Sorry Sandman if you new my prowess on the pc and with pics (ask Buksi)
you would know how silly that sounds. Pic was taken from Hilton balcony and put onto disc and hard copy with lots of others in HH, this one was taken 7 minutes later.

Sam

said it with a smile mate Wink

y just hit lucky...thats one hell of a sunrise. Lovely colours and a perfect sky to pick em up...

Ive not been that lucky....sunrises are usually clear sky when Im down there...perhaps Ill give it a go in monsoon.

The best sunrise I ever saw was on the edge of the desert in Namibia where the cloudy wet seaboard sky met the desert......it looked like the whole sky was on fire...all the colours of the rainbow in there....

.. so good in fact that all three of us watching it were so entranced we forgot to take pictures Idea

DOH!

Last week in my garden, I was on my cell phone with a friend when I looked up and saw this little face staring at me. I have never seen anything like it and everyone I showed it to has been equally amazed. It is over an inch long and about 3/4 inches wide.

Note that it is a face either way you look at it.

I kept it in a jar for a couple of days and finally let it go.

Thought I would share it here.

I looked out into my garden the other morning and saw these two peacocks! Not native to Thailand and. . . we are not sure where they came from. They can fly very well and the male has obviously lost his tail. They seem to have adopted our village and we see them around often. Probably escaped from some hotel?

Further on the peacocks that have been visiting our village. . . .upon closer inspection ( I saw them several times today) these are most likely both females, that is . . . two peahens and not a "pair" of peacocks at all. (Not all that curious. .same sex pairs are very common in nature.) Maybe the males cant fly as well with all those feathers. Who knows?

P.S. Did you know that the Japanese discovered how to tell the sex of a chicken...? Quite a few people make a living out of it apparently...

Can't see the big deal myself, show me an elephant or a water buffalo, and I'll tell you if it's a bloke or a lass. Big fuss about nothing.

Think it's time I went to bed...
