#562 - Batad shots for today.
A wonderful Tuesday evening my dear beautiful people of Hive. It's a working day for me to and it started at five in the morning where I have to wake up and prepare the meal for my son and then accompanied him to school also. In the afternoon after my shift ended I also accompanied my mother-in-law to a friend house, she has to give something because a friend of his brother died and it's like an abuloy or donation to their friend. Then after a short period of chatting with the old people we went home and that sums up my day.😅
Moving on to our daily photos, we got here some several lovely shots of Batad taken while we were traversing the path going to the viewing point. This first one shows a section of the amphitheater where the local houses are in the middle of the rice fields. The number of houses has gradually increased, it has been several years since our first visit but there seems to be only a couple of houses that got erected. The mountain area behind is still full of lush green trees.
They have also planted several flowering plants on the trail where the viewpoint area is and the plants flowers attract different varieties of flies, here we got a bumble bee busy with its thing on the pink flower.
We got here a shot showing that there are houses in the forested area of the mountain just beside the rice fields. There seem to be some two more houses added on the left portion. The houses are all lined up in a row and have similar roof colors.

A zoom shot of hikers who were ahead of us. They are already going down the steps from the viewing point and they are making their way to the falls they call Tapiya which is about more than a kilometer or two of trek from where the viewing area is.
Lastly is a shot showing some more of the houses which are on the right side of the mountain. Just above those closed together houses is the inn we were staying for the night, those house in the upper right.
Follow me on my nature travels.
