Tutubi, tutubi, huwag kang papahuli sa batang mapanghi.
Can you name one ”game’ that you enjoyed the most when you were a child?
Mine was catching dragonflies! After school, my siblings and I were allowed for an hour or two by our aunts (they took care of us, not my mom because she was always at work) to go out and and play. When we get tired from running around, we will settle down a bit by the tall grass and start to bug the bugs. Dragonflies, we loooove catching them.
here we are after catching and releasing dragonflies. Yes we would always release them, but of course some would not survive kids’ enthusiasm at times.
I still have the same feeling when I see dragonflies. But I don’t catch nor touch them anymore. I SHOOT them! With my camera of course 
Nobody gets hurt and beautiful memory lingers.
Do you think my tutubi looks mad here

You remind me of my childhood days Thess, we used to do that catching tutubi’s! nice shot, at least ngayon piktyur piktyur na lang sila.
Btw, got you an award…you really deserved it. hugs.

Thess, naku, didn’t we all do that way back then. Now, I seriously don’t see too much dragonflies in the Philippines anymore (at least where we live). Hay, I wish my children could have also experienced that… hmmm, now I think I sound so old… hehehe!
Yup, mukhang he does not want his picture taken!

Sa title pa lang natawa na ako! Hahahaha… Yan ang nakaka-miss sa kabataan natin eh. Ngaun, sa screen na lang ng computer nakikita ng mga bata yan unlike before na nahuhuli talaga sila at nakakatuwa ang tunog ng pagaspas ng pakpak nila hehe… parang salagubang. Panahon na naman ng salagubang ngaun dito, te. Tag-ulan na kasi.
Hay… those were the days…
Istorbo ka raw,te, sabi ng tutubi dyang nakuhanan mo! Hehehee

Shh, wag ka maingay, kalabaw lang daw ang tumatanda!
seriously, I really really hope that today’s generation will be able to experience all good things that seem to be vanishing from the face of the earth…nakakalungkot ano?

Naku malupet nga, sumaki tlikod ko sa tutubing yan!!!
at hindi lang insekto marami dito, madami ding PANGIT DITO!

Hi DANG! Uy, tilaok ng manok buti na lang nakakarinig pa ako dito nyan. May mangilan ngilan na mga dutch nag-aalaga ng manok na tandang sa kanilang garden, pero hindi pang sabong ha..pet lang talaga.
salamat sa dalaw ha! dalawin kita bukas, para na rin sa LP.

Uy She, delicacy na din ba dyan sa atin ang salagubang? o kaya tutubi? Sa Thailand kasi ordinaryo mga ito sa kalye, itinitinda….hmmm, masarap kaya?
off topic ako sumagot ano? bwahaha

naku ang saya pagnakakahuli ako ng tutubi. kailangan ay hindi ka kikibo. ang technique ay sa buntot agad ang dale. ang hinuhuli namin ayyung ginto ang pakapak at kulay blue. pag kasi ordinaryong tutubiwalang kwenta sabi ng mga kalaro ko. pati salagubang hinuhuli namin pero mas mataas ang valor ng salaginto. kakamis maging bata.
pero pinaka peborit ko ay chi-chu yun bang unahan sa base ng kalaban. hehe

Thank you for sharing this childhood memory. I also have fond memories of catching dragonflies by its tail and letting them go when I was younger.
Great close up shot of the dragonfly.
