le fluer

Being out more often lately allows me to enjoy the pretty flowers around me. I’ve been snapping pictures to capture their beauty. They always seem to tell me, “look at me! look at me!” Surrounding yourself with beautiful things especially nature can give you that relaxed feeling, something you need when you’re stressed or when you’re in a Lipofuze diet. It always lift my spirits up when I’m out (as long as it’s not too hot!!!)

Here are some of the beauties that made it to my album last weekend:

I wish I knew what their names are.

weekend trip

DGH — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 11:43:38 +0000

Spring is in the air! It’s time to take out your outdoor furniture and relax in the sun, go for some walk around the neighborhood, grill some barbecue, or play with the kids. Well, you can add more outdoor activities to the list.

Last weekend, we toured our friend at Pruhonice Park for some sightseeing. Of course, we brought with us the kids and had a really grand time.

Here are some photos taken during our weekend trip:

Simply relaxing… isn’t it?

doing our part in caring for Mother Earth

While we can’t all be working for community organizations involved with environmental concerns, we can do our part at home even with the simple things such as conserving electricity or using environment-friendly products. Yes, caring for the environment is part of one’s responsibility as a citizen of Mother Earth.

Families can also do their share of helping the environment by proper waste segregation, recycling and maintaining a clean surrounding. They can also employ modern methods of waste-handling such as using compost tumbler in their backyards. It’s also good to plant more trees and blooms, they not only provide us shade and a refreshing view but also help the environment as they give out oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide which is one of the major elements that contribute to the greenhouse effect.

what would you do in a park?

What a nice place for relaxing! It’s a perfect spot for a picnic with the family especially when the sun is out. Just spread a cloth, take out the food from the picnic basket and sit or lie down while watching the kids play and run around. A good book for reading is also a good companion if you’re alone. Or I can bring my notebook and work with my assignments under a shady tree. How about catching up with other stuff like choosing cheap health insurance or studying my Czech lessons? Weeee! There are so many things I can do in the park aside from just relaxing. How about you? What would you do in the park?

the colors are changing

At Stromovka Park, Praha.

It’s summer still, but when we were in Stromovka Park yesterday, it was evident that the season is about to end. You can see the colors of the trees are slowly transforming to golden hues. Sigh… I will surely miss Prague summer when it’s gone.

the beauty fuschia flowers

Seeing a beauty such as the fuschia flower above makes me ask myself “do I still want to look up on life insurance quotes online? ” Nature’s beauty has a way to make one forget about life’s realities. The picture was taken by my sister when we had a relaxing weekend spent in a mountain resort. Even if our accommodation was modest, we still enjoyed our short stay there, surrounded with nature. The climate was cool; breathing the fresh and clean air of the mountain was really refreshing. I’d love to get back there in the future. I hope by then the management would have improved the park and repair their lodging rooms.

Brugmansia are either large shrubs or small trees bearing flowers that have a bell shape. They are also known as Angel’s Trumpets.

the Yosemite National Park

DGH — Sun, 12 Apr 2009 21:43:57 +0000

I’ve got the chance to see the majestic and breathtaking views of Yosemite National Park through my friend’s pictures. If you’re a nature lover, you should see this place. Too bad I’m far from US but if given a chance, it would be truly a dream come true to be there and see for myself it’s glorious beauty. No wonder campers love to visit there. According to one post in the forum I read in rv, Spring and Fall are the best times to go there coz in Spring, there are the waterfalls, and in Fall, the colors of foliage are awesome.

Here’s a beautiful picture of Yosemite National Park I took from tripadvisor.com:

Totally amazing, isn’t it?

One day while taking my little girl out for a walk in our neighborhood on such a fine and sunny Spring day.

Soon these trees will be all filled with green leaves again…

The firebugs mating…

New life…
