travel



Details of a travellers palm, left shows the inner structure
when a branch is lopped. I was thinking about how, in our
familiar landscape, we notice the trees & whatever is around
on an almost daily basis, & then can choose the best time
to photograph it, while we mostly depend on chance,
while travelling.
I'll be away for a month, probably won't be posting,
please return then.

growing



The young water dragon top left sits on the same spot every
afternoon, I think he waits for the house lights to attract
his dinner. A red dragon fly right.





The adult water dragons look quite fearsome, but can be
almost tame, they appear to have a regular territory.
One used to share my neighbours cat's food.

as tall


There's a giant flower growing from a sharp leaved plant
(perhaps a yucca?) beside the flagpole at the local RSL,
its as tall as the flag. I've noticed several plants that seem
to mimic a man-made artifact, like a street light~
it's very amusing.
Oh, & see that grey spot top centre? A week before I leave
my camera has developed a problem, there's no time
to get it fixed. Better now than there, I guess.

hearts


I took one cloud heart today, but only to check my camera,
it's definitely developed a fault, & at an inconvenient time.
There's no time for a repair, but there
is time to do something, don't know what, yet.
These above are from other days/years.

klongs




On the way to Nepal I'll have a couple of days in Bangkok.
This time I'd like to explore more of the klongs
& some of the temples on the other side of the river.
I wonder how much the old wooden houses were
damaged by the floods, some looked quite frail already.

yangtze




I went down the Yangtze about 1982, there were
a few other foreigners on the boat, from Chungking to
Shanghai, & lots of chinese, it was deadly hot by Wuhan.
I'd wanted to go to Dunhuang, but couldn't face the heat
How many more people since then?
