APAD 179: Blooming and balancing…
… the cans. You don’t even know what this “thing” is from a distance. This is the back side. Hidden behind the pile of cans strung together, is a man, in his 40s, and driving a motorcycle. It’s a dangerous job collecting these cans. The driver himself could not see what’s following behind him. And the others could not see what is this moving “thing”, what was in front or where the driver is if you don’t get closer to it. Takes a lot of balancing act and presence of mind and nerves of steel to be able to drive on these roads. I just pray that this can collector go through his daily rounds safely each day.
This is actually an old photo I took some years ago while on a research activity in Kep. As you can see in the watermakr, it was posted in my other blog.

APAD 178: Hello and goodbye, setting sun!
Today, the sun finally came out so we took advantage of the good weather. We did the laundry – loads of it – and after that, it was a day out with my husband since today is his day off from work. When we got home, we had coffee while enjoying this beautiful sunset view from our veranda.
Have a great Friday, everyone!

APAD 176: Unstoppable?
No rain or floodwater can stop this young lad from going to school. Kind of reminds me of me when I was younger, lol.
And if it were me above, cycling through the flooded street, I’d be happily whistling, too.

APAD 175: Hard life
In my previous posts, I posted a photo showing the flooded ricefield in one Cambodian province. Apparently, there are areas where the water has subsided a bit. But look at what the rains did to the only only road that links this village to the next.
While the rainy season provides the much-need water for irrigation of crops and domestic consumption, too much of rain also is a bane to farmers, drowning their crops and other sources of livelihood. Such is the life of farmers and villagers in rural areas. While I’m writing this, the sky is getting darker and I can see the rain clouds hovering. Looks like it is going to be a wet, wet afternoon again.
