Our family guests departed today, but we had a lot of fun in the few days they were here, with most of the time being spent in the river and creeks.
Healing Waters 🌊
It is nice to see others enjoying the nature and surroundings here in the Cardamom Mountains. It was all smiles, along with an occasional shreak to help adjust to the chilly waters.
Two neighbor girls are quickly becoming our responsibility from the afternoon until evening. They're good playmates for our daughters, but it's sad to see their parents aren't putting in the effort.
Real Homies ✌️
Srey-Yuu is nearly a teenager now, and she doesn't always want to play when Monkey-B does. Luckily these neighbor girls are always ready for adventure, and always keeping an eye out for any movements towards the river.
That's Our Home Up There 🛖
When I took the above shot, I didn't plan to frame our cabin in the background, but it was a nice coincidence. I may very well save this photo for Airbnb pics.
Every time we explore, my wife likes to pose for shots, and in this one she is either introducing nature or Monkey-B, you decide.
And here we have another epic mom and daughter shot, aquatic memories in the making.
Reflections 🪞
A puddle of water on the top of a rock is a good opportunity for reflective shots, and the sight of the trees in the puddle caught my attention.
I was trying to get some moss shots while this background scenery perfectly synced up, husband and wife giving each other a helping hand.
Staying with the theme of reflections, I kept shooting more pics with the humans in the background.
Not Far From Home 🔍
The descent from the cabin to the river is a long and steep one, but once we climb up the creek high enough, we're nearly level with it.
Hard to believe all these natural wonders are in our backyard, so I give thanks every day for this opportunity.
Balance ⚖️
Once everyone is completely chilled out and ready for hot drinks, the journey back home usually involves avoiding the water, and this means a lot of balancing is required to navigate the log bridges.
Those unwilling to risk a fall from the logs wade the creek back to the main river.
Action 🎬
Everytime we explore the creeks and return to the river to wade across, the river magically seems warmer than before. The river is actually a pleasant temperature after an hour in the breath-robbing chilly creek water. My wife rejoiced with some ceremonial splashing, then immediately was swept off her feet and nearly washed downstream.
She even went as far as beaching herself on a submerged boulder, then asked me to take some shots of her pretending to swim, and of the four shots I took, the above one looks the most genuine.
After heading back up the hill and giving the river a break, I nearly walked into this black and yellow spider. Luckily I didn't, and since I didn't accidentally destroy the web, I snapped a pic. Okay, that's all for now from Steung Kach folks, it's far too late at night and time for bed.
