Cherry Tomatoes

"Kiss of the sun for pardon.
Song of the birds for mirth.
You're closer to God's heart in a garden
Than any place else on earth."

Dorothy Frances Gurney


I wandered through a garden and came upon a vine of red cherry tomatoes! The berries hang  fresh and succulent.



 Tomatoes are good for the heart. The red pigment called lycopene is a powerful antioxidant. They are enriched with vitamins A and C, and the antioxidant, anthocyanin.


Tomato is the ovary part of the plant, hence it is a fruit. It is acidic and not that sweet.
Hearty organic temptation!


Kiss and bite;)

Here, a mighty river, savagely rough and deep, courses through steep mountain gorges down to the valleys and plains, straight to the Philippine Sea. This river, so blue in the mid-morning sun, is the life force for a tribe in Apayao called ISNEG.

A labyrinth of valleys and foothills, embraced by tropical forests and Savanna grass, led them to their paradise. To reach this haven, they navigated for hours on personalized bamboo rafts or small boats, then traversed long trails to their homes. The people cherished their l...

MEDITATIVE ESCAPADE IN PURPLE AT WRIGHT PARK BAGUIO

"She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.” ~Bible quotes The magical power of purple had transcended aesthetics, weaving a thread of connection to something greater – a harmony that reached beyond the visible spectrum of colors.  A MOMENT WITH THE LONELY HORSES OF WRIGHT PARK I have this love for horses that one day, I went to visit them in Wright Park.  "I have often been asked why do I like horses so much. Look into one's eyes. There you will see generations of horses who have served the humans for thousands of years faithfully for nothing in return. Beaten horses, starved hoses, horses who no longer possess a spirit. They deserve to be loved and respected as much as humanly possible. Let them run free again. Let them no longer be a faithful beasts, but embrace them as you would a dear friend, for that is what they are."   I tried communicating to each horse, and only one made contact. This...
