Last Saturday, I had an opportunity to go on a field-trip with the children of
Aziza’s Place. It is a home and learning centre for impoverished Cambodian children. Lately, there were opportunities for me to spend some time with the kids and help out and last Saturday, they invited me to join them in this fun activity.

We went to a farm in Kandal province, just an hour or so away from Phnom Penh.It was a welcome change of environment for me as I haven’t been out of the city for awhile.
The field-trip was a great opportunity for the kids to explore the world around them, in this case, the farm. The kids enjoyed the visit, looking at feeding farm animals, catching bugs and insects, catching fish the traditional Khmer way, and playing games. The farm was big and had a huge lotus pond as well.On our way to the pond, we passed by rows and rows of the climbing bottle-gourd plants. The yellow flowers caught my attention.

I love, I love them so – my green things growing!
And I think that they love me, without false showing;
For by many a tender touch, they comfort me so much,
With the soft mute comfort of green things growing.
– From the poem, Green Things Growing, by Dinah Maria Mulock.

Uh-oh, looks like the fly is done for. Poor thing. It is indeed the survival of the fittest out there…
Looking at this again and again gives me the willies… I certainly wouldn’t want to be caught in the middle of that!
Took this photo long ago when my point-and-shoot digi-cam was brand new. I tried the macro-shot feature and could not believe how it turned out – an incredible extreme close up of bugs slugging it out. I love the depth of field here. I was just there, at the right place and at the right time, lucky me.(Poor fly though.) My husband said this would be an excellent and useful picture for teaching food chain.
