Family -- this is an easy one, since 99% of the photos we take are of our families. But what's in a family? We've got our nuclear family -- Alfie, me, Pea, 3Po and Jammy. But we also have parents and siblings and nieces and nephews and aunts and uncles and cousins and grandparents.
In the Philippines, "family" is a fluid, ever-expanding term. My grandmother has 7 children, 29 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren. Getting everyone together has become literally impossible. The photo above shows the most successful attempt so far, at my brother's wedding last December. We can barely fit in the frame!

Oh the colors are so gorgeous! I just love this photo! :)
OMG ! Well, that's a big family !!
My family consists of the 3 of us, a sister in law with her husband and daughter and the rest is dead or I don't know them. My father for unknown reasons had cut off all relations to his siblings.
BTW thanks for letting me know that you have difficulties to comment. I think I will go back to the old system !
