My wife and youngest daughter headed to Phnom Penh for a formal party, so Srey-Yuu and I stayed at home and misted the Mothership's orchids.
A Kitty Too 🐈⬛
In total I guess we were two humans and one cat for several days, and quite busy because we had guests coming to camp as well as Srey-Yuu having to pack a suitcase for a wedding ceremony. Srey-Yuu has to ride around 3-4 hours in a minivan solo to meet her mom and sister for a wedding ceremony in Pursat. She decided to stay with me and only attend the critical days because she didn't want to miss many school days.
🌬️ Chilly In The Cardamoms ⛰️
It's now winter in Cambodia, the dry season, and for several days it has been extremely windy and cold on the mountain, but the blue skies are a nice change from the landslides and constant rain. The river is already crystal clear and ankle deep in most places, with a few swimming holes remaining deep enough year round. Soon it will be fire season, where folks try and scorch the national park in order to illegally occupy more land, often melting the power lines in the process and causing blackouts.
Sreypov loves her orchids, and despite me not really understanding why people think flowers are beautiful, I made sure Srey-Yuu and I remembered to water spray the orchids daily. The extreme winds here often change in the blink of an eye, and occasionally your water stream gets sent right back into your face, kind of making you feel like a thirsty orchid momentarily.
New Tech Upgrades 📱
Although I've been busy with little time to post, I did recently get a secondhand iPhone 12, and the pictures in this post I think are the first ones not to be shot with my iPhone 8. I do notice a difference in picture quality, but I honestly still think my iPhone 8 is fine. Regardless of my feelings, Apple has determined it not to be worthy of future iOS updates and upgrades, and this is how I am forced to upgrade my phone every 4 years or so. I was pretty impressed with the night shot I took of the orchid, my old phone wouldn't have produced any shots this clear.
