My weekend hiking

[Shutter Ace]

Hello people! kmusta? Been busy the past few days. Lately,  After my tendinitis on my left foot was gone...I felt great! Suddenly, I had the urge to go hiking again. Well, that's me spontaneous always in my trip.
Last sunday i went hiking in Balogo. One of the last remaining forested areas in Tablas.  Got a guide...and we went up to the mountain. I had several bruises and scratches, got stuck in the knee deep mud 4x and my islander sandals were torn away causing me to walk home barefoot.
Got to see some plants and other stuff for my collections. hehehe.

Here are some shots i took during the trip.

The family lives in the mountain. These are some of the people i met during my descent from the mountain. Too hot and ouchy to my feet. No time to chat with them. (forgot to use my sunblock again!)

You walked barefoot on the way home, Doc Ace? Gosh! All for the love of photography, eh?
You really are serious and passionate in your craft. Well, I think it paid off nicely coz you took wonderful pictures, some even speak volumes in terms of depth of emotions.

I've been too busy these days to be able to indulge in photography. The pics you post satisfies my love for beautiful pictures. Thanks doc!

Hi Aprodite, thank you for the compliment. I really love hiking. Ived done several hike before and i was lost once but finally reached my destination, kkapicture ng places....ayun nawala tuloy sa trail hahahhaha!!!!! The trip was ok except for my untrained guide. he never helped us actually. he just walk and walk and walk....sort of a plain stupid guide. Can you imagine my legs got stuck in the knee deep mud 4X, and he just look at me without even helping?!? Hayyyyy tlaga.  Oh, he smells liquor pa ha. But anyways, instead of loosing my patience on him I did'nt bother him kasama ko nman driver ko as my assistant. Hehehehe. I enjoyed the trip but my feet really hurt especially when walking na sa darn makahiya plants and stones. I have to pluck out those torns on my feet afterwards.
