^{***The sun is starting to set***}| ---- I was standing on a fish pond embankment behind my house. Actually, my intention was to look for small animals to photograph, but the scenery around me made me change my mind, I forgot about the animals. The sun was about to set, so it would be a shame if I missed it, I meant to take pictures. Even though I only used an old cellphone, I managed to take a few pictures. Not too bad, I think this is pretty good 😀 In the pond there are many **water hyacinth** plants that grow wild and are not maintained. Too bad, even though it looks good, it is actually very disturbing, especially because it will hinder the movement of fish in the water. ![IMG_20250401_174134.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbE7PjYv6LyRUowPUvQJiNkEbn5XYfwt8rMLC25gZqEN1/IMG_20250401_174134.jpg) ^{***Water hyacinth plants***} ---- ![IMG_20250401_174122.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmWaupACRZnWKs8oP3VjPhTq4kVBSyRamsxLs2n7FWtG3c/IMG_20250401_174122.jpg) --- I moved about 20 steps to see my small garden which only has an area of 10x5 meters. There are several chili stalks that are starting to grow and several corn stalks that are starting to bear fruit. The sunlight that enters through the leaves seems to be a natural fertilizer for the plants that I planted 2 months ago. ![IMG_20250401_174025.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmWqaEnWencFnS3ovmyVoqNPStbCG8UukxY3hiYf6cAUcQ/IMG_20250401_174025.jpg) ![IMG_20250401_174013.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmd9RnL41X1dy45FJy8gwCsZnWiKcC6Lg7j3Tmzg2vr4UG/IMG_20250401_174013.jpg) ^{***Chili plants that begin to flower***} ![IMG_20250401_174323.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZqPTwPBxK8wv4xsJbDicronDG8WbrGTTVdzZt9Xx69Wv/IMG_20250401_174323.jpg) ![IMG_20250401_174047.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPaoYivmHJqVUwCFgWDwMqX63CL3QzaJVmMvyDJX2Ro1E/IMG_20250401_174047.jpg) ^{***Corn plants that are starting to bear fruit***} ---- Behind the bushes a caterpillar was slinking, it seemed like it knew I was watching it. I pretended not to touch it so I could take a picture of it freely. And I succeeded 😀 ![IMG_20250401_174107.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmfUL5YQqKX7LoN72qwqWhTRPwANDFNtaEQU4XiaS2J2gN/IMG_20250401_174107.jpg) ^{***Caterpillars on a branch***} ---- I immediately got up when a swarm of mosquitoes started biting my ankles. Besides, the sun was starting to dim and only its rays of light were still visible. I returned home when the call to prayer for Maghrib was heard from a distance. --- >all images are personal and exclusive to Steemit. ---
