The little honeybees tend to be more aggressive than their bigger cousins, so there will soon be a change of occupancy.

Honeybee, laden with pollen on its back legs, about to land on a bloom to see if it can stack a bit more pollen/nectar onto its load before returning home.
Frangipani bloom in the swimming pool.
Surface tension creates a lens effect around the flower, and creates an interesting halo from the grout patterns in the tiled pool bottom. There is a moat around one of the merit-making buildings at Wat Dan. The moat is full of various kinds of Japanese Khoi, and they create interesting patterns in the reflections when their vigorous movements disturb the water surface.
Despite being illegal activity, cockfighting continues to be widely practiced throughout Thailand. Generally the winner is declared as soon as one contestant becomes non-combative, so there is seldom any serious injury to the birds.
This is part of a mural on a retaining wall at Wat Dan in Bangkok. I always have difficulty reconciling the direct relationship between the temples and the Lottery ticket vendors. At most temples there are a few Lottery agents just outside the main gate...at Wat Dan there are none at the main gate, but I found this one taking shelter under a shade roof right next to a merit-making building.
I suppose some merit-makers are feeling euphoric aka lucky after having made merit, and so seek to take advantage of this with a potential win from lucky numbers... It is a little early in the year, yet, but here is a sign in Bangkok skies that the Monsoon is beginning to stir. I am looking forward to evening skies like this on a daily basis.
Its all about marketing...some folks are more attracted to pink eggs...a quick dip in a solution containing vegetable dye will help move the product along the consumer path!

The metred taxis are rather colourful, too. 95% of metred taxis in Thailand are Toyota Corollas, and 70% of them have manual transmissions. |
