Amorsolo postcard and Caparas stamp

Gingmaganda sent me a postcard with a painting by National Artist Fernando Amorsolo titled "Atis & Lanzones" (1926). I like works of art, especially by Filipino painters, so this made my day. Beautiful isn't it?
With the card is this Joaquin Bordado stamp which is, actually, the reason why she sent me the postcard in the first place. I wanted one. See her post about the stamps here.Thank you very much Ms. Gingmaganda!!! Sa uulitin hehe.

This hand is not mine

My brother-in-law took this photo using my Olympus E-520. I really like the way he captured this portion of the Memorare sculpture in Intramuros. I will be posting the picture of the whole monument next Monday.

Jose Rizal is the national hero of the Philippines. Shown here are footprint-shaped bronze markers that trace his last steps prior to his execution by Spanish authorities in 1896. His death helped pave the way for Philippine nationalism and independence.
