Adieu 2025, hello 2026!

Last sunset and first gloomy, foggy, smoggy(?) not-really sunrise in Subic Bay.

She stays and feeds in our backyard, but she's not ours. She usually has a spot outside our kitchen window, but there's no roof there, and everything is soaked. She woke up after I took this. Also, cat tax. #CatsOfMastodon

One last for the road. See you when I see you. 🏖️

How do you beat the heat? With more of it on the beach.

Glutton for punishment.

My yellow peacock plant is blooming again. This is one of the few that I transferred directly to soil, and the height difference compared to those in pots is significant.

And just yesterday, I got new seed pods from a fully orange variety which I'll sow first thing tomorrow.

This is the time I just discovered that my phone has focus peaking on manual focus mode. Totally surprised when I saw it. Non-customizable, but still.

This is the makahiya (Mimosa pudica) or shameplant.

Busy buzz worker! Great capture.

This is my favorite flower: the aganosma (long petal aganosma), Amphineurion marginatum. The first and last time I saw this flower was back in March 2017. I was playing Pokémon Go with my father back then when I saw this flower in front of a church (and the high school I attended). Sadly, it is no longer there because they renovated the church facade after it was promoted to the diocese.

Thank you to Google Photos for reminding me of this beauty. Also, I scoured around and failed miserably at finding where I could get my hands on one. It doesn't have any local name to narrow down the search.

Hopefully, the universe will guide me to where I can see one again. #florespondence #fleuristonfil #fleuritonfil #bloomscrolling
