📸 Photo of the day📸

in #photography7 years ago (edited)

I was walking around Sampaloc Lake when this caught my attention, and I just thought i'd share it with the community. Photo was taken using a Blackberry Priv, in good light, and post-processed in Adobe Photoshop.

a brief background:
My name is Erwin, a work-from-home dad living in San Pablo City, Philippines. We have three kids, Kirsten, Zeppelin (the start of this blog), and Vedder.

Zeppelin, or Zepp as we fondly call him, was born with a severe infection that resulted in the lack of oxygen during the first moments of his life.

He was behind developmentally in his first years, and was finally diagnosed with GDD (Global Developmental Delay) when he turned 2 by a Developmental Pediatrician

We threw in everything, including the kitchen sink, so he could have his therapies -- occupational, speech and as well as special education, with the hopes that he'll improve before 7 years old -- the time when the brain is at its most malleable. He's now past that age, and have only gained little improvement.

He has the cognitive skills of a 2 year old, language skills of a 1 year old, motor skills of a pre-schooler, and the appetite of a full-grown adult.

I love him with all of my heart.

Shameless Plug

If you haven't read it yet, please do take the time to read the beautifully-written A Day In The Clouds which chronicles one of Zepp's misdaventures.

great pic. Love the colors.

This is hilarious. When I first saw your post, the picture had not uploaded at that point, so I thought your post was a click bait. My first response was a snarky sarcasm. Then when my husband came in and I was briefing him on the matter, I pulled the post back up to show him, and lo and behold, there was your picture.

So now, I will say again, with no hint of sarcasm: Great Pic. Love the Colors.

You are welcome, and now, when I pulled up the post again, to respond to your Thank you, your written story has appeared. I wish you and your family a wonderful day. Hug all those kiddos for me. Special love to Zep.

OMG, zepp. What a low blow it was only 7 AM here. And a Sunday Morning. I was gonna blame it on a poor computer connection. lol

Nice! I love the contrast between it and the lake. The B&W surroundings really make the colors of the balloons pop. Yes, puns were intended.

Thank you!
