We went biking and walking Sunday morning at a nearby sprawling campus. It was a bit late when we started and I must say the weather is getting a bit warm these days.
The younger children and hubby rode on their bike and I walked.
I got interested in taking a photo of one of the colleges, the one near where we were staying under a shade. I saw a man with a tripod who was taking photos of the building so I took a photo too 😀

Cleaning up is not a house chore that I look forward to. Sure, I could do that but I would rather do other things like cook, blog, homeschool, read a book, watch DVD, and sleep till noon.
At times I wish to be a SAHM so I can do the chores that need to be done.
It is just perfect that am able to bring our laundry to Lynn‘s shop and that chore alone has removed a big burden on my shoulders. Even backyard gardening seemed easy with Manang Salve around when I need her.
Back to cleaning up. What are some of the things we need, I mean I need to clean up?

It was almost about this time last year when we had some fresh blueberries given by a student. It is from a place up north where these can be bought fresh and not frozen. All things berries like strawberries and blackberries can be bought there.
I wonder if they sell strawberry, blueberry or Blackberry plants? Still I would wonder if these will survive the hot temperature we have here in the lowlands.
Now that I have started baking, I am craving for some fresh blueberries so that I can make blueberry muffins. Now these definitely wold be bestsellers with my children 🙂

With Valentine’s Day just a few days away, almost everyone is talking about love, love and love.
We see red and pink decorations in the malls. There are many items on sale (as if one can hear “Buy Me! Buy Me!”) that are geared towards this day of hearts like personal items, concert tickets, pillar candles to add romance on the dining table, and even edible underpants 😀
I have decided to ask this question to prep us up for the coming Hearts Day:
What are your favorite romantic movies of all time?
My answer:

There are several things things that make a photo look good.
Does the subject look more interesting in the photo than in real life? Does the photo show creativity? Is the lighting adequate? Does it have good color balance? Is the subject recognizable? Are your hands stable enough or do you need a tripod?
The questions above are just a few of the things that can be asked in being able to say that one has taken good photographs.
As I have heard people say, it is not how advanced nor how expensive the camera is but how a photographer is able to see things through the lens and being able to capture these make one a good photographer.
I still have some trouble taking great food photos but in time, I hope, I would be able to do these with pride 🙂
