Panagbenga: Landscape design contest

Our finding the landscape contest last Saturday afternoon was an accident. My wife, Jo-Lo, and I went to Burnham Park to leisurely spend the afternoon. Tina's older brother Joey was there was well; they were selling ice cream near the skating rink and it was good business.

Jo-Lo was running around and we were trying to keep up, when we noticed that there were people strolling about the rink. With a minimal 10 peso fee, we got in and found really nice landscape designs!



There were also stands selling a wide assortment of plants, from orchids to cacti, to variegated, decorative foliage, and colorful flowers. It was wonderful. We lingered there for quite some time before heading out to the lake and Jo-Lo continued running after the other kids and getting their toys.

    Ice cream in Baguio?

    Ang gaganda nga ng view, iba talaga yung maraming halaman sa paligid mo.

  4. picture number five reminds me of my "bahay kubo" in the Philippines where I had this small garden where I usually do my "retreat" when stress leaves me sleepless (not in seattle). I talked to the plants. They were my shrinks. hehehe Iba naluluoy dahil sa sobrang problemang naririnig nila.

    Dito, when winter comes, no garden, no green surroundings, no one to talk to except those pay-per-hour shrinks who are as troubled as the patients.

    No I don't talk to the shrink here, I talk to my mouse, remember. Mura pa.
