Eating You Up

I just wanted to share this  little (and slightly alarming)  discovery in the garden… At first glance, they look beautiful— tiny, bright red insects  clustered all over a single plant.  I think they might be  a kind of red milkweed beetle,  though I’m not entirely sure. What I am sure about  is how quickly they take over. They’re notorious for  devouring everything— flowers, leaves…  basically whatever they land on.  And the funny thing?  These aren’t even milkweed plants! One moment your garden  looks perfectly fine…  the next, it’s covered in red. I honestly have no idea  where they come from.  They just seem to appear  out of nowhere. Nature can be fascinating…  and a little destructive too. ~ ~ ~ Next Post:   Previous Post:  A Spontaneous Escape to Camiguin Island

A Spontaneous Escape to Camiguin Island

Just out of the blue,  we decided to drop by  at Camiguin Island  before I catch my flight  back to Cebu the next day.   So, from Iligan, we drove all the way  to Balingoan Port (in CDO)  where we got on a ferry  that took us to the island. It was a rush day trip  and I would not recommend it. A day tour is definitely  not enough to explore  what this small island has to offer. First Glimpse The view of the sea and the towering Mt. Guinsilban will welcome you as soon as you step on the island... I would have loved  to climb up on top of it if we had the time...  I'm sure  the view from up there  is amazingly beautiful... Waterfall Memory I grew u in a place  known as the City of Waterfalls,  so I was surprised when I saw this. The 250-foot Katibawasan Falls  was like water that gushed out  from a pipeline leak.   Nevertheless,  it still has its own unique beauty. ...

On Seeing a Yellow Flower

He picks up a yellow flower on a Sunday afternoon And placed it in her hands just like he used to do Time has changed the way their outside eyes see But the love they feel inside is all they'll ever need... ~ Spark - Next Post:  Little Swimmers  Previous Post:  For You, I will                                                                                                                             ~
