#777 - Mountain Province shots for Monday.

A warm Monday evening fellow beautiful Hiveans. Finally, had a good sleep because we slept last night at nine and woke up at six in the morning which is more than nine hours of sleep. That is like a dream for most of my days because I barely get five to six hours of sleep especially when working the night shifts. My mother in law cooked breakfast late too she prepared chicken with coconut milk. Then the rest of the day was chill for me, I just helped the wife fixed and fold the laundry we washed yesterday then watched Netflix most of the afternoon. My brother in law also went to work and his wife went with their kid to a field trip so they left their two dogs with us for the day and I got them dogs go out and run together with our old dog outside the house.

Alright for our daily shots we have here frames taken when we went to see our relatives in the Mountain Province, my mother's elder sister and her family. We went straight to my cousin's house who is the youngest of my aunt's kids. My cousin has his own house already and his work involved being an automobile mechanic in their remote village so that means he is the only one there and sometimes he works after hours because he is the only mechanic there. In his front yard where his shop is they have this vine like plant that has these colorful large flowers.

Then after some time in my cousin house we went downhill where the house of my aunt is located and there they also has a small pigerie with a few numbers of pigs. The pigs are already matured and ready to be sold in just a couple of weeks more. When my wife and I got near the pig pen, the pigs started standing up yo see us and it seems they are already hungry because it's in the middle of the day already.

Then we went back to my cousin's house to have lunch and small talks with the relatives. Then in the afternoon we went to a place or spot near their area which is a great spot for a view of the mountains in their town. So we went there and glimpsed the wonderful hills of mountains while the clouds are covering the sun. The area of mountains here is vast as far as the eyes can see in the second photo. In this first shot we can see that there's a valley not far and that is already another region called Cagayan valley wherein it's literally flat area of provinces.

I asked my brother also to take a photo of me and the wife while posing with the mountainous background. The temperature was not cold and also not warm just fair enough and windy too.

Then on our way home we passed by a rice field with green crops grown. The plants are still in their early stage of growth and will take weeks before it grow flowers then start bearing fruits. So it's still going to be a while before the harvest season arrive.

Follow me on my nature travels.
