Flowers and a Dragonfly

Dragonfly
The dragonfly I am proud to shoot (with a camera)


Still with the "macro fever," shots from Villa Igang on the two early mornings I was there taking a walk by myself. By myself again in an early morning (photo) walk.

Flowers in Baras Beach Resort

Still fascinated with macro shots, here are a few more flowers from Baras Beach Resort, taken on August 31 during our island hopping escapade.

Again, I don't know this flower or plant.


Baras is simply beautiful. Lots of flowers, green grass, refreshing air, friendly staff, recreations (boating, billiards, basketball, volleyball, hammocks, etc.)

The rooms also offer great views (at least the ones that I saw.) Rooms, I guess, are not air-conditioned. It's a beach, anyway.

Flowers in Trappist Monastery

Lavender Flower

I used not to enjoy "macro shots." I was not good at it. Then in Trappist Monastery on my trip to Guimaras (August 30), I saw Abi taking a photo of the yellow bells. Macro shot. I tried it with the borrowed digicam I was using.

Fun! That's what I can say. And beautiful.

The photo above was one of the really good shots I got. The yellow bell did not turn out to be astounding. Here's another one that passed my "standards."

Purple Flower

I just don't know what these flowers are called. :)
