Butterfly Haven

Well well well... At last! I can post now some of my shots at Butterfly Haven... I’ve been busy po kasi lately and don’t have enough time to create this post... Well it was during my vacation last month and before mag end ang bakasyon, Me and my kids together with their cousins, Kuya Mario, Tatay and Tita Bunso were there last 25th of February 2008. Holiday po kasi that time and a day before ina-aya na ako ng aming chikitng na mag swimming... Well of course! Why not!?Minsan lang ako mag-vacation no!? And plano ko po talagang mag swimming kami... Early morning palang that day, excited na ang mga bata and actually 6:00am palang ay gising na ang mga chikiting and nagyayaya na... So I packed all we need and go... The entrance is costing P100.00 per head including kids 6 yrs. old above... Medyo expensive pero sulit naman and okay ang facilities... Then when you want to go inside the butterflies sanctuary you need to pay P75.00 per head... Kaya sinulit ko rin ang entrance ko! So when I enter the sanctuary, I started looking around for some butterflies and while preparing my gear I saw one butterfly that I guess is new and just came out from her cocoon... It’s nice to see that one, for me... It's their way of saying welcome...

The place has three pools, one is with fountains at the middle and good for kids the other one is for adults which maybe 5 ½ feet in deep and the other one is also for kids where they enjoy a lot... It’s like a semi U shape formation and in the middle are the tables where you can stay and leave your things... I guess it’s free of charge ‘coz when we were there, no one is asking us to for additional payment so it better than renting a nipa hut that will cost you additional P500.00. There is also rooms for those who want to stay overnight and this one now is very affordable ‘coz it just cost P1,000.00 per night. You can check in at the afternoon and leave at noon.

So those are the shots of swimming pools and on the last photo is the rooms where you can stay overnight... Nice diba!? Anyway, here are the rest of my shots of butterflies and flowers around the area...

The Butterflies...

Garden inside the sanctuary... and shots of some flowers...

There you are... Natapos din! I guess this post was the longest post I've made... Since after lunch at the office, I started doing this and now ko lang sya natapos... Whhheeeewww... Ika nga sa kasabihan... Kung walang tiyaga, walang Kabsa!... este Nilaga...

Nanay's Garden

When I got home, I always check the small and simple garden of Nanay... Actually hindi pa naman sya garden na as in garden nga... Just want to call it garden para may dating diba!? Wala nang kokontra pwede!? Anyway, medyo na re-arrange ang mga orchids and it looks like na nabawasan yata yung orchids ni Nanay... Or maybe it just happened that most of orchids has no flower, kaya di ko napansin yung iba... Or maybe nasira na ng mga chikiting namin dahil sa kalikutan nila... But anyway, even though iilan nalang yung orchids na namumulaklak, I took some shots on those flowers and dinamay ko na yung ibang flowers even though it was not orchids...

I used my SIGMA 105mm F2.8 Macro lens in both mode, manual and auto-focus... Medyo mahirap kasi minsan i-focus pag naka automatic mode and mostly blurred ang nagiging results... Then one thing I forgot is to take note of the Exif, that is why hindi ko na rin matandaan kung alin sa mga shots ko ang naka automatic or manual... Anyhow, here are some of those shots I’ve made...

You will noticed that most of the flowers are same but taken in different perspective kaya medyo marami yung shots. I just want to show different point of view and honestly medyo nalibang din po ang inyong lingkod sa kakakuha kung kaya’t sa naparami ang mga shot’s sa iilang bulaklak...
