MTB Buddy

If you've read my self-introduction (if not, it's here 'It's All About Me'), I made mention of a biking buddy who left for the Army.  This is him.  Hehehe.  He'll kill me if he knew I posted his picture.  Too bad buddy, you're in the army now.

This picture is taken near Guinabsan, Buenavista, Agusan Del Norte.  Great place to bike, very few traffic, and there are long stretches of gravelly road.  Unfortunately, logging still rears its ugly head despite the total log ban.  Oh well, I think those were falcatta anyway.

Wet Season

The 3rd quarter of the year almost always brings rains and flooding to farmers.  This picture was taken in barrio Talo-ao, Buenavista, Agusan Del Norte.  As you can see whatever palay has been planted on the field has now disappeared.  Too much of a good thing really.  The rains may be considered a boon to farmers, but if the rains go on and on, this thing happens.

One of the things that I really enjoy when I ride along ricefields is the presence of these white herons.  They're plentiful in areas planted with rice.  Unfortunately according to my riding buddy, some people get a kick out of shooting them.  Totally not cool I think.
