la mesa eco park

IRIS had its second shoot for the applicants this afternoon. I was able to make it after all, due to our visit to the doctor getting canceled cause my sister wasn't home. Met up with everyone at FA and we went along to Eco Park.

I'm always very drawn to vines somehow. They were almost everywhere.
There were boats too that you could go around the lake on. Wasn't able to go for a ride, but it was fine. XD

It was raining by the time we got there, so we just settled in one of the pavilions while waiting for the rain to stop and being silly little kids.

When the rain finally stopped, we split into groups and went around the park. The mems would teach the apps about photography basics like depth of field and the different types of grounds and stuff. To better explain, Nico had the three boys go to different distances to show what foreground, middle ground and background were.

I'll admit, I hardly did any talking. Nico was the people person, and it's just not in my nature to cut in while other people are talking. XP Haha, yeah. It's Nico!

Spotted some cute little flowers which the group dubbed as "popcorn flowers". They were tiny little things, and there were so many!

Nico demonstrated how he was a skilled gymnast, only to later confess he was at most a jungle gym-nast.

There were these pretty pink flowers, too. Strawberry flavored popcorn! The petals were extremely soft.

Yeah, like I said, I'm pretty drawn to vines for some odd reason.


So yeah. Didn't take as many pictures as I had hoped, but it was good fun. :D
