We have several trees started in the garden...one is already setting fruit. This one is not in our garden, but the large fruit was given to us by Na's generous cousin.

There is no doubt the little cameras in Smartphones are getting more capable.
In decent conditions there take quite good images. This is an attempt, in not ideal conditions, to make a macro shot of a small butterfly...it turned out rather better than I had expected. This is the rather pretty flower of the succulent, Euphorbia milii (aka crown of thorns, Christ plant, Christ thorn). We also have a blood red one and a creamy white one in the garden. Most homes in up-country Thailand have at least one of these plants.
Our adolescent Pit Bull, Toby, loves to play with the five 4 weeks old puppies of Spot...he is gentle, and has toned down his normal boisterous behaviour to suit their relative fragility. Spot was initially very protective, but now gives Toby full access to the pups.
A drama at Bangkok Port in the Chao Phraya river...it is rumoured that there was a need for a cash injection, and so the Marine Insurance company was invited to assist.
...disguised as a garden light! We cannot be too careful in these days of transhumanism and the interconnectedness of everything!
Australia's Giant Kingfisher...aka Jackass...aka Kookaburra...possesses one of the World's great birdcalls.
The enormous outdoor mural at Wat Pho, by the Chao Phraya river in Bangkok, requires continuous refreshing, so here is the team at work.
Some will recall that a team from Australia was first to wrest the Americas Cup for Yachting from the USofA, who had failed to give it up in about 100 years. Some say it was superior sailing skills. Others say it was the controversial keel design on the Australian vessel...its end cap had two shapely tips!
Now...I may be wrong...I suspect the yacht team held their design sessions at a resort on the Isle of Phi Phi in the South of Thailand...it is just possible a pimply assistant designer was gazing out to the beach scene through the window of their comfortable meeting room, and noticed the twin keels on this Thai Mermaid just as the head designer was saying something like "We really need to put our minds to work on the design of a keel cap that will give us an advantage and excite half the World's sapiens". |
