I'm not moving anywhere just yet.
However, there are lots of planning and preparation.
I wish I am living a much simpler life which allows moving a lot easier.

Kerrie : If I pull this rope at the right time, those elephants will trip...

Anna : The Thinker by Monsieur Jungle (Rodin's Sculpture)

Daine : Elephant 1 : There is something on your back, Honey.

Elephant 2 : I see something on your back too. Shall I get rid of it for you dear?

Anna : Learning the Ropes.

I want to thank everyone who contributed to the captions and comments too.

Below are 2 new images.
These are wasps which stung me because I accidentally pruned away their nest.
I considered fixing the nest back but it was impossible.
Sorry wasps.
If you are interested to know, the wasps' stings hurt quite badly but the pain only lasted for about 5 minutes.
It's a small price to pay considering that their next generation may be lost due to my carelessness.

Sent in your captions for these last 2 images.
Selected ones would be posted next Monday with links to your blogs.
Have a jolly week!
By the way, you may want to look beneath the leaves before pruning.

Krabi, Thailand

2011-12-22T17:56:00.001+08:00

Below are some photos I took in Thailand recently.

Although the first 6 photos were taken at the Tiger Cave temple, there aren't many signs of the temple as I have little interest in buildings and statues.

While I was admiring this little girl who waved at me, a stray dog gave me a fright by licking my arms. I thought that action rather strange and quickly went off to clean myself. I hope I didn't hurt the dog's feelings.

There were many stray dogs, monkeys, cats, pigeons and even chicken. I didn't go inside the temple nor took the 1000 steps that lead to another temple up the mountain. Come to think of it, I might as well have visited a farm. But I do enjoy the encounters.

One man chained a puppy near the vicinity of the temple. He wanted to pet the puppy but the latter probably growled at him out of fear. That angered the man who shouted and was about to whack the pup. Almost immediately, a dog dashed forward from across the street and bowed its head in front of the man. That man ended up petting the dog's head instead and forgave the pup. I could have taken snapshots of the sequence of events on camera but didn't think it was appropriate. I feel amazed with how the dog dissipated anger instantly without words. Most people react towards anger with more anger. The dog just bowed.

The two photos above were taken at the Emerald Pool.

The water is very clear, GREEN and filled with beautiful fishes but it is too slippery to walk.

We were told that there are quicksands nearby so we did not venture around.
This pool itself is very unique and I think if you are nearby, you should visit.
We visited the hot spring which isn't as beautiful but it was amazing that there were many small natural tubs like 'jacuzzi' with warm running water at 50 degree Celsius.
It also came with sulphur which is supposedly good for the skin.

These boats were seen near the hotel we stayed.
There are many beautiful islands out there.
We didn't island hop but visited the shops along the beach.

This is what I found in one of the shops.
I don't know what it was doing there but it was definitely not for sale.
Krabi isn't about dogs but about beautiful islands, friendly people, elephant rides, crystal clear natural pools and good food.
I better end this post with some nice flowers I took from the hotel because it may appear to be 'dog-sided' at the moment.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays in advance!

Thank you for all your caption contributions.
According to Sean, the birds above are called Asian Glossy Starling.
Sean, thank you for the identification.
I had thought they were the babies of the Asian Koels because these small birds appeared together with the male and female Asian Koels on my fig tree.
In the photo above, they were on a champaka tree.

For those who are keen to know, the bigger insect below is a hornet while the smaller one is a moth.
They were both drinking nectar from the longan flowers harmoniously.
No bloodshed was found at the scene.

Stewart M : My biology teacher told that me a wasp mimic would keep me safe - I have a feeling he got it wrong!

Bananaz : What else can you do beside mothballing?

Bom : Oof! I need to lose weight. So much easier to get to the top when you are small and light.

One : Strangely, the pairing of orange and black dominates the runway these days.

Jungle Trekking on an Elephant

2011-12-09T19:44:00.001+08:00

One of the highlights in Krabi, Thailand is the Jungle Trekking on an Elephant.

Not only do one get to enjoy the beautiful scenery without exerting any physical effort, the swaying rhythm of the elephant felt good too.

Below are some scenes taken from the top of a swaying elephant.

We started the journey by passing through a rubber plantation.

The foot was used to maneuver the elephant.

My daughter kept asking me if our weight hurt the elephant.

She has a point and I must admit that we human do sometimes take advantage of animals.

However, the elephants were huge and strong and I hope they enjoyed the occasional snacking of foliage during the walk.

Apparently the mountain above is called the Tiger Cave because a tiger stayed there for 37 years.

How did I know?

Look who's talking!

(This photo was taken at the Tiger Cave Temple)

I love the calm and serene look of the lake during the walk.

The 9 month old elephant is being trained at a tender age to follow its mother's footsteps.

Mother and child were given a shower immediately after the one hour walk.

They were given special treatment.

The baby is tied to the mother as it has attempted to run away before.

Mother and child left after the shower.

I am glad the trainer treated them well.

The sharp tool the trainer is holding was not used to hurt the elephants.

(We had our fears and imagination.)

Those were the tools used to clear the bushes that we passed through during the elephant ride.

Accidental Bird Captures

2011-11-29T08:37:00.001+08:00

So far, I have posted more photos of lady birds than birds.
Dragonflies smile in front of my camera but birds flee from it.
When I brought my camera to the lake for the purpose of shooting ducks, I was pleasantly surprised to encounter some birds along the way.

I consider the following photos as accidental bird captures since they weren't planned for.

The above yelllow-bellied sunbird was drinking nectar from a fire cracker bloom but perched on a ficus tree, looking wary when it noticed me.

This magpie robin has just swallowed an earthworm.

This pigeon was on the road alone looking lost.
I saw 2 adults like the one above with a baby in between, having a picnic in the park early this morning.
It was a cute scene but I didn't have my camera with me.

Although I see this tree kingfisher often, it has not gotten any friendlier over time.
Perhaps I could show you some action shots of this bird diving down to catch little critters sometime in the future.
Currently all birds fly off about 5 seconds after they notice the camera or me.

This is a sparrow which is trying to rescue my wax jambu tree from being eaten up by worms.
The photo has accidentally turned out to be monochrome because someone has adjusted the settings of the camera.
When I turned back the settings, 5 seconds has lapsed so we shall have to bear with this accidental black and white shot.

Please visit GardenWalkGardenTalk for more interpretations of 'Accidental' or World Bird Wednesday for more bird captures.

Love and Anger

2011-11-25T09:14:00.001+08:00

These ducks are taking a stroll down the path.

I posted a bunch of excited ducks which dashed in every direction and never seem to pause.

Today, I am sharing the calm ones which are found at a different lake.

Instead of chasing after me like the ones I met last week, this one actually fell asleep while observing me.

An expressive duck showed me its LOVE in its own way above.

There seem to be a peaceful and serene atmosphere.

I believe these ducks are well fed, leading to their calm behaviour.
Then suddenly the atmosphere changed!
Two brown ducks dashed forward angrily to attack a white one...

As you can see in the 3 photos above, the brown ducks attacked and pecked out some white feathers.
I wanted to interview them to find out the reason for their sudden outburst but my daughter chased the brown ducks away to avoid further loss of feathers.

The victim seem fine and still look pretty in the landscape.

Back to peace and tranquility.
A little bit of anger and violence added some excitement.
Imagine a sandwich made of 2 pieces of love and a tiny bit of anger in between.
That's how things appear to be.
There is always the calm before the storm, followed by calm again.

Have a splashing weekend!

Duck Photography with No Tips

2011-11-18T10:36:00.001+08:00

I must admit I love taking photos of animals.

I love to see their expressions; sometimes humorous, sometimes touching or just plain amusing.

I took these photos at the lake in Setia Ecopark where the Sales and Marketing office is.

I love to capture them; 1 in a frame, 2 in a frame, 3 in a frame...

I particularly like to see them peeping out of the bushes.

I was at Garden Walk Garden Talk a few minutes ago and found that she has furnished lots of bird photography tips.

Apparently she acquired some of her skills from Galen Leeds Photography.

If you are looking for Bird Photography tips, click on their links above.

Over here, I'm just sharing some fun photos of ducks.

I like to see a group of ducks facing the same direction as if they are in a mission together.
They seem to be full of determination.

I find those eyes really cute.
They look serious yet filled with uncertainty considering the change in direction every few seconds.

It gets interesting when they suddenly turn to stare at me.

It gets even more exciting when they chased after me.
I thought I should 'snap and run' but I extended my hand instead and got pecked.
It didn't hurt though.

I thought they look cute from behind too.

Come to think of it, I like them in any number and in any position.
I like the fact that they cannot keep still.

I hope you have enjoyed my Duck Photography with No Tips.

Texture & Pattern

2011-11-16T08:56:00.000+08:00

The Word for Wednesday that Donna of Garden Walk Garden Talk is hosting this week is 'Texture and Pattern'.

Since everything is with texture and pattern, the difficulty here is to limit the length of this post.
I do not intend to limit to texture and pattern found in my garden alone.

There were many huge ferns plants at the highlands which I visited a few days ago.
I find the patterns to these unfurling fern fronds rather captivating and am posting 6 photos of them.

Below are the soft texture of the grass on the highlands and wavy patterns formed by the mountains.

Back at home, I continued my quest to look for more texture and pattern.

As soon I picked up the camera, the furry texture below, demanded to tag along as he loves to be outdoors.

Out of all the captures, I think the highlight of today is this blue feathery friend.

It is such a delight to see a White-throated Kingfisher having a feast in my garden!
To be honest, this is a regular visitor but it maintains its distance so we had to get a zoom lens.

The above is a collage of some of the textures I see around me.
Notice that my first few passion fruits shall be ripe soon?

Do head over to Garden Walk Garden Talk for an INFORMATIVE post of 'Texture and Pattern'.
Enjoy others' takes on this theme or join us with your own interpretation.

Anything for Bananas

2011-11-09T17:57:00.002+08:00

The new born silvered leaf monkey differs considerably from the adults as it has orange fur, white face, hands and feet.

Its skin changes to black within days of birth.

The babies love to suck thumbs and fingers just like human babies.

It takes about 3 months for the orange fur to turn to black.

These monkeys live in groups but obviously the brown one is just a passer-by.

The females help one another out with their offspring.

For a moment, I thought highly of such a helpful guardian.

We were told that bananas is their favourite food although they eat many other things like long beans, peanuts and bread too.

Despite the struggling and squealing of the baby, its guardian threw the baby down when she saw someone offering bananas.

The monkeys were hungry because not many tourists have been feeding them during the raining season.

However, it was no excuse to let the baby fall from 3 feet high.

Its mother quickly came to the rescue...

...and had to give her 'friend' a real dirty look!

I hope the baby didn't suffer brain damage.

Never trust a hungry monkey who would do anything for bananas.

After reading Donna's comment below, I'll add that these monkeys are living in the wild on a historical hill which is called Bukit Melawati.
This small peak was once a mighty fortress built in the 17th century to safeguard the state from Dutch forces.
I am adding the photo below to show you how the monkeys live.
Thank you for the good question, Donna.

I Have Been Framed

2011-11-04T10:02:00.000+08:00

I can't help amusing myself with photos and silly thoughts.

Goldee was resting comfortably among the flowers and ground cover when she suddenly felt trapped.

She thought she could have been framed.
See the looks in her eyes above.

I assured her that I was only using her lovely golden fur to frame the flowers.

When one is worried, one loses focus.
It seems that she has forgotten her intention to sleep.

If you enjoy these silly little photo stories, visit 'Words in Pictures' in my other blog; Tropical Nature Photos.

I intend to post 'Words in Pictures' daily in that blog for 30 days as a challenge for myself.
Do I have the photos and words ready?
Definitely not.
I have no clue what I shall be posting next.
I must not worry as worries might cause me to lose focus.
Breathe in, breathe out...

Have a great weekend!

Ephemeral

2011-11-01T17:31:00.003+08:00

Ephemeral is the chosen word for Word for Wednesday at Garden Walk Garden Talk.
It means lasting for a short time.

Hibiscus flowers only last for one day but the plant itself is hardy, where I live.

Sneak peek of a yellow cosmos above.

The cosmos flowers are in abundance now but these plants shall only last a few more weeks.

Flowers whisper "Beauty!" to the world even as they fade, wilt , fall. - Dr SunWolf

When the cosmos plants have finally hit the compost pile, I shall come to this blog to see the buds and blooms and the many variety of critters that have been brought about.

I accidentally bumped into a chameleon above the cosmos plants and screamed.
Obviously, I frightened the poor creature away.
The encounter was really ephemeral since I only had a glimpse of the chameleon.
I must have sounded quite terrifying.
I hope the terror was ephemeral for the chameleon.

See the twinkle?
What are ephemeral are made less ephemeral now since I have recorded them here.
Thanks to Donna.

Oleander Hawk Moth Caterpillar

2011-10-27T18:06:00.000+08:00

There are some very chubby caterpillars with blue eye-liners on my periwinkle plants.
They are the Oleander Hawk Moth Caterpillars.

These green caterpillars have 2 big blue eye-spots that make them look bigger than they really are.
The purpose of these eye-spots are to scare away possible predators.

From observation, when the caterpillar is 'startled', its blue eyes widen abruptly, even a human being would back off.
I certainly did.
My dog startled the caterpillar by walking through the periwinkle plants and that action brought about a domino effect.

By the time, I decided to capture its large scary eyes and gotten near to the caterpillar again, it looked grumpy instead.

This caterpillar is green, blending well with the surroundings and often go unnoticed.
Since they are slow and soft-bodied, they need to camouflage to protect themselves from predators.

It has 3 pairs of jointed legs with hooks attached to its thorax.

It has another 5 pairs of stumpy legs on its abdomen.

The caterpillar has powerful jaws and spends most of its time eating.
It holds on to the food with its thoracic legs.
This particular one is chewing off the leaves of a periwinkle plant.

I observed that the caterpillars start their meal from the top of a plant, working downwards before moving on to another.
That only makes sense.
Imagine if it were to start eating from the bottom, it will be exposed by the time it reaches the top with no leaves to protect it.

Below are some caterpillar poop.

I must admit that these pellets look very interesting to me.

There are constant transformation in these caterpillars.

Notice the mouthpiece?
It was round before and then became pointed.
It changes from green to brown.

This caterpillar is about to transform into a chrysalis.
It is lying horizontal now and is on its way towards the ground.
It has been raining daily, I hope it doesn't drown.

Goodbye!
I may never see this again since it will be transforming to a moth that only appears at night.
