Hi Everyone,

  These are just some recent, semi-related photos.  By the way, the photo with the sailboat Purpose Driven was an oxymoron because the image of the crew just sitting there waiting to do something was just the opposite of the boat’s name.  Oh well.

  I was testing the 6X zoom on the Canon.  The local police department was out for a morning jog in the heat.  The front of the group was smiling…..

  Back of the line needed help from their buddies.

Usually the police, (pulis here in the Philippines,) are on bicycles.  There were lots of people here over the long Easter holiday, but nothing needed crowd control which is what horses are usually for. 

  I guess their speed was being monitored.  Good guys with black hats!  Nice horses.

   Across Rizal Highway from the SBYC pony rides are now available. 

I’m taking a pass after my Chinese experience. 

These 2 kids don’t look like riding with be their thing.  The little girl in her pink Easter bonnet is adorable.

Anxious moms. 

My mother had a huge red bag and by the end of any outing everything no one wanted would be in that red bag; sweaters, you name it.  One home movie shows my mom with the loaded red bag and holding our  dog on a leash.  We were visiting Fort Ticonderoga in New York State.  My sister and I are skipping along unencumbered and my father is taking the home movie.  This image of the lady on the left loaded with bags reminded me of that.  Plus, when we were about the size of these kids,  it was my mother who took us for riding lessons. 

Yesterday morning one of the racing boats had its huge spinnaker flapping in the very little breeze. Maybe drying it out from yesterday’s race. 

The sail is designed to look like the Philippine flag.  The Philippine boat, Full Metal Jacket did win the Hong Kong to Subic race, but I honestly don’t know if that is it or not and I am honestly too lazy to walk over to the other dock to look.
