Dangerous beauties

Brother Junic, who's out there in Calgary, Canada, poking around the neighborhood with his camera 'round his neck, sent us, his siblings, this image earlier today.

It reminded me of the time I took a different path during a morning walk in Baguio with Curly Kai and I ended up rushing home with a necklace of rashes.

Junic wrote about these harmless-looking flora:

"They look beautiful but good thing I didn't proceed to hike in this area. There was so much hogweed. If I had gone near, I would have ended up with rashes."

Send more hogweed, bro, but only images of these dangerous beauties, not the real deal. Scratch that itch!

My look up gal

The reason The Wee One is looking up in some stolen shots I've taken of her is I must have pointed out either the shape/size of clouds or the startling blueness of a Baguio sky. This is after we've taken a breather from our morning walks.

She walks alongside or ahead of me, never behind me. She used to put on her own pair of play sunglasses and funny hat to imitate my walking outfit. Nowadays she just announces to all after breakfast that we're off to get sunshine and our dose of Vitamin D. And she sounds very authoritative when she says that.

Until our next January walk, Kai. I remain truly yours, Boobook Skywalker.
