Hi everyone! Sorry I have not been here for a while. I think more than 2 weeks now. I am always busy when I am here in my home country. I feel, I am living. There are a lot of things to do, a lot of fun laughter with my nieces and cousin besides a lot of things to do with my mini forest.
I call it my mini forest as the plants are higher than the normal garden of my neighbours. My mini forest has a lot of birds coming every morning, searching some food to eat. Butterflies are many as well but I until now, I was not able to take a good photos of them. They hop from flowers to flowers.
Yesterday, we book for another travel to another island. It would be a real vacation far from my garden next month. It would be a time for just relaxing and sightseeing tour to some islands in Visayas. I am already looking forward to it. My cousin will accompany me and it will be her first time flying with an airplane.
Anyway, how are you all keeping here? I will be catching up here at Mylot. I hope you are all in good health. See you later in your discussion. Ciao!

This almost resembles what one sees in my garden. I had to check if it was my photo Everyone should have mini forests as there is depletion when it comes to greenery everywhere.

Like your mini forest, the plants around our house also attracts many as 5 species of birds It's a joy seeing thses birds especially those that carry pieces of grass to build their nest on the branches of the plants. Sometimes the birds would enjoying having a dip in the pools of water after a downpour.

Same here @sunrisefan. They are just beautiful to watch, aren't they? I love watching them and sometimes they made a nest in one of our plants.

I have not been here for many months and I'm here again interacting to everyone.
That is a mini paradise you got there, it feels so relaxing when you sit in those shades watching butterflies flying on those flowers and leaves.

@ilocosboy yes, indeed. People who have seen me stalking the birds and butterflies might have thought I am crazy.

Welcome back to you too @ilocosboy. Yes, indeed. Sometimes, I am stalking the birds and the butterflies just to have some photos or videos of them. Sometimes I am lucky.

No, they are pomelo @ridingbet. Our pomelo fruit is getting smaller this year. I don't know why but they still taste the same. The guavas are on the left side of the photo. You can see one cellophane hanging on it. I secure the guava fruits from the birds. Save for myself
