Two days right after the New Year 2010, I got a chance to visit my late grandma’s place to rest. I did not have a chance to say goodbye to her when she passed away last year, 2008. So on that day was her 1st death anniversary and I did what I had to do.. :)

Moving on, the day was bright and hot! I got sunburns on my bare arms, cheeks and the back of my neck. I got couple shots of little creatures around includes, grasshopper, blue dragonfly, red dragonfly and many butterflies. It was beautiful and I did never know that cemetery comes with all these beautiful natures.

Below are just some of the images that I took, please enjoy them:

Couple places that visit to include the Kuta Beach (Pantai Segara) as well as Pecatu which the Balinese called it “Dreamland”. Pecatu was amazing :) clean water + 3 feet waves…nice! The only thing that is suck is how to get there. Apparently, Pecatu is still under construction and the tourists are allowed to go to the beach. Since I had to carry my camera + stroller + my baby, it was not a fun thing. I was frustrated + angry … but then when I reached the place…all I did was WOW look at that white sand and the clear water!! Those anger + frustration gone with the waves :D I am glad that this trip happened.

Below is some of the captures :) Please visit the place and I hope by the time you are there, the construction is done!

Took quite a number of pictures and saw this twin trunk tree. :)

I always wanted to try to take a photo of a “smooth” running water fall. I guess fountain will work as well. hehehe. It was a 3 seconds and high aperture shot.

One of them is the Richmond Beach, since it’s nearby my home, I decided to head there.

Seaweed Eel is the most popular thing with this beach. I saw them along the coast of the beach and underneath them hidden many sea lives and “treasures”.

Check out some of the photos below. :)

Ah lucky me got a chance to take some photos. They are ok but not that great. I have shutter speeds between 10 to 15 as well as Av between 8.0 and 10.0. It was fun and chilly since I was taking these photos just outside my balcony.

Today, I went to Steven’s Pass to snowboard as well as experimenting with my new circular polarizer, B+W. Wow, the results are beautiful and I am loving it. The theme of the color was white and blue :)

Circular Polarizer did help a lot in brighten up the skies and it didn’t lose to the bright snow white land. I think the CP actually decreases the white color a little.
