I Just Can't Get Enough

The new Meme That's My World is on it's second week and since I still can't get enough of this place, I will share to you once again some landscape shots of my country's premier beach - BORACAY!

Boracay Sand Castle


I thought I have seen it all, until a rainbow decided to visit.


Plant Bowl on a scenic Back Drop


A Coconut Tree - Climb and Pose Anyone?


Time for some Siesta


Piles of Sea-swept Logs


Who says Rubbers stay in the bedroom?


For my frequent visitors, Boracay need no further introductions but for first-timers in my blog thru this new Meme, Boracay is truly a tropical paradise and considered by many as the Philippines' premier beach. It is an enchanting island nestled on a blue-green azure sea and packed with pleasures for everyone. It's main attraction is its long kilometers of dazzling white sand fringed by gently swaying palms and tropical fruit trees. The place, the people, and the views will definitely make a trip to this island an unforgettable one.

This is my world. To see other participants in this meme, just click here.

Once again I'm mesmerized by that beautiful sandy beach and water of Boracay. That hammock looks inviting but I think I'd be walking up and down that beach with my camera. Please tell, did you make that sand castle? It's awesome!

eye in the sky said...

i have visited boracay more than a dozen times and to be honest, i didn't think there were places there that i haven't seen, but your series of posts on the island has proven that wrong.

you have done a great service to this island paradise by photographing the place so exquisitely.

Spectacular, no one can get enough of this vista. BTW, that rainbow was the cherry on top of your chocolate sundae.

Thanks.

Layla said...

boracay is such a nice place. :) love the picture with the rainbow

juleste said...

awesome! the rainbow shot got my vote as the best in this set of your boracay pics.

i remember kermit the frog singing one of my all time favorite songs, the rainbow connection.

Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,/ And rainbows have nothing to hide / So we've been told and some choose to believe it / I know they're wrong, wait and see. / Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection, / The lovers, the dreamers and me.

Jedediah said...

Beautiful photos, the first one is my favourite. I'm really looking forward to see more of your world. Btw, the title of the post put this song in my head and I can't get rid of it now...

Lily Hydrangea said...

wow! so you must feel like you are always on vacation, sort of!
Beautiful shots!

mirage2g said...

What a beautiful place! How can you study when the beach is there? The sea, the sand castle, the rainbow - all are great photos! I have been visiting several other photo bloggers in the Philippines. You do live in a beautiful place. Thanks for visiting My World.

Island Rambles Blog said...

WOW that beach shot is amazing to see!!! I love all the different things bloggers are putting in for this new meme!!! Forget about the law career and stick with photography .....cheers.

REDLAN said...

I agree sa lahat. Bora is indeed a paradise. Nakakapagod maglakad sa powdered white sand pero it's worth. Until now, I really wonder how you captured a perfect picture. Lahat perfect timing at perfect ang dating. Isa lang ang hindi ko nagustuhan sa group of pics na to. yung may duyan. lol. It reminds me of a bad memory the last time I visited bora.

Outhouse Capital of Canada said...

Nice beach, must be nice to have summer all year.

Sidney said...

Gorgeous...makes me want to take the plane... and go there immediately !

MaryAnn Ashley said...

It looks like paradise! Great sand castle!

Pietro said...

What a splendid views, Lawstude! This beach is fantastic. I like very much the Boracay Sand Castle and the attractive rainbow!

Michele Wassell said...

Beautiful photos!! ENjoyed your blog.. :)

Stanley said...

The sand sculpture is AWESOME! U made it? I'm assuming because it has your name on it.

SandyCarlson said...

Very beautiful, your country. Thanks for the holiday for my imagination.

Rintjez said...

The caption of your last picture is totally hilarious!

Likewise, love all your shots!!!

Sandradb said...

Gorgeous photographs - thank you so much for sharing them and thank you for your visit. Bye and greetings from Croatia.
P.S. Seeing these pictures, I would definitely wish to visit Boracay.

soulbrush said...

Helena de Tróia said...

That´s the place where everybody wants to be! thanks for sharing.

Sandi McBride said...

My Dear Lawstude...what a talent you have in the world of Photography...these are definitely worthy of publication...I am tempted to say "why waste your time with Law School" except for the fact that education is the most important thing to pursue at your age. But please, don't let the schooling interfere with the talent.
Sandi
ps
thank you for the sweet words at my place...

Maddy said...

A Coconut Tree - Climb and Pose Anyone?

Gramma L said...

These are beautiful pictures. What a lovely place to live. All the pictures were great, but I think I like the coconut tree view the best - that just made me laugh.

Inkataika said...

Hi Lawstude! You have something (Art y Pico award) waiting on my another blog insteed you usually visit. Concratulation! =)

Twin said...

Galing, pang postcards ang photos mo...

tr3nta said...

Beautiful series of shots... you live in paradise.

fortuitous faery said...

uy, puede pala isulat ang sariling pangalan sa sand sculpture? hindi ko nakita ang sand sculpture na ito nung pumunta ako ng boracay so wala akong litrato nito...haha.

sobrang daming magagandang kuha mo sa bora, did you ever get to SWIM at all? hehehe. ilang memory sticks baon mo? :P

"dura lex...durex"? :P

fortuitous faery said...

p.s. the rainbow looks fabulous! they say it's lucky to see a rainbow in the sky.

Kathiesbirds said...

Your world is amazing. It would be my husband's idea of Paradise. I love the photos. Paradise for me it the Rocky Mountain west, though I live in the Sonoran Desert now, which has its own beauty and great weather! Still, I would love to visit this place. Thank you for showing it to me.

Susan said...

Thank you for these wonderful photos. I love the abandoned hammock.
Your night shots are very good.
Have a good week.

salingPUSA said...

David B Katague said...

Hi, Lawstude! If you ever get a chance to visit my beautiful Island of Marinduque, please drop by at Chateau Du Mer, Boac for free coffee and conversation. The unspoiled white beaches, fringing reefs, virgin islets, limestone caves, waterfalls, sulfur and hots springs and mountains to climb is comparable if not better than Boracay. I have been to Boracay twice and It is always overcrowded and too commercialized for my taste!
Have a good day, David

Connie said...

Your pictures are beautiful. I love the color of the water. I wish I was there, but I will just gaze at your pictures and look at the beauty.
