My house is located on a mountain. There is a view I enjoy every day with my eyes but never got a chance to visit. I was working and working throughout the day. I just wanted to skip everything and visit the place I enjoyed with my eyes every day.
My brother helped me with the walk. It was about 4.00 p.m. We went on foot, climbed down the hill, and reached the place we wanted to reach.
In fact, it is nothing but a paddy field, yes I already knew that. I visited this paddy field before 8-9 years. hee hee.. even though it's close to my house, I have visited this only before 8-9 years.
Smelling Mud
Have you ever experienced the unique smell of mud in a paddy field? It is not a pleasant smell but it makes you feel that you belong to the village. These days people are digging the paddy field using tractors and hoes. So the smell is already there.
The area already planted
One-half of the field is already planted and the other half is digging and planting. Here, they are growing by spreading rice seeds.

Desire 01 achieved.
Storks
When I look at the paddy field from our mountain, I see hundreds of storks. I wanted to have a closer look today. They were in the left side area of this large paddy field. So we walked through the road.To get into the paddy field we had to skip from a waterway of about 1m in width. It is not deep but after adding the height of the road it was a little high. But we had to jump through it to meet storks. My brother did it easily, and me too. But when returning back, it was very difficult. Luckily I found an easy place where there is a hole in the wall. I could put my feet on it and climb up to the road.
Jumping through the waterway
Then we met storks, the white-colored ones, who I was looking at whole my day from the mountain top. As the paddy field has been dug, they have enough food these days.
Carefully watch, there are many storks
Desire 02 Achieved.
Water Lilies
When I look from the mountain, I see a line of well-bloomed water lilies. There is a different name for this type, it is called "Bera Olu". So now.. I am in front of them.To reach the waterlilies, I had to walk through the bunt which is called "Iwura".
Walk towards water lilies
Water lilies were on the left side. They were buds as this is the evening. There were insects jumping here and there. There were water lilies along the left side of the bunt.
Found what I was looking for
I enjoyed the fresh cold breeze through this walk.
Desire 03 Achieved.
Fish?
I wanted to see some fish too. I couldn't see any from my eyes, unfortunately. But I saw some boys were catching fish.There was a net placed across the waterway with the intention of catching fish.
Boys are attempting to catch fish
Desire 04 Not Achieved
These few hours refreshed my lungs with fresh air even with a little muddy smell. It was a nice feeling when the wind passes by toughing my whole body. Green color ground with blue sky gave a break to my eyes from the white color screen with black texts. The sound of the breeze went through my ears and then to the brain and recalled I am lucky to be here.
As we have to go for a second destination, we said goodbye to this ecosystem. See you another day with the next destination!
