Near the entrance of Balinsasayao Nature Park is a body of water that, although smaller than Lakes Balinsasayao and Danao, is no less beautiful.
Kabalin-an pond has a charm of its own with the trees growing out of the waters giving it an enchanted look.
Around the pond are small huts and picnic tables that visitors can rent.
Boulders litter the place and some have odd formations. Bee, who is proving to have more imagination than I do, calls this the rhinoceros:
This one she calls the turtle.
There is a small wharf at the edge of the pond, as one can take a boat ride around Kabalin-an.
Colorful flowers could be found growing around the place and as Bee was having fun taking pictures of them, I decided to take pictures as well.
The sun was setting as we left the Nature Park, and I think our trip back to the city was faster than our trip up the mountain. Apart from gravity, I am guessing another reason is that Mang Danny wanted to be out of the mountain road before dark as the way is not lighted at night and may be dangerous.
