Magandang buhay!
A pretty busy Thursday in DD. Harvesting day for Mr. B & K, so we borrowed my brother's workmen (17 of them) for added hands. Thank goodness I didn't have to do things (cooking was taken care of by Mr. B), so Yongi and I had a super couch day.
My back is still hurting from the bad fall yesterday afternoon, while trying to reach some stuff from the top shelf in the storage. My own fault for using the chair instead of the ladder. Nothing serious, though. No broken bones or such, so I'll live through it. Just have to nurse it a bit (another reason to be lazy, lol!)
Anyway, let me share some really cool street art seen and photographed along the national highway along Sta. Fe, Nueva Viscaya (Cagayan Valley, Philippines) last month. These were taken in haste, as we could not slow down or stop. Thankfully, a feature on the phone camera lets me take moving photos (dynamic shots), which makes replaying possible, and I could select a better cover shot.
I couldn't check who the artist was or what theme the artwork is about, but I loved them. While the predominant color is blue, each piece is unique and features a cultural motif of living things (animals, people, plants, nature). Perhaps this was also part of the roadside beautification initiative, (started during the pandemic) which extends to various regions of the country.
Different species of feathered friends, even bugs, and such. Some of the colors are already fading, so the work must have been done four or five years ago. Thankfully, the details are still there.
There were plenty painted on that stretchy roadside wall, but with a speeding vehicle, I couldn't capture them all.
Deep inside, I felt a bit regretful while taking these last shots😊 But I'm still thankful to have seen them, even for a very short while. I am now wondering if they will ever do a retouch someday (I hope they will, and we would enjoy them again).
