About CASA Veneracion
Casa is Spanish for house. CASA is also an acronym for Connie, Antonio, Sam and Alex. We are all surnamed Veneracion. We all love to take photos -- of anything that catches our fancy. It's a family obsession.

What’s up with your website? I don’t get to visit often but each time I do the format changes and I can’t find the stuff I want to see again.
ayyyy… na homesick naman ako bigla.
Nice!
Iba na talaga pag maganda lens ng camera!
haywood, thank you. I’ve learned the value of a tripod when taking night shots hehehe
The website’s fine. But’m reorganizing cause the photos are scattered in different places. I’m going to put them all together soon. you’re not the only one complaining. my husband said pretty much the same thing two nights ago. he said my blogs “aren’t husband-friendly”.
And… I started a flower blog after that comment you posted on my sunflower entry.
AnP, if you were here during typhoon Milenyo, you probably wouldn’t say that hehehehe it was quite an ordeal.
O, so, eric, time to get a DSLR!!
