praying for rain

    no, those are not raindrops on this gerbera, but water sprayed from a bottle! this is actually just a remake of an old shot. not much time to shoot lately.

    manila is experiencing major drought this year. it is supposed to be the rainy season and all we are having are few showers now and then. not enough for farm crops and definitely bad news for our dams. thus, we are now in fear of water being rationed in the nest few months if this keeps up. blame it on global warming! please help us pray for rain my dear friends...

    i plan to learn some rain dancing. you think it will help???

    got home late today, so will have to visit your streams tomorrow my dear friends. have a great weekend ahead and take care always!
