Mannequins

When I was a kid I have an uncommon fear, that of mannequins, cemetery and church sculptures. I had this image in my head that they would move any given time. And there are lots of those creepy looking sculptures  back in the Philippines.

This fear would go on as I grew up.....thank goodness I left and where I am now, creepy sculptures are not to be found, they are wonderful works of art, though inspired from something creepy. Today, the fear isn't there and I laugh at myself when I remember how coward I was. lol. Nowadays, they have become beautiful photo subjects.

No Supermoon, just your ordinary full moon

April 17, 2011, photo by hubby that I borrowed

Do you know the month of Nisan?  It is the first month of the ecclesiastical year and the seventh month (eighth, in leap year) of the civil year, on the Hebrew calendar. It falls sometime in March–April on the Gregorian calendar.

I always await the 14th day of Nisan, I watch for the full moon and take a good shot of it...this year though, I forgot to charge my batteries so it was hubby who took this photo at home. :) I make sure I have a photo of the moon on Nisan 14, it is the day that Jesus died for our sins.

Penguin pool

I like being a big fish in a small pond. I'm not interested in a huge audience because it brings headaches.

Cherry blossoms

Last week, the weather was really nice going up until 17°. The perfect time for flowers to show themselves. The cherry trees, the plum trees, the pear trees, the peach trees, they were all blooming now. A lot of wind and rain there may be but I'm glad that I was somehow able to take some of spring's finest this year.

No need to explain why these are my favorite flowers.

This is the road we take everyday when going to  school. We wait every year for spring to take photos of the cherry blossoms. This year is a bit sad for us but the flowers keep our hopes up. Have a lovely weekend.

Birdhouse

The window is one of the few from the Birdhouse at the Schönbrunn Palace's Zoo. My son went on a field trip with their class and I tagged along. 

How many birds can you count there? :)
