Steemit Philippines Community Photography Contest Week 1 | Theme: Travel Escapade (08-07-2021) | Romancing With Nature In Marilog, Datu Salumay, Davao City

Marilog, Datu Salumay, Davao City

Every facet of nature unravels into a single vibrant delight. It's as if each living thing is connecting a feeling, a tangible and blended bond, a melody beyond the range of the ears but available to the heart. As a result, a piece of me moves with each leaf in the wind. It is the glue that holds the universe together.

When you first look beyond the horizon and see nature without the cloud of discontent, it's rather magnificent. Excitement comes without any filter, with the naked eye and the intellect exposed to the beauty of this world. And everything gets so much better when you see tiny things when you can fall in love with the small. The more significant things get, the stronger the sense of love grows. It's then that you realize you've been living a half-life, grayed and missing the warmth that every human is born with.

The trees are dancing beauties in this light that colors my skin so warmly, each in an outfit more gorgeous than any designer could concoct. They dance in perfect time with one another, choreographed by the wind. They're the heart and soul of this late summer afternoon. Nature is home, hearth, and nourishment for all of creation's kin, echoing with the golden light of the soul and into eternity.

The destination flourished on the hill amid the grass and trees, as if it had sprouted from some exquisite seed one day. What I'm trying to say is that it belonged there, and if it wasn't, the picture of that scene would be missing something extremely beautiful. So, despite the fact that the trees were venerable and the light that flowed highlighted the leaves like ethereal confetti, it was a very wonderful setting that I adored. It is the perfect place for people who wanted to relax, unwind and be one with nature to stay out of the hustle and bustle of city life. We always visit the place every time we go home to Davao City. It's just a drive away from our ancestral home and the kids really like the cold weather there. We call it Baguio City in Davao.
