... I thank you all!!!

 

Today, my photo made it to explore/interestingness.. making it my 100th. And it's all because of you, my dear friends!!

 

When I first joined Flickr 6 months ago.. I never knew about explore or why is it important to be seen on it.. I was just enjoying posting my photos and getting comments and advices from those who appreciates them... and that's still what I feel even now.

 

Well of course, it still gives a kind of high and fulfillment every time I see one of mine on explore.. but it's just a little perk that we get once in a while.. the true joy that I feel comes from you all.. knowing that you were moved.. elated.. touched.. or somehow inspired by one of my creations.. that is what is more important to me... 'cause with that, I won't need to be in explore to know that my work is appreciated..

 

So please allow me to offer you this lovely flower, as sign of my unending gratitude to all of you!.. my dear friends!!!

 

On Explore!....Again, THANK YOU!!!

This time, the season has really started. 5 species seen and shot yesterday !

This Calopteryx Virgo was very friendly.

Have a nice weekend, my Flickr friends.

I like marbles. I like macro photography. Hence . . .

When the haunting silence of the darkness hangs like a shadow within the depths of your heart,

when you are in exile within your own mind,

when your heart is empty and is merely watered by the tears of your agonized and anguished soul,

when your wounds cry out to be healed,

when you no longer believe in yourself,

when you have become a fugitive within your own mind and shackled like a slave within your own insanity,

 

refuse with every last drop of sacred blood within your bruised and battered body, to surrender your soul to the pains of your existence.

 

You will conquer all that you believe cannot be conquered and all that which you believed you had lost within your life.

 

What holds you together is far greater than what can tear you apart!

 

*this lesson I learned the hard way... but 'm glad I've gone throught it, and I survived!*

Mosquito (from the Portuguese meaning "small fly") is a common flying insect in the family Culicidae that is found around the world. There are about 3,500 species of mosquitoes. They have a pair of scaled wings, a pair of halteres, a slender body, and six long legs. The females of most mosquito species suck blood (hematophagy) from other animals, which has made them the deadliest disease vector known, killing millions of people over thousands of years and continuing to kill millions per year by the spread of infectious diseases.

I was very much surprised today when I saw this Beautiful Black Bee cleaning itself, upon this wonderful detailed flower. I managed to get some shots of this Awesome image. The details of the Bee and Flower are Spectacular to say the least.

 

Taken in the village of Jelsa, on the island of Hvar, Croatia.

This is NOT a macro-type shot. It was a discovered opportunity, made from a distance with a long lens. Macro level detail is definitely not present in this picture.

After letting a thunderstorm pass, I decided to shoot at the Baguio City Orchidarium, after sending my daughter to school. This is one of my shots from the visit at the orchidarium.

 

Have a wonderful Monday everyone. :-)

This photo reminds me of the old Marx Brothers' mirror routine from the movie Duck Soup. Look it up, it is hilarious. Lucille Ball teamed up with Harpo Marx in her sitcom in the 50's to recreate this classic sketch.
