Passiflora foetida

Origin South America and West India

This plant easily found everywhere. iTs fast growing shrub make it as one of our invasive species. It also become covering plant for rubber plantation area. It is a climber. Small and hard stems like wire. 3 area leaf like grape leaves and a a very strong smell if crushed. Flower white in color. Fruit edible when ripe. Fruit covering like some sort insect trapping plant but no scientific data shown that this plant insectivore.
it is one of my favorite plant when i was small kid.

Red wattled Lapwing

I manage to capture this lovely bird this afternoon. when the sun nicely shone to this grammy award winner. Why grammy award winner? because they're one of the best acting skill in bird world. Lapwing nested on the ground, aka no nest. they just drop the egg on the ground and put some pebble to make it more camouflage. Every time their enemy approach eg. monitor lizard, snake even macaq monkey they either pretend they have broken leg or broken wing to ensure their enemy will try chasing them and divert the direction furthur from the nest to safety. this is what i call The grammy award winner in bird world.

Threadtail Damselflies

Poison by my fren Mandy to shoot damselflies and dragonflies. Her description. "This damselfly is the Prodasineura laidlawii of the family Protoneuridae. Protoneuridae is a family of slender, delicate damselflies, with narrow, clean wings. This family of damselfly is also commonly referred to as Threadtails or Threadtail Damselflies, as you can see why..."

Fantastic Eyes.

Today i walk around my house looking for another subject to capture besides the common one. i bump into this cool insect. Look like the flies hover like bees. maybe hybrid.. heheh.. im sure its common one. Ive seen it somewhere in a book but didn't manage to recall. Btw enjoy.

Funny Yet Serious

I bump into this Orb Family( not sure what species) and manage to capture quite interesting picture. Look carefully. You may see clown face and unshave old man. hehe.. I dont think this spider poisonous but it do mean serious business. Nature always interesting to look at.

Morning treat

i wake up early this morning tying to catch some good picture of insect. No luck. All the same insect. but i do got few interesting picture to share. the first one are water droplet that for me so refreshing. 2nd one are closeup of "mirmosa pudica" flower. some people called it "Shy Princess", some call it "touch me not". "Ojigisaw" are the Japanese name. The most interesting part are the leaves that is sensitive to touch. This behaviour make them superior weed. Whenever grasshopper land they shut, so no grasshopper problems. when butterflies try to land to lay eggs, Butterflies cannot sit comfortably, no eggs no future caterpillar. The spikes around the stems are to prevent grazing animals. This is ultimate self defend in nature world. Eventhough this plant origin from Central America but they're sucessfully thrive here in Southeast Asia Regions.

Cheers..

Im having soo much fun playing with my new toy. Raynox lens. pair up with my 70-300mm walla.. amazing detail. Some good some not soo good . but the result always amaze me. im still learning though.

The Return Of..

Whoaaa. when i search around i didn't realize that i still have this blog. Not updated for 2 years. Im looking for new ideas and concept for my personal thought. Share with friends someting from my brain and my lens. And i think photography concept will be nice.

Im searcing serenity, peachfull life. No rush and i think i found one.. Langkawi. The green color of its paddyfield. The sound of the birds chirping around every morning and even the voice of my neighbour shoouting to her sons to behave well make me smile everyday. Soo good..

For anybody who read this please dont bother with my broken and terrible english.. just sharing..

Cheers..
