Dragon Fruit

As I pass by my favorite gift store, these fruits selling by sidewalk vendors had caught my attention because of their vibrant color and different shape.

Dragon fruit is high in fiber, rich in vitamin C, and contains antioxidant properties. The flesh, which is eaten raw, is mildly sweet and low in calories. To improved flavor, it is generally recommended that dragon fruit be eaten chilled. It is juicy and crunchy and likened to the kiwifruit seeds and flesh.

ang ganda ng colors! quite vibrant and sharp. I see you used Canon EOS450D, just curious how much is it nowadays? Am thinking of buying SLR kasi and friends are recommending that camera. How much is its price range na?

Hi. I kinda "lost" your blog logo from my EC inbox. I tend to return drops from there.
I´m glad I became a follower when you gave me the blog award so now I can catch up your awsome pictures.
I´m sorry for being so late in posting the award. I haven´t forgot it at all. If you don´t mind, I will be posting it along with other awards I recently received.
Good weekend!
