The water droplets are too heavy

I have a pair of sharp eyes, that is why you are not able to hide yourself from me. I like a butterfly more than you, though both of you are from the same family. You look so ugly and bare the trees once you are there, so fast.

What have interested me more are the water droplets that are found on your tiny hairs. They are for sure not your tears, you have no reason to cry. What do you want to cry for?

It rained last night but you have yet to get rid of them until now. Do you enjoy the crystal-like adornment, or simply find no way to shake them off?

I think of you again when I am seeing this piece of grass. It starts to bend its body due to the gravity force. It cannot help but has to bend itself.

I am afraid that you will fall due to the gravity force, the water droplets maybe too heavy to you. That's nothing to do with Newton and his apple, but the law still applies.

Will you fall like a parachute?

Runaway Spider

I thought all animals hibernate in the winter time when I was a kid. It seems to be not right, not because I am a little wiser right now, only because I surf Internet a little more. Somehow I still don't know how is a spider in the winter.

I only understand those live at my place, at Cerok Tokun.

It looked like I had met another sleeping critter when I was seeing the zzzzzzzzzZZZZZZ in this very beautiful early morning. "Come on. What a waste to spend time sleeping."

I went to the "backyard" for a different view, but found myself feeling dizzy by the puzzle-like web, and had awakened the spider. It started to move downward, to run away from me in such a hurry and forgot to keep all the zzzzzZZZZZZ.

Did I look scary from his perspective? I thought the other way round.

I followed him all the way. I even tried to block him with a stick and managed to have a close up on him. You must agree that he looks more scary than me!!

I had to let him go away and disappeared in the grasses. A big guy like me should not bully a small critter.

Anyway, I was not left empty-handed. I have collected all the zzzzzZZZZZZ and would like to auction them in the Internet. Do you have any interest in them?

I found another squirrel

The Retired one is right. I have been influenced or mesmerized by Ratty. Right immediately after seeing the Plantain Squirrel, I saw a different species of squirrel again.

This was a real close encounter. I found him when I was wandering around near the dam. He stayed quietly behind a piece of rotten wood with his eyes closed, and be very safe by disguising himself very well as part of the wood. I wonder how I could see him as only his head was visible. He had never made any movement, not to mention even for a fast one.

When I reviewed through the pictures I had taken, it is ironically to say that I took only a few of his pictures in comparison to the countless clicking on the fast moving Plantain Squirrel. What a shame, anything that can be accessed easily by me are always not valued much.

Please say hello and see him a little bit longer before you leave. This can then make me feeling better because of my negligence.

I Smelled A Squirrel

I had been smelling you, Ratty. I did not know why until a squirrel created havoc right above me. It intended to catch my attention. It sure did. And my camera was always ready, but me not.

I hesitated as wanted to observe a little more about that little critter, but I then changed my mind and started countless clicking before the squirrel quickly move into the bushes.

I had been smelling you, I knew then it was solely because of the squirrel.

I thought my camera was ever ready, but I managed to frame only its silhouette. It was surely not a black squirrel as how I smelled you, though both smelled the same. The last glimpse from the corner of my eye told it was a Plantain Squirrel, the most common squirrel in Malaysia.

As I was too busy clicking blindly, I did not aware that this squirrel stared at me as how the black squirrel looked at you. They really did not know who we were although they do have good eyesight. Hah!! Those critters.

With the help of a long counterbalancing tail and those sharp claws, it went back very fast to where it was, but certainly not to your hard disk.

Since you had lost many of your squirrels from your corrupted hard disk, I optimistically think that I shall see some of them over here at Cerok Tokun. Wait and see.

Yellow Vented Bulbul

I failed to catch you many times before, but not this time. I was by chance to be at the back of you. My camera reacted, zoomed in and have you in my post now.

I was good enough to continue shooting. I had surely sneaked up on you like a cat.

But you turned your head back, and teased me, "Have you had enough of me?"

I was so wrong by then, somehow I had captured you for the first time.
