home land, home sky

It was nice to be back in the Philippines! From the moment the fields and flats of Negros Island emerged from the storm clouds...

to the moment I murmured a teary goodbye to the lights of Manila...

eyes on the BIG picture

November comes with bright new astronomical events and it is going to be quite the month for those who like wonder | wander | women love to watch the night sky.

Whether equipped with a telescope or the latest sky app, spend some of time catching these mesmerizing cosmic events. Hearts and minds trained toward the bigger picture rather than the US elections circus.

blooms & colors

It is good to be back in time to catch some cool summer breeze.

Especially after two scorching months in the tropics.

It feels good to get back to regular walks around the neighborhood.
