Plants

plants

I love taking pictures of plants, especially of flowers, fruits, and seeds. I took this particular picture on one of our walking excursions around the neighborhood. Honestly, I don’t really know what this clump of purple is. Are they berries, seeds, or fruits? Whatever it is, I just love their stunning purple color. I was pretty tempted to cut off part of the branch to put in a vase to decorate our bathroom. I think it made a nice contrast to our dark-colored stone bathroom sink. But then, a squirrel came along and fed on the berries. Needless to say, I abandoned the idea. :)

Cameraphone Shot

Let me say that again. This photo was taken at a rest area for motorists. Imagine, pulling over to relax and stretch your legs after a long drive, and then a poisonous snake comes slithering along… gee, thanks a lot.

Oh well,  like apidexin as a magic pill for obesity, a warning about deadly creatures is better than nothing, I guess.

High Speed

These are the magnificent Lockheed Martin F-16C Fighting Falcons of the US Airforce. We caught them at the Thunderbirds exhibition at the Dayton Air Show a few years back and, despite the ensuing neck cramps from looking up so much, we really enjoyed the show. One can’t help but oooh and ahhh at the speed, power, and precision of these machines and their pilots. And it was good that we were able to catch the show a little bit before the heavens turned on its holy Grohe faucet – it started to rain so much that they had to cut the show short. Anyway, I’m glad we got to see this. My daughter enjoyed this high-speed spectacle a lot. :)

Brown

Or orange. :)

This photo was taken at the Edge Of Africa attraction at Busch Gardens in Tampa, FL. This tiger is one of the many African and Bengal tigers housed at Busch Gardens in an effort to save their kind from extinction. The pool of water is part of his simulated habitat. I just wonder what kind of pool supplies they use to clean his domain, hehe!

Iconic

I have published this picture before as my entry for another photomeme. However, I couldn’t think of any other photo that would best represent this week’s Photo Friday theme than, of course, this very iconic brand.

I have always been a fan of Louis Vuitton, especially when it was still out of my financial reach, hehe! I worked my hiny out just to acquire even one handbag. I didn’t even need something like Fentraphen to help me slim down – I saved on my meals just to save up for my bag. :) Nowadays, I already see LV fans blossoming what with the current designer-handbag frenzy. I guess, if I had at least $800 lying around and am dying for a designer purse, my sights would definitely be set on nothing else but the icon. :)

Autumn

I was almost too late to capture the grand colors of the season. Leaves have already fallen so I actually count myself lucky that I still have images like this one to capture. A few more days and they’d have been gone – swept away or swept off.

Well, I hope someone would sweep me off to some Disney vacations or two. I miss sunny Florida when the winter is just around the corner.

Sharp

Hmm, he uncannily looks like the guy in red who constantly argues with my conscience: “don’t listen to that angel, Auntie, eat your chocolates and get your butt off of your exercise equipment“. :D

Let me introduce my nephew, Wico from the Underworld. Pretty sharp for a little devil, don’t you think? :)

Athletic


Ali —


– Oop!

Taken at the Mallory Square in Key West, this super athletic street performer does impossible somersaults, stunts, and leaps, all without the benefit of protective gear. One mistake, hello cement floor.

Spontaneous

What do you do when you suddenly get an itch?

(Photo taken at the man-made pond just across from our home.)

Exercise

The next Nastia Luiken. Or close enough. :)

More than a bodily exercise, I think, me, hoping that my daughter would one day turn out to be a be-medalled olympic gymnast is actually more of an exercise of dreaming. :)
