At the start of the Oryza sativa season

The farmers have finished planting rice (Asian rice; Oryza sativa). From now on until the next few months, until the rice is ripe and can be harvested, all it takes is maintenance. Much hope depends on the success of those efforts. Hopefully there will be no floods that drown the rice fields or pests that harm farmers' businesses or other harmful things. So that at the end of the season everything comes as expected.

So, I made a visit to the rice fields to look for things that would be interesting to photograph.

For the planting season this time, this is my first visit which will be followed by other tours because the stretch of "green carpet" in the wide open nature, I must admit, is always beautiful in my eyes. Until then, the green carpet has turned into "a thick yellow carpet", which when exposed to the sun rising or setting will have such a stunning golden view!

As is well known, rice planting begins with planting rice seeds until the plants grow, which is called seedling and is ready for transplants.

Apparently, some are using seedling for other purposes. 🙂

There also appear some other wild growing.

It was interesting to me when I saw that there was grass growing in the cracks of the coconut tree bark. I thought it must be the wind that brought them there.

Something high up so that the sky is visible in the background.

Something creeps and blossoms on the ground.

And something with an insect on it.

While something else an insect and water droplets.

Or is it just with water droplets that have not been dried by the sun.

Towards the end of my visit to the rice fields, an incident occurred. A strong wind blew the branches of a tree, and hit a Swallowtail butterfly that was flying high there. It immediately fell down, and the accident made it difficult to fly. I immediately went to see the condition. The butterfly is indeed difficult to move and I give my hand for it to rest for a while to recover its strength. I suppose, it worked then, because after a few minutes, it flew back to the bushes, although it flew low and soon landed on the bushes.

The incident served as a happy closing part of my visit which I conclude with this photo.
