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..

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..

The first walk with Irshad

1st Jun 2007

Waking up in the middle of the darkness, (hmm.. 6.00am is still too early for me since the previous job i need to wake up around 6.30am to 7.00 am hahaha... ) get prepared and tucked in the guts and ready to face the first experience of the major 2nd job. The feeling? excited , anxiety, nervous mix up together blended making a cup of butterfly in my stomach. The same feeling of 3 years ago when i start my job as outdoor trainer with Halim Mazmin group. Arrive at Irshad house i waited.. waited and waited......( am i late ?? )then after 10 min Sri appear. (Sri is irshad's wife!). "Morning Madi... You are early!!" warm and friendly greet from her with the accent of indonesian english. Irshad appear and greet me with friendly smile. Without wasting any time i jump into his 4 x4 toyota hilux and we went to The Datai Hotel...

Arrive there the welcoming sign are from the dusky leaf langgurs (pic) with their anxious look. They making such a symphatic noise like crying. Theres few of them and suddenly we spot a baby monkey aged less than 1 year crying and screaming. It just the turning black. ( baby langgurs are orange color). We realize that the langgurs are going to cross the road using the trees with the last branch nearly open for 4 feet and the height around 11 feet. The group already at the other side of the road. Crying and preparing to jump, we wait...wait... and hah........ the baby langurs make it....AMAZING. ..

" If compared to human world is nearly same as asking your 2 years old children crossing the highway alone" say Irshad.
