#1202 - More of Atok Flowers Farm Shots for Friday.

A very good Friday dearest Hiveans across the globe! There is a special kind of magic that happens on Friday. It is that exact moment when you realize the heavy lifting is done. I hope that feeling of relief is washing over you right now. Wishing everyone a calm and happy Friday. Enjoy the weekend freedom to the fullest😍!

Now for our daily shots this time one early dawn in the highlands of Atok, Benguet with the temperature drops to near freezing. But wife, our friend Dandreb and I wanted to catch the Northern Blossom Flowers Farm at its quietest and most magical hour. One of our stop was the famous sunflower field. The sky above us was still heavily filled with thick clouds. There wasn't a single beam of sunlight yet. Despite the lack of sun, the sunflowers were in full bloom. They stood tall and still.

From the sunflowers, we wandered to another section of the farm where we found the colorful hydrangeas. These were stunning. Clusters of pink, blue, purple and white blooms the garden. The chilly morning seemed to make their colors look even richer and more intense.

The scenery was simply too beautiful to just walk past, so my wife and I took turns taking photos of each other. We made sure to capture the majestic Cordillera mountains in the background, with the vibrant flowers framing the shots. The misty mountain backdrop made every picture look like a postcard.

As we strolled through the farm and in just a few minutes, the sun should come up through the distant area where Mount Pulag stands. We could see the faint outline of the famous peak in the distance. Standing here among the hydrangeas and sunflowers while shivering in the cold was still an unforgettable highland experience.
