Some view of this balite (banyan) tree, beheld my sight.
It was sunny and way bit too humid in Davao. The beach is only a 15-minute drive from the house and a dip and a sniff of sea breeze could be blissful.
So we went...
So we went...

Lying down on the bench, my only goal was to relax my mind.
But just before I close my eyes, the sight of the leaves and the branches of this tree caught my attention.

I have not acknowledged the beauty of a tree from this vantage point. And for such a long time, I thought I should.
I was looking at the photos as if I were Vermeer. He was a superb artist, actually the best of the renaissance period.
