Just another experiment with macro shots. I just love my new camera, a Canon Digital IXUS 120IS, it has a foliage features that none of my two previous digital cameras have and I could finally add watermarks on every picture…how nice!
This is just my 89th post after three years of blogging. But I have always been updated with my main blog. You can find the link here on the right corner of the blog. I’ve recently took shots of our garden blooms. Summer is here and more blooms could be seen. […]
I have a whole album of quotes that I made into memes. Some are passages from the Bible, some are words from famous people. This is one of them. Gosh, it took me so long to update this blog but I regularly post in my main blog, Dreams and Escapes. Good morning everyone 🙂
I want first of all, to be at peace with myself. I want a singleness of eye, a purity of intention, a central core to my life that will enable me to carry out….obligations and activities as well as I can. I want in fact – to borrow from the language of the Saints – […]

I love mums in all its different colors. It’s one thing that I once attempted to grow in my garden but it didn’t survive. It is a hardy flower though and need full sun and well-draining soil. I actually bought this cluster in a pot and it was expensive but it didn’t last long. My […]
Oh my goodness, I was busy keeping my main site updated that I clearly forgot to visit this blog for quite a while. Shame on me. I miss those times we used to go on road trips and discover places. I miss those days just driving around and seeing those beautiful and lovely views of […]
It’s been a while since I updated this blog. I am more focused on my main blog Dreams and Escapes updating it almost every day that I clearly forgot to update this site. Good morning everyone!
These flowers used to be permanent fixtures in my small garden. I had the lone shrub for years and it produces such lovely white flowers every year. Some months ago, the leaves slowly turned yellow then they dried up to brittle brown ones. This afternoon, my son and I decided to finally put it […]
It was one of those days when having fresh flowers in a vase would really perk you up. I wish I could also grow mums here but I think they need a colder climate than our hot, hot weather. Most flowers like these come from the cold clime of Baguio City up north.
A few years ago, I tried my hand at macro photography, just ordinary photos. I found these colorful Macopa growing in our yard and some Mangoes which my brother picked from our trees. Mangoes are in season now. They are best eaten ripe like this or you can also eat them green with a […]
The second picture down is much sharper than the others (at least on my monitor) Arlene, though it is all an excellent attempt at Macro, and your efforts are to be applauded. Unless it is important to you, I would leave out the date function, as it obscures some detail.
Regards from England. Pete.

Yeay, I know, these are actually so amateurish. Just can’t erase them because they were my first attempt with my Canon cam, so long ago and I learned to leave the dates in the succeeding ones. I wonder if you could also visit my other site called Cams and Photos and give me your honest opinion on the entries there.
Thank you so much Pete for the advice, I deeply appreciate it.
