Photographer’s Note

No Te Vayas de Zamboanga
(don't you go to far Zamboanga)

no te vayas, no te vayas de zamboanga
que mi puedes, que mi puedes olvidar
no te vayas, no te vayas ni me dejes
que yo sin ti, no puedo estar.

no llores paloma mia
no llores que volvere
no llores que en cuando llegue
paloma mia, te escribire.

con un pluma de ave
y un pedazo de papel
con la sangre de mis venas
paloma mia, te escribire.

Gracias!!! :)

this pathway is an invitation. No need to ask. What a nice and tranquil place, huh? Flowers, fresh air, sounds of the birds...who wants more than that? Great shot, an inspiration. Well done!
Abraço,
Carlos

Thanks for the invitation, Benedict ;-) I also love rural places and I sure envy you for this place of yours on the other side of "my world". I like the white lines that organize the composition and it's a pleasure to almost feel the smells of this garden. If I ever come to Philipines (and that is in my plans for the next years) I will knock on your door ;-)
all the best,
ric

Hello Ben,

Green textures are amazingly rich as a wonderful result of tropical weather there. Good depth with stone paved entrance while white barriers are eye catching. Congratulations. Have a nice new week.

Friendly Regards,

Ertugrul

Hey Ben,

With all the modern chic and 'typical spa resort' concepts being marketed to the consumers, perhaps the next 'IN' thing is the 'rural' lifestyle. It will healthy to go back to the simple lifestyle, using indigenous materials like in food, people go the organic way. The "wellness' lifestyle only in Zamboanga!

Cheers!

Hello Benedict,
The early morning fog certainly provides wonderful ambience to this peaceful pastoral scene. I can certainly retire here. Your Canon Powersot A550 worked well here - that is after you have carefully metered and composed the scene. TE has been so slow the last few months, and so I have spending more time at TL. I do remember this song as I was growing up.

I have now been declared 'healthy' and I am no longer taking TB Rx. It feels wonderful and I can start planning a trip. A dear cousin is getting married by Feb. 09 in the Phil and I might go.

Best regards, Danilo

P.S. Wonder what happened to Renier?

Hi Benedict,
What a lovely place. The orchids made me think that this was your mother's house but I see it your sisters. Interesting to know that your unfinished project is nearby. great to have a finish date too.

hi Benedict

This can be considered as comfort living for rural standard and nicely decorated garden with plants and flowers. Much more comfort than living in a city. tfs
