We spent an hour and a half together in the sea; staring at the huge waves, at the television which once played a comedy film, me staring at their backs, at their actions, trying to get a good shot of whatever I could shoot discreetly.
There's this story of a grandma and her grandchildren who were searching for a vacant seat. There's no vacant seats but they could share with others.. but I guess she doesn't like the idea so they remained standing on the side. I fell asleep and when I opened my eyes, I saw them 3 sitting on the chair and her grandson not feeling well; he puked, and the other child, the girl, jumped to the other seat in front of them. The man who was sitting there.. I don't know where he went. And the grandma continued comforting her grandson.
The waves were huge.. huge enough to sway a ship, a ship loaded with trucks, huge trucks.. it also kinda made me sick, well I just had the worst hangover before that trip.
What great photo's they really compliment the story. The love between a grandmother and her grandchildren is difficult to replicate.
ReplyDeleteIs this in Batangas? The seas are rough during this months isn't it. Lovely photos. I miss my mother. I wish my mother can touch my son and so grandmotherly things like the Granny in this series. #BWPhotoProject
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful photos and a lovely story too. Never a good idea to be hungover on a boat either, I did that once - never again! Thank you so much for sharing and joining in #bwphotoproject
ReplyDeleteI love the stories that these photos tell. And somehow you manage to exactly capture that queasy feeling!
ReplyDeletethank you, Caroline!
ReplyDeleteI actually love this shot, it's one of my favorites.. but I was so careful not to bother them because I'm stealing their moment!
and thanks for dropping by! ♥♥♥
Yeah, I'll never do that hangover-boat combination trip ever again! I was actually lucky I did it all in the bathroom! tmi??
ReplyDeleteThanks again for tweeting my post and I'm glad you liked the shots! :>
Have a great day! ♥♥♥
It's in Cebu, on our way to Bantayan Island.. and yeah, I heard the waves are also bad in Batangas.. also in Camarines Norte. I guess you just have to skip traveling in the sea if it's raining, but it actually always rains when we travel, even during summer! How funny is that?!
ReplyDeleteWell I hope your mom and her grandson meets soon.. that would be like the most lovely picture you could ever take when they hug.
I'm glad you liked the shots, and thank you for dropping by!
Have a great day, Merlinda! ♥♥♥
Thank you so much, Fiona!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you liked the shots, and I agree. The love in this photo is radiating, and whenever I see this photo, I remember how she cleans the child and cradles him in her big arms. ♥♥♥
