Beautiful Mati
A few months back, I joined a team from my church to a medical and dental outreach conducted in a fishing community somewhere in Mati, Davao Oriental. It was great to be able to extend help to a needy community for two days, this was a real treat--and the fringe benefit was also great: an afternoon in a small uninhabited island across the fishing village. The view was so beautiful that it inspired the 'artist' in me...so below are a couple of my amateur attempts at capturing what I find hard to put into words. :)

wow! ganda! i had been to mati. but not in their beaches but in the mountain. hehehe. but it's a nice view from the road.. yung may parang crocodile ba yun? sorry ha. 2 years ago pa kse yung punta ko jan.hehe ;p
Wow! Gorgeous photo. definitely wallpaper material. got any more?
Sexy Mom, thanks :) Glad to know my amateur attempts are well-received. Hehe. Thanks also for dropping by.
Tin, hmmm...i know what you mean! Yong's Sleeping dragon! Meron din akong photo non pero I didnt take that one. Ganda talaga ng Pilipins, ano? :)
Swipe, alas I took these photos from my friends hi-end digicam and so I just got it from him via email, so this is not wallpaper material...by the way did you get my YM? I still would like that photo you took of the moon. :)
I've always heard that the beaches of Mati are very good... now I know why :D
Where in Mati is this? Definitely not Dahican Beach.
I love the clear water.
Wow, definitely wallpaper material. The kind of pictures you wanna put in a travel magazine. How do you get there from Davao city?
Ganda ng pics! Kaka-miss ang beach dyan sa atin.
Hi Gypsy,
I sent the full moon pic to the email address that you sent. It' might have been blocked by your company's firewall. do you have a webmail address that I can send it to?
Hi Hoop and Abaniko,
Its a across a small fishing village called Taganilao, about one hour' drive from Mati town proper. The island itself is owned by one of the families in that village. :)
Hi Niceheart, Prab and Jen,
Thanks! Good to know my amateur photos are receiving good reviews. Heheh. I think you can take a bus to Mati from Davao. And negotiate with some of the townsfolk on getting there by banca...when we were there, I saw a group docking there for scuba diving and they didnt come from the fishing village we came from.:)
niceeee! :) great shots, gypsy! the possibilities for creativity are endless.
i don't think i've ever been to mati. pity :/
Beautiful pics! For a while I thought the scenery was from another country, like Maldives, pero sa Davao pala! Ang ganda ng Pinas! :)
Hey Aleks,
Yep, the possibilities are endless, so need to get the creative juice going! :)
Hi Rhodora
Thanks for dropping by! :) Wow have, like Maldives pala? World-class talaga beaches natin, no? I'm sure there are still a lot of undiscovered bits of paradise in our country...
That is just beautiful Gypsy! Our country is so beautiful. The weather was perfect at that time too. Now, I miss home again. :)
WoW! This must be paradise on earth..Ganda-ganda talaga!
Bloghopped from Toe's.
Serenity is perfectly captured in a lone wooden bench (and a lone banca) with a calm and peaceful blue sea at the background.
