This is Tara's second season playing soccer. I enrolled her to GLSA recreational league. She seemed to improve a lot with her moves and being aggressive towards the ball. Below was one of her big kicks however she did not score a goal. Taken from last week game

scuba diving

I thought I 'd like to share one of my hobbies--scuba diving. I am a PADI open water and advanced diver.

This was taken at my fun dive at Mexico last summer

it was a different experience being underwater and explore the beauty of our nature

This was taken during

annual Pumpkin dive last October. With me is Kelly, my dive buddy

With Bill, another dive buddy. This was taken at Pearl Lake.

My excitement is building up everyday because I will be going to the Philippines last week of this month and I have planned to dive in BORACAY and BATANGAS.

Its gonna be fun... Don't worry, I will post pictures and I will not disappoint you... Till then..

Macro photography always fascinates me, you can turn a small creation into bigger perspective

bird's nest

I am sorrounded by mature trees and lush greenery. This time of the year different types of birds can be seen flying around my backyard. It is very relaxing to hear these birds singing. Just outside my breakfast area, this bird ( not sure the name, robin??) which I have been watching keeps circling around in just one are just above my temperature gauge. Few day ago I have made a discovery that she is building a nest and today guess what... i have found this...

a colorful egg...

and this is the mama bird...

so I will keep an eye on this and I will surely keep you guys posted'

my first portrait shots

This is Bagle..our beloved dog. He's about 3 years old Lhasa Apso breed. We adopted him from Orphans of the Storm Animal shelter. He knows how to pose, doesn't he?

This is Alex, my youngest. She's gonna be 4 years old in few weeks

It was a beautiful day today. I thought of doing some yard work . Tara and Alex helped me take care of those unsightly and annoying weeds specially the dandelions. Alex thought those are beautiful magnificent yellow flowers and she kept collecting them.
