A day in Paddy field with my dad

When I back my hometown for Chinese New Year, I took a visit with dad to his friend's paddy field. It was a blessing cloudy day, most suitable day for out walking and take photo. It's amazing to see endless paddy field and enjoyed the warm wind. ^^

It sure know where to find food (steal the ripe paddy).
