Horses
We love hiking. If there’s a good walking/hiking trail at home, we’d be going there on a regular basis. Alas, where we live, everything is paved and we have to drive several minutes half an hour or so to where the trees are. When opportunities to hike present itself, we hike.
We tend to enjoy the scenery, breathe the fresh air and take in as much as we can visually. We take photos of course, and as the saying goes, we only take photos, leave behind our footprints and bring home memories.
During last weekend’s hiking, we saw these horses relaxing under the shade of the trees. My daughter remarked that if only we have equestrian apparel, she’d love to ride on those horses.
Knowing she loves riding, that was not a surprise. She used to ride horses at the nearby park when she was younger. The park is now more “modernized” with rides and so the horses had to go. Sad.

Kulay Abo
May pagkakataong ang kulay abo ay tila hindi exciting. May pagkakataong ito naman ay tila ayos lang, depende sa mood ng tumitingin.
Para sa akin, ang kulay abo, lalo na kung titignan sa kalagayan ng panahon, ay katumbas ng tila malungkot, di maintindihan at nakaka-allergy attack na araw. Kung sa kasuotan naman, para sa akin, ito ay isang neutral color na pwede iterno kahit sa ano’ng kulay upang maging mas kaiga-igaya.
Sa pagkakataong ito, masasabi kong ang kulay abo ng tulay na daraanan ng mga malilit na bangka ay tamang-tama sa pag-blend sa kapaligiran.
Marahil kung ito ay makulay, magiging masakit sa mata. Kung berde naman, magmumukhang camouflage.

Pagmimina sa Pilipinas
Sa kabila ng pagsasabing “It’s more fun in the Philippines” dapat din bigyan ng pansin ang nakalulungkot na kalagayan ng ating kapiligiran bunga ng pagmimina.
Narito ang ilang mga larawang nagpapakita ng ilan lang mga lugar na mayroong pagmimina sa Pilipinas:
Surigao del Sur
Rapu-rapu
Benguet
Walang watermark kasi ang mga ito ay larawan ng mga larawang kinunan ko mula sa isang diskusyon tungkol sa pagmimina sa Pilipinas, partikular sa Palawan.
Unpredictable
Crazy weather is making a lot of people sick these days. It is always a puzzle whether to bring Persol sunglasses or umbrella. Or maybe one opted to stay in the house or brave the now “it is just drizzling that becomes a heavy downpour that ends up with the sun shining brightly” kind of weather.
Last Friday night’s heavy downpour caused the ceiling where I work to leak and water came pouring through. My seat is wet, the squishy kind of wet because it is an office chair. Good thing my work-materials are intact because these have are covered with big plastic covers. Some books were partly wet. Argh.
I miss summer days.
