Learn outside the school to where Nature is the teacher,
the greatest teacher of all.

UST Arts and Letters Photography Review: Happy Faces, Pleasant Views

Floridablanca, Pampanga

Summer is vacation everyday,

and any time is spring;

autumn is just romantic

and winter - if any - is brief;

such is life the greatest art

for the young and happy heart.

Manaoag, Pangasinan

Mingle with the gods and angels under the sun

while childhood and innocence are one.

DZRB radio station, PIA Visayas Ave QC

Confidence and smile - they go on air, too;

invisible they are, yet have wings

that carry the spoken word

and melodious sound,

to the mind, heart and soul.

At home, Lagro QC
Capture in colors and hues,

light and shadow, object and views;

imagination, more than thought -

it is dream that you sought.

At home, San Vicente, Ilocos Sur

Real wealth in bounty and praise,

nature's gift of grace.

Mall of Asia, MM

Forever young - yes, you are,

as young as your heart and mind,

with things that make children

children and hold back the time.

A harvest of guyabano, at home Lagro QC

Remnant of bat or bird, fruits are sweeter;

such is man's fate by his lesser sense,

yet accepts it part of life and game

by competition and evolution.

Parks and Wildlife Center QC

Learn outside the school;

away from shop and mall,

to where Nature is the teacher

the greatest teacher of all.

Dr Anselmo S Cabigan, scientist and professor, with rare bamboo, Lipa Batangas

Teach in situ where Nature is,

where learning is at ease;

teach with wisdom of old,

and learners take what is told.

UST campus, Manila

Loitering is idleness in disguise;

it's keeping with one's pace, too;

for the mind hangs up sometimes,

like the computer, must reset anew.

Atop a guava tree, Floridablanca, Pampanga

Grownups deny childhood,

it comes spontaneously,

surreptitiously -

and innocently.

Anna, Mall of Asia MM

Oh, little brother, little sister,

tell me, who is who,

in the world of animae,

and that of grownups, too.

Anna with parakeets, Safari World, Bangkok Thailand

They come when they're hungry

by two or three;

they come when they like to play,

or seek company.

UST campus Manila

Photography the latest fad

subjects from real to toy;

in takes one into freedom

to find simple joy.

Coed, UST campus, Manila

It matters little if called Doña Aurora

or Doña Trining,

or mythical Medusa transformed;

she is the star shining. ~
