Monomad Challenge: "Great Views and Things At The River" Black and White Photography

Exploring at the River is very fun and enjoyable in fact this what I did this morning at exactly 9 in the morning. I only sometimes visiting this place specially when we do fruit harvesting here at the farm since our farm is only near at the river. For today's black and white entry of mine initiated by #monomad, allow me to share some of the unique photos I captured during a visit at the river. The first photo of mine shows a card and it is a kind of 10 malunggay Card drawn. I wonder why this thing reached in here and I also think where are the rest of this card. It is exposed under the heat of the Sun and already have small cracks at the surface.

📸 A Boot:

This image is very funny for me and I also wonder why it reached in here. I tried to looked for the pair of this boot but I cannot find it. Maybe during the flood this boot was washed away and the owner will might be very busy searching the boots. I found this half burried at the sand and I decided to got it and placed at the stone so I can captured the image perfectly. As I observed the boot, there is no whole or any cracks on it but it cannot used because the pair of it was not at the place.

📸 A Bird's Nest at The Tree Branch:

Each side of the cliff contains lots of wild plants and trees, it helps the place to keep avoiding of collapsing when there is a strong flood. But the most interesting and eye catching during my exploration is that I noticed this very unique bird's nest placing at one of the tree branches. It builts very unique because of the design and it is perfectly built in round shape. I carefully looked at the inside of the nest but there was no egg and it looks like the egg has already hatched at the young birds are already flew away.

📸 A Big Rock at The Fresh Water:

Lots of big rocks also half burried by sand located at the middle of the river just like this one. This rock was already washed out due to big floods from mountainous places and it ended in here. The shapes, sizes and rock formations helps the river to have a cool and wonderful views. Aside of that, those rocks submerged at the fresh water also served as a habitat to all small fresh water animals like shrimps, crabs and fish.

📸 A Scary Spider:

Because of the grassy cliffs near at the river, different kinds of insects are expectedly seen and found. One of this is the scary spider I found during an exploration. The shape of the Spider's body is very scary and it contains lots of thorns on it. The spider was very busy building its spider web between two branches.

📸 A Very Tall old Tree:

This big, tall and old trees helps the place to become more cool and relaxing. Most of the trees can be seen and found here is this acacia tree. It grows wider producing lots of branches and small leaves. This big and tall Acacia trees already grows many years already and it is keep sticking at the cliff. Lots of wild animals like birds can be seen and heard and a shady place at the river.

📸 Falling Leaves at The Ground:

Because we still suffered very intense heat from the Sun, lots of leaves will expectedly falled to the ground particularly at the river. This is very normal to us here specially every Summer season. The weather changes and Month of August, our place should happens heavy rains. But this time an intense heat happens. I really had a great day exploring at the river.

Until next post, have a nice day to all of us.
