Hello @jonalyn2020. Welcome to Ladies of Hive. We appreciate you joining in contest #62 with your first entry for the Community contests.
What a lovely thought:
Truly, there's no place like home. This is the only place I know that I can recharge my whole being after the stressful months of working away. Whenever I feel too much pressure and would love to take a deep breath, my option is home.
That is as it should be. There's no place like home..and you should always be able to return.
Your holiday food sounds lovely. I especially like the fruit salad. In the U.S., we have a fruit salad with much of the same ingredients. It's most refreshing.
Thanks for taking the time to participate. Hope to see more your entries in the future. Take care, and have a wonderful Christmas holiday with family...at home.
It's an honor to join this contest of LOH. And I am hoping to constantly join more of it. Thank you so much @justclickindiva for this wonderful questions, it reminds us the importance and the true value of our family especially when occasions like this. And yes, buko salad is like having a fruit salad, in addition of shredded young coconut. Merry Christmas and God bless.🥰
Same to you. I see that the photo for the salad is from Facebook. Is it your FB account or someone else?
It wasn't mine, I just search it on the FB and pick a random picture since I'm not really a type of person BEFORE who takes picture with everything that surrounds me, but through Hive, I now appreciate and know the value of taking my own pictures to share. And I'm hoping this Christmas, I would collect some of the unforgettable and beautiful things that is around me.
As a rule, you just can't select any photo you find on the internet and include it in your blog unless the photo is free for you to use. Photos on social media, such as facebook and Pinterest are not free. They belong to someone. In order to use them, you have to get permission to do so. That's why it's always recommended to use your own photos. Alternatively, look for sites that offer free images with copyright restrictions. Sites such as Pixabay, Pexels, Unsplash, Kaboompics, and Wikipedia Commons. As long as the photo has a Creative Commons license that allows you to use it, then be safe and choose a photo from one of those or any other sites.
Thanks for your response.
Oh I see. I thought it's enough to put it's source. By the way, thanks for the information and the samples of sites in which I can freely use the photos. It helps a lot.
And by the way, I'll try to look a photo with the sites you had mentioned and try to edit my post.
Hello @justclickindiva. I tried to look for a buko salad picture on sites that you had mentioned but I can't find one that fit to the ingredients, but I did find a pic on canva, and able to change the picture. Hope it's okay now.😊
By the way, I did message the owner of that 'buko salad' picture, since it happens that she was a friend on my list though I don't exactly knew her, but up to now, she's offline. So I decided to change the picture and pick the one from canva.

Canva is good for its free images. Just make sure that all the images you created the collage with are free. Since Canva also has premium images for its Pro Members, your reader can't tell whether the images are free to use. If you're changing the images to make a collage in Canva, you need to indicate they images are free. All images have links to them in Canva.
Hmm, maybe for fruit salad but there's no strips of young coconut fruit in there so it can't be called buko salad. 😊
