Macro /Mellow Yellow Monday

Dates Palm Tree is everywhere in the Middle East and most of it are bearing it's fruits during this time of the year. . This fruit is yummy, so sweet that it blends well with a tea, a natural sweetener. According to my Arab friends, dates is rich in iron so it's good for pregnant women. This fruit is so versatile that Arabs made some ways to make it more appealing to eat; when ripe, it is use as a filling in breads or cookies. It can also be eaten fresh from the tree, when dried it becomes juicy and crunchy, it is also preserved and sprinkled with some sesame seeds . (See More on Wikipedia if you wish to: (Phoenix dactylifera) ).Dates-1
I was lucky to find a not so tall Dates Palm Tree but with only 3 fruits left in its twig. And I found a heart shape at this angle.

This photo was taken over the weekend during our outdoor fellowship with my Nikon D5000 using a Marumi DHG Anchromat Macro-200(+5) Filter, 62 mm,  attached with my Tamron 18-200 mm lens. It was my second time to use this filter and I'm happy with the results.
Thank you very much if you happen to blog hop, don't forget to leave your mark by writing your thoughts. Have a Blessed Week ahead!

Flowers of Rastanura

Friends are flowers in the garden of life CAPTURING I  had the chance to capture some beautiful flowers when we went swimming in ARAMCO Rastanura last 2011 Eid Al Adha. Yep, this photos has been sleeping for a long time now in my external hard disk :) It's so rare for me to have subjects such as these because of the place where I am at. I'm not saying that this place is not picturesque but only because our life in this country revolves in "going to work" and "going home"; we sometimes eat out; but most of the time we make some groceries during salary or have some time in the park, but only when the weather is fine.  The whole family can also drive around during Eid Al Fitr and Eid Al Adha. But I cannot just go out anytime I want and drive around the city just to point and shoot all the beautiful things I see; women are not allowed to drive here (sigh, as if I know how to drive :b).  On our way I don't know the names of these flowers

H ello blogger world, welcome to my new website, "annFabulous Life". It's not actually a new blog, but more of a new home. I thought of separating my life diary from my devotional blog for the sake of organization. Though I'm not really so prompt in updating my blogs I still want to maintain it because I'm really fond of doing this but it seems weird not to find time in doing things I like, hmm. This blog site is called annFabulous' Life because it will depict my family's fabulous life, yep fabulous life in my own right. First and foremost it's not to brag that we are having a fabulous life in the real sense of the word. But it is to share that fabulous life  means everything is big, phenomenal,  incredible, unbelievable, or remarkable not only in the time where everything is smooth and succesful but also in the hour of trial, desperation and poverty. Why? because we have found it possible to maintain the spirit of joy in every circumstances, no

A Mother's Day Card

Proverbs 22:6- Train up a child in the way he should go. And when he is old he will not depart from it. I t was Mother’s Day and greetings are overwhelming. But nothing would make my heart melt but to receive a card from my own child. This is the first card that my daughter Mikay gave to me, it was done during our Friday service in the children ministry with her teacher Jaz.  It wasn’t a card that is perfectly made with all those fancy colours and decors but it was just a card made from a pink bond paper with paper star cut outs with letters   I,   heart shape   and   U   to say the word   I Love You .  Inside it, was just the words “Happy Mothers Day” written with ordinary crayons. All in all, it was typically done by a four year old child. And for a mother like me it is special and I love it.   My daughter Mikay is very playful and loves to watch cartoons, her favourite is Winnie the Pooh, Sponge Bob Square pants, Tom and Jerry, Mickey Mouse, Bear and the Big Blue House, Wiggles, Dor
