natural beauty






The title really is self explanatory and for sure and for certain this is a beautiful country, at times the scenery is breathtaking. I said to Ann some time ago that i will never grow complacent or tired of admiring the tropical palms but they are so numerous here and for certain local people Ann included take their beauty for granted. For me they are exotic and, well beautiful.

Blossom and bloom is everywhere and the beautiful bouganvillia (sp? too lazy to research it) is again almost too common to be appreciated. Orchids and other blooms are more sought after but personally i have never been an orchid person.

Beaches and seascapes, well with over 7000 islands there are no shortages of these in the Philippines.

Mountains and wilderness, again there are large tracts of mountainous regions here, i have only just sampled the beauty, must get out there more.

Photo shown are.....
