The highest turret of a Catholic church in Capiz Province. This picture was obviously taken from a very wonky angle which is, of course, a window seat of the bus. Notice that the pinnacle of the structure is slowly being overgrown by wild-looking ivy and moss.

A bouquet of very expensive flowers given to me, during a period of hospitalization from serious illness. The bouquet was sent by airplane from Metro Manila and delivered straight to me.

The subject is an endangered species of wild boar, indigenous to the Philippines. It is one of the few captured and being raised by a reservation in Capiz. I was struck by its melancholy pose behind its pen of wires.
