oh Na Na Stick With Me ;-)

Macro-zooming frame of mind

Rain just stopped, the plants happy with the soaking they have received from above, what an opportunity to take these close up shots with my Fuji Fine Pix HD10 camera - telephoto + macro-zoom mode.


leaves sipping water to quench their thirst


the beads of rain hanging on to the flower petal as long as it could


another bud about to bloom to show off its beautiful red color


just like having multiple arms stretched out to heaven, praising the Creator for its beauty


the little bud that's about to bloom says to the full blown flower beside it - I will be like you someday


love the contrast, depth of field


more of these in Tita Nil's flower garden


this just reminds me of the celery leaves


just hanging in there for a little bit more


Thank You Lord
