A Watery Moment

At the small jeepney terminal where we wait for the jeepney to be filled up of commuters to the provincial city for the bus terminal to Metro Manila, I got off first to the nearby shoreline. I was hoping to see a spectacularly beautiful colorful stone to be brought to the big city for a friend. However, the water is high and most of the lovely stones are under water. I gave up the idea and instead looked at the horizon.

 colorful stones are still under water, we have to wait for the low tide for them to be accessible

 the water was calm good for some leisurely boat rides, i envy these teens spending their time here

 the three young teens at the back are just having some fun, while the 3 men in front might be going for some fishing on the deeper areas

 Colorful motorized boats ply these shores. At the background is where the Batangas International Port is located.

 Look at that boat, it is so beautiful, and the man's hat looks like the traditional Vietnamese hat. Not many of us are using these hats here. The conventional baseball caps are the most common for boys and men. And look at the trunks holding the soil not to be profusely eroded by high violent waves, during typhoons! At the right is a 'talisay' tree, Terminalia catappa, which are volunteer trees in our marginal areas. At the left however, is the commercially famous industrial crop, the coconut or Cocos nucifera, where the famous Virgin Coconut Oil and the now becoming famous coco sugar is produced.

I bet this is just a leisurely ride for these young teens. They are making the most of the calm waters, as these is not happening often in these parts of our shores.
