Sunflower Garden in Dalaguete
Naren wanted to try her photography skills, and this flower garden is both new to us. That is why we decided to give this place a try. Fortunately, we didn’t fail. We really had fun doing shoots. Almost all the sunflowers were standing so high above us. Luckily, we found some we could reach. If you wish to get good pictures, make sure that you arrive there when the sun isn’t so high yet – around 8 to 10 in the morning. This time will give you good lighting for your photos. You should also bring a hat or umbrella because it is scorching hot especially when you reach noontime! I also highly recommend that you go there on weekdays to avoid the crowd.

The Honesty Store
What’s cool also in Sunflower Garden in Dalaguete is the honesty store. No cashier, no attendant: just you and some stuff for sale. It is unmanned which allows you and me to get whatever we need (merienda to souvenirs) and trusting us that we do the right thing! Cool, isn’t it?
