Hi! There, We're here again. Searching for Macro-Lichens in Mary Knoll, Baguio City.

3rd time of scouting. Mary Knoll is a good and peaceful place. There is a 30.00 php entrance per head. Actually, this pace is also a learning site for everybody  who wants to have fun and learn at the same time.

Mary Knoll sanctuary

Bamboos @ May Knoll

Near the bamboo area, we found this deep-big-well.

Maybe in the old times, they use this to get some water for household use.

This is actually an ancient-modern-like comfort room found in Mary Knoll Sanctuary.

This old houses is the home of the ancient people living in this certain area.

Wenvir, who's wondering what this log trees for.

Wenvir, who's looking for the Lichens.

You know my heart keep throbbing when we crossed into this inclined-metal-hanging bridge not knowing that at the end of this bridge is only an ancient comfort room. At first, we thought that there is something unusual  in the other side of the bridge but its only a Comfort Room surrounded by many bamboos.

Grace behind me keep saying "just go!" Because I don't wanna cross this Hanging bridge. I'm scared! But I conquer  my fear. Thank God.

Wew! It feels good.

The view there is nice.

God is really good/

Wenvir said "if you embrace the BIG TREE,  all your negative things that can make your body stress will be absorbed by the tree."

So TALL and BIG Pine Tree!..

So we embraced the tree. Well I think its effective. =)

This ruin place of Mary Knoll is beautiful.

This tree is consist of many variations of lichens. Small but it can accept lichens with all its might.

Grace (Bottom-left side) and I ( at the Top-right side) was checking in this tree.

I'm amazed so I climb into this tree to see those Lichens invading this tree.

The Small Replica of Tabon Cave in Mary Knoll.

The Tabon Cave Complex is in the Lipuun Point Reservation, a 138-hectare museum site reservation that lies along the western coastline of Southern Palawan. It lies northwest of the Poblacion of the municipality of Quezon, and is bound on its north, east and west parts by bodies of water. The place was an island, but is now an isthmus connected to mainland Palawan through an extensive mangrove development.

Although there is only one cave originally named Tabon, all caves in Lipuun Point Reservation have become collectively known as Tabon Cave Complex where numerous archaeological artifacts have been discovered. On April 11, 1972, Presidential Proclamation No. 996 declared the cave complex and all of Lipuun Point in Quezon, Palawan a site museum reservation. This declaration ensures the protection and preservation of the caves and the immediate vicinity from deforestation and destruction.

The baby-structure of the Dinosour is so cute.

"A" stand for Amocio (Family name of Grace)

A = many meanings, its up to you to enumerate.

The flowery-structure is nice right?. 

Meditation inside of this rock formed place.

Maybe in ancient times, this placee  is used as a gathering place for eveyone.

Wenvir is standing above the "A" stone,

what does it mean?

We sat down in this area for rest. The stone-chair  faced each other for the people who will gather in this place.

The Chapel

God is giving all for us,
all we need is to nurture them, used them in a good way, preserved them for our generation and protect our nature because we and where we live in is a GIFT of LIFE.

Done here, another spot in Baguio City is next.

Thanks to this place, we learn and  knew more.
