First photo
White River Bubbles
Every year for five years now, we do river inspections as part of the maintenance services we offer to our local water district here in our city. We do river inspections/cleanups every summer season. For it is during summers that the water level in the water treatment plants are low so we need to check on the water river source. We do this on six rivers sometimes on eight depending on the request of our client both in Olongapo city and Subic Bay. we clear out the pathways of the water by clearing debris that is hampering the waters' flow like removal of trees blocking the water, removal of dried leaves, tree trunks, big rocks and other debris. This photo below was taken just this April when we have hiked for more than 5 kilometers upstream. We came to this small waterfall or a deep part of the river so when the water rushes down bubbles form, lots of bubbles as you can see they glitter from the sun. It was really such a great experience to be out with nature in the river while doing our clean up and it was just us, the river and the forest. This was inside Subic Bay and there are no people living In this forest part of Subic Bay so the rivers are very clean and the water very clear.

Second photo
Coconut meat from our very own coconut trees🌴🌴🥥
We harvested some coconuts while doing some clearing at our property. Hubby asked one of our boys to climb the coconut tree so we can have some snacks and some fresh coconut juice.

Third photo
The white smoke from the gathered dried leaves and freshly cut leaves while clearing out our mango orchard. We usually do an annual clearing on three of our properties. Both of which are mostly mango, cashews, avocados and banana orchard.
They are quite spacious so it usually takes us two weeks to clear up all three different areas, grass cutting, raking and clearing with five of our boys, myself and hubby.

Fourth photo
Flashing white teeth
The two boys of my life, hubby and my son showing off their beautiful white teeth... Haha
I envy them for they have beautiful, like no spaces in between their teeth unlike mine, a cow can just happily go in and out because of the spaces... Haha
They have white teeth as well.
What I love the most are their beautiful, happy smiles.
My two precious, my life, my everything!😍🥰♥️

Fifth photo
My Angelo and his white Barong tagalog during a wedding

This photo was taken when my son was only five years old as the escort on one of the flower girls. This was fifteen years ago. He was wearing a white barong Tagalog which is an embroidered long-sleeved formal shirt for men and a national dress of the Philippines. It is usually made from jusi material or from banana silk and or pinya silk that comes from pineapple leaves or from the abaca fibers. They are sheer lightweight but stiff fabrics so one needs to wear an undershirt beneath the barong.
I love doing match making, the bride and the groom of this wedding are the product of my match making.
They are both my friends. They are both nearly in their Forty's so they need to settle down already. The bride works as a nurse in the UK while the groom works In the finance department same as I. I set them both up, luckily they are now happily married with one child, a son living in the UK.

Sixth photo
White Piti Mini roses
These are the beautiful tiny piti mini roses from my friend's garden.
They are all so adorable. Blooming all year round. These are just easy to maintain unlike the big roses that are hard to take care.

Another white flower from my friend's garden are her white periwinkles. She has many different colors of periwinkles all around her garden. She has a wide and spacious yard with manicured lawn. One will really feel happy when you visit her home.

This next beautiful white flower is a cactus flower. I took this photo yesterday when we were installed the newly fabricated swing done by my hubby. The swing of our client snapped because the pipes that they used where not thick, you know those commercially made products that looks beautiful but not durable. They asked my husband had have him fix the base. This succulent was on their garden table. At first I thought it wasn't real so I had to investigate and found out that the flowers were real. I thought it was just an ornament placed on the plant... Haha. The owner was laughing because she said a lot of people have been fooled already thinking that it was fake because it's hard to make succulents bloom.

So these are my white photos for this week.

Thank you and I hope you enjoyed reading the essay pertaining to the stories of each photo presented.

As always, let's create ripples of love.
