The Sights that lighten my heart



Mirelle, a wild duck, chose to lay her eggs in a corner of my garden in Gouda. I watched her everyday laying her eggs. On a bright Easter Sunday 2006, the eggs were hatched. It was a sight to behold when Mirelle finally left her nest and led her brood to the nearby canal.



When I arrived in my home in Bansalan, I was surprised to see this hen laying eggs in a corner of my front garden. She reminded me of Mirelle. A few days after Christmas the eggs were hatched.



This is a carabao or water buffalo. Carabao is considered as a farmer's best friend in the Philippines. She is pregnant.
