Hi, beautiful hive people in Wednesday Walk community. This is my first time posting here. Allow me to introduce myself, I am @celestyne15. Please welcome me with much openess and warmth.
Let me take you on my walk around the neighborhood to capture old trees. One old mango tree fell a few years ago onto our garage roof and this year in February, another mango tree fell onto the neighbor's properties. It was bad, but fortunately, no one was hurt.
This is our old macopa tree. It bears a seasonal sweet maroon fruit. It's frustrating because the birds are the ones who will eat the fruit on the tree or harvest them every time it bears fruit. We couldn't even enjoy eating the fruit. It's satiating to sprinkle it with a little salt and eat it.
Now walking on this rough road with my partner niece is some kind of our bond. My niece has no mama to call. So I see to it I tend to what she asks and tells me. I make sure she feels loved and cared for. Even if it's simple and small, as long as I have something to share with her. I am always here for her when she needs help with her studies.
It's literally a muddy road since it rained almost every day.
Just beside my cousin's fence is his father's car, and another jeep is parked just outside their house. It's a pity the cars were left unattended and junked. It may cost him a lot to fix them at a car shop. Well, I guess they can't be fixed.
At this corner, there is an old mango tree. Its trunk looks wrinkled and weak. This is dangerous for the people who pass by since this is the only road going to and from the area.
Walking towards the main road, we saw this cute greyish-brown striped cat peeking through the gaps in a peeling-paint metal fence. Its bright eyes stare directly at the camera. The cat's posture shows curiosity and playfulness. It's a pretty cat who is just maybe waiting for food to survive.
Here is another old Ipil Tree at the opposite corner outside of my cousin's fence. Its textured trunk is surrounded by green plants and ferns, thriving on and around it. This tree is already leaning forward to the road. It's very old. I remember it stood there when I was in primary school. We played a lot near here. There is a motorcycle parked in front. It is owned by a construction worker of this new building. The building is still under construction. It is a lodging house. Before, there was a chapel right at this very building. Times change a lot.
I also went to this roadside superstore located in the middle of the subdivision. You can buy anything here. It's filled with baskets of fresh vegetables, fruits, and other produce. Very local and urban, right? This is actually a scene from everyday life. I always buy vegetables here for meals. In the peak hours, early morning, before lunch, and before dinner, cars lined up here to buy vegetables and fruits. The superstore caused traffic. I bought banana saba, my favorite. The owner and I talked a little. We are good friends. It's convenient and accesible to have this kind of store around the area. This is the only store here in the subdivision that has a complete set of items for sale. A pretty handy spot.
At the corner of the store and the street, there stood an old mango tree. As you can see, it's also leaning forward towards the street. This is another tree that poses a hazard. I already told the owner that it should be cut down by the concerned agency.
Going back, we saw another cute white cat with striking black patches sitting beside the brown and gray one on the cemented fence. It looks relaxed and nonchalant. They look pretty cute.
At our yard, we have this old tree that bears a sweet mango fruit from Guimaras. It is also already leaning forward and a little bit weak. The frequent rain made the hold of its roots weaker. It's a pity that the ground now in this area is wet and muddy because of the rain. I didn't take a recent picture, but this is the old mango tree I mean.
And that is all for today.
Thank you for walking with me.
