During the last two months, I've tried to keep tab on my activities and it shows I have spread myself too thin that there isn't any significant achievement to point towards. Wanting to know a little about everything and ending up not knowing a lot about something - that's simply me.
Every now and then, I always try to find an opportunity to enjoy the atmosphere outdoors and free myself from my subconscious which does keep me hooked beyond imagination.
Don't spread yourself too thin or you will become invisible.

Few minutes on the road and it's just me and my shadow taking a walk. Thoughts on the quote about becoming invisible; Am I or were other people? I could at least see myself but not them. Anyways, the trees around kept company by waving their hi's and byes as I walked past.
The plans for the day was to check out a maize farm about 3km from the hostel and probably harvest those matured enough for roasting later in the evening. Eventually, I was unable to get there because my eyes caught on something else along the way:
A Fish Farm
I've always wanted to have one but the issues of pollution and waste discharge in urban areas is not something to be taken lightly. So, that want of mine had been discarded temporarily in favor of a snail farm which I'm working towards. Maybe a post on that someday.
After taking permission from the owner, I was granted access to have a look around. Commercialized fish ponds are usually concrete tanks with fitted water inlets and drainage system. For some reasons, earthen ponds were dug here and used to cater for the adult fishes. There were about 5 of those ponds and the fish variety available in them was Catfish. The nurseries for fries and juveniles were done in a building under controlled conditions.
Below is an image of the fishes in a feeding frenzy when a handful of fish feeds were given. Sorry for the poor image quality, I had to extract that off a video taken.
