    Hello my aseanhive friends🤗
    Upon reading the photography theme for this week given to us by our kind and good admin @justinparke, I tried looking for photos in my gallery that has the color green in them.
    Luckily I have quiet a few photos that fits the criteria. Green is basically everywhere from plants to trees, to grass, to things, to toys, to clothes, cars, buildings, etc. everywhere you look you will find this color.
    Now let me tell you the stories of my green colored subjects.
    The first one on top is the corn fields. We went to Zambales and paid a visit to one of our staff. They live in the countryside, his father-in-law is a farmer and these rows of corn were his crops. We came to their place because I was invited to be one of the God Mother of their first born daughter of course I happily accepted the invite.

    These next photos were taken last year when my sister-in-law came home for a visit. These bananas came from our own trees. We brought my sister-in-law to one of our properties and showed her the place. We had these bananas planted, we asked our care taker before to plant 100 banana seedlings. He did plant them but the problem was when the government gave them cows they let their cows roam around the property so they ate the banana plants. Since then we do not ask for his services anymore so this property is open for anyone who wants to harvest our bananas, avocadoes, mangoes to their heart's content for we don't frequently come here. Gladly when we visited we were able to bring home this fruit just before our very good neighbors will harvest them.😀😀
    My hubby did not bring any bolo for we don't know if we have some fruits to harvest so he harvested the fruits by using our car keys. Slicing the branch out from the banana tree, McGyver style.😍😍

    Having fun has no age limit. These next photos were taken at our favorite resort, the Paper tree resort.

    We love coming here because of its fresh ambiance. Fresh because the water here comes from spring water. We prefer swimming on the fresh water rather than the beach. Look at its torquiose green water so inviting right? That's why hubby can't help himself not to try the swing. Well, it wasn't just him, I too want to be a kid again, so I tried it too! Hahaha, so much fun!

    The Green Pond

    Don't be fooled by this green pond for this is filled with hungry Crocs. The color of their pond is already green due to the algae formation in the water. Crocs love it when the water in their pond is kinda green and murky so their victims will not be able to see them in the water. You might be wandering why the photos have black linings, well because these came from my video. I took this when hubby and I brought our church missionaries during their preparation day at Zoobic Safari and the Croco-Loco is one of their attractions.

    It's called Croco-Loco because you will make loco or entice, play, make fun with these giant beasts by hanging a fresh chicken leg tied to a pole for them to eat it. You have to be fast so your chicken will not be eaten right away or else you have to pay for another chicken leg which costs around one dollar or fifty pesos. My husband is So good at making loco-loco to the Crocs that for an hour his chicken hasn't been eaten unlike our young missionaries specially the girls they paid three dollars each for their chicken were eaten right away.😀😀

    Snapped this huge praying mantis when hubby and I visited our client for her roof repair and painting job. While we were talking, this huge mantis just showed up on the leaf of the plant which was just beside me. I wonder what these gentle insects pray for? Do you have an idea???😀😀

    We are now in Baguio city up the highlands to observe the Holy Week with our son. We arrived here Thursday early morning. Baguio is fondly called the city of pines because there are so many pines growing here. Caught sight of the beautiful moss plants on the trunk of the pine tree so I hurriedly snapped some photos. I took a macro shot on the green moss and it turned out very pretty. I find them so intriguing because they are so tiny in their own little world if you're lucky you might probably see Thumbelina in there too.😁😍

    Lastly, these beautiful green succulents I snapped earlier today when we visited the Northern Blossoms flower farm. The place is high above the mountains in Benguet. We have to travel two hours from Baguio City just to reach this place and the long travel was so worth it for the place was like heaven on earth for me. I will make a post about it so stay tuned for that.

    So, here are my array of Green's! my entry for this week's challenge themed #goingreen.

    Hope you had fun reading.
