National Museum of the Philippines #2 - I liked the lighting and window reflections througout the exhibits. The first photo shows one of the many artifacts from the last several centuries. These were found in a sunken Spanish galleon? I got sidetracked by my own reflections at one point.

mountain countryside photos #2 - before I watched clouds move through the valleys, I wandered through the gardens of AO Park and took some photos of the many plants...

We visited the new National Museum of the Philippines here in Cebu yesterday. There are collections of Filipino fine arts, anthropology, and archaeology. They also had displays of the Philippines botany, zoology, and geology roots. The museum's lighting and display layouts caught my interest right away, especially the mostly natural window lighting in many of the rooms. My favorites were some hanging painted screens in one of the large rooms.

I spent some time just watching the shadows of clouds move through the valleys...

We got up into the "countryside" yesterday...cooler temperatures and lush greens

I'm cold... and I do not want my picture taken!

a walk through the neighborhood yesterday, with two churches, a motorcycle, one house, plenty of wires, and my shadow...

in my FB Memories folder this morning: frozen ice images from January walks over the years...the overnight forecast for Seattle was 30 F. That's 1.111 C

One of my favorite things to do in Cebu is to visit my sister-in law's house and take photos of her many plants...

I walked along the beach when we visited Talisay recently. I remember walking here in April of 2022. There was a beautiful sunset that day. I also saw these moving dark areas where I thought the breeze was causing water ripples. As I got closer, I realized it was hundreds of tiny little crabs moving away from me as I walked along. They were trying to get away from me. Instead of hundreds of tiny crabs this time, there were hundreds of little holes. The tide was out. Maybe they were taking a break.

back in Bothell WA, some of my walks along the river were foggy walks...
