Magandang buhay!
It's Monday and we finally had sunshine in the morning, yay! What a great start to the new week! It's very welcoming after days of colder temperatures and rain. So, we took advantage of it and drove out to the next town to my father-in-law's place (we often go to him, once or twice a week), and to run some errands as well.
And just when we were arriving, the rain poured, yikes! (LOL!)
Well, after the chit-chat over lemon grass tea (I don't really like it as it is harsh to my stomach, but the aroma was nice), I went out to the porch (of my sister-in-law's newly constructed house) to enjoy the pitter-patter of the raindrops when I noticed the reflection of the citrus tree on the accumulated rainwater on the large rubber blue basin.


They do not have running water, so they usually have drums and basins outside to collect rainwater for cleaning and flushing.
Anyway, more reflections appeared when I stooped a bit - the rim of a blue drum, the edge of the beam, and the citrus trees (the shorter ones looked as if they were shrubs).

I wanted to take various angles or shots and include more in the reflection, but my attempts turned out in vain, as my phone camera seemed to have been fed up; it couldn't take any better than these, lol!

Oh well, I'm still glad to have gotten a few "okay" ones. And let me end this with one more, from a recorded video. It took me a while to resize the clip so it could be uploaded here. I like the little ripples created by the raindrops. It's kinda therapeutic.

This is my contribution (participation) in Round 227 of the Show Me A Reflection initiative by Olgavita and friends. Thank you and have a fabulous new day. Until our next hunt 😉
