Photos from Lake Sebu, South Cotabato and Gumasa, Sarangani, Philippines. It was a 1-week vacation shooting waterfalls, beaches, old houses, people, things, plants, animals, visit to indigenous peoples, and whatever things we fancy. We had several transportation system too: planes, boats, raft, motorcycles, tricycles, jeepneys, vans, zipline and walk on foot. We woke up early to chase sunrise, went home late sending off sunsets. We played, went swimming, laughed and ate a lot. How wonderful if this is our job, just like our two friends who let us join them while they work. We spend time and money to have fun, they have fun to have money.
...and these are some of my shadow shots!

Awesome, superb shadow shots for the day, Andrea! I love them all! Hope your weekend is going well! Look forward to seeing more of your captures!!

I have to echo what Sylvia said in that the shots are superb. I can't decide which one I like best but that one of the boat on the water-so crystal clear and perfect.
ReplyDeleteTerrific photos Andrea! I especially enjoyed the first in the collection!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit. To answer your question, if this greenhouse is like the one I worked at, they overwinter what doesn't sell, with the likely exceptions being annuals and vegetable plants. But those they might sell out of.
What a beautiful place to visit! I love all your shadow shots.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.
Great shadow shots! My favourite would be the second one and the crabs.
ReplyDeleteI noted your signature shot! :)
Why didn't you invite me!?! :-D What a fabulous trip, Andrea! A fun-fab series of shadows and reflections. I'll be back to see more of your vacation shots of southern Mindanao.
ReplyDelete[Yes, Guizhou is a bit like Ifugao, although the terraces in Banaue are better. I've been eager to get back there! Do you know what is the best time to go to get the light green rice fields?]
Fantastic shadows indeed! Love them all.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, Andrea. The crab on the beach is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteFabulous shadows you've found in and around the beautiful lake.
ReplyDeleteSTILT WALKER?

One - my profile photo here is actually a shadow shot too, but it's on a cement floor instead of water. Of course you will love the crab because that's the only critter there.
Francisca - how can you join me in my trips when you are always in some remote country somewhere, i think you don't stay home for at least a month. haha, I am the one who wants to be with you. About timing for Banawe, i will ask first my friends and will tell you later. Thanks.

Eileeninmd - many love that crab shot, and we also love it while taking the photos, where we also had good laughs.

Black eyed Susan's Kitchen - Oh i think you love that crab for the kitchen! Oh no poor crab! LOL, thank you so much for appreciating.

Autumn Belle - I know you will feel that for me, as you are a dear friend. But those are photos from early travels last year, which i thought are just ordinary.
