maybe another place, another time...
i wish i was out in the field with nature at its own habitat but i guess it will have to wait for another day. it has been quite stormy here in manila this past few weeks. i remember last year when we hardly had any rain. nature can be so fickle!
i shot this at home, with the 85 F1.4 and it produces such delicious bokeh!

ok it's time to feature one of my lovely models again...
together with the gerbera and the orchid, this has become one of my favorite macro subjects! i hope i can get an insect to pose for me one day, but until then, its flowers for me. lol!!!
it does have a bit of a bokeh, so i guess i can greet you a happy bokeh day!!! EHBD!

pure and simple
what do you see in the middle of the orchid? a bird or an angel? it is fascinating how nature takes on certain forms. maybe some form of natural mimicry? or a play on the human mind?

walking on sunshine
one for my gerbera and the sunset series. a red hot manila bay sunset served as the background for this gerbera silhouette. nowadays it is very rare to see such a beautifully colored manila bay sunset as rains usually come in the afternoons.
have a great day everyone!

this small colorful flower is probably one of the butterfly's favorite. i can only begin to imagine the sweetness of its nectar.

It's wednesday, and although to may it is bokeh day, for me everyday is indeed a good day as any to show off beautiful bokeh!
one of the small flowerettes in my garden. loving the way the light seems to caress the minute petals!
happy bokeh day everyone!

nature abstracted
these are real orchids against an abstract painting.
seen at the lobby of my hotel in milan, i thought the wonderful curves of nature blended well with the colors and textures of the abstract behind.
