#1144 - Torri Gate Shots and Some Flowers for Monday.

Happy Monday fellow amazing Hive family across the globe! I hope your day is productive and that you find moments of joy along the way. Let’s make this Monday count and support one another with kindness. Wishing everyone a smooth start🙏.

Moving now to our daily shots one quiet afternoonsl where we decided to just go out and appreciate the little things. We spent some time just watching a garden, where there were wild purple flowers swaying gently. They weren't fancy but their vibrant color was nice with bees hopping from one petal to another.

Nearby were African bush daisy with bright yellow petals which was also a popular stop for the bees.

After moments with the flowers, my wife, my son Joaquin and I decided to go to the Lourdes Grotto in Baguio. We knew the climb could be a workout and at the top is the Torii gate stands with the afternoon air already turned cold. It is that distinct Baguio weather that makes you want to keep coming back in this city.

The bright red Torii gate looked majestic standing against the sky, fog, mountains and the greenery. It’s a unique structure to find there, adding a different cultural vibe. We took turns taking photos. My wife stepped under the gate first. Then it was Joaquin’s turn at the center, looking small but happy beneath the large red beam. I snapped a few pictures of each of them, making sure to capture the gate and the scenery behind.

Follow me on my nature travels.
