Lean On Me

Last month our human noticed this dead tree with a split trunk and will look at it whenever remembered passing by.

There were times our human stood at the base and stared, wondering how it still stands when you can see through the split trunk above.

It was then our human realised the dead tree was leaning upright on the adjacent tree and now wondered how long it will hold.

Monkey Visit

We are experiencing daily rainy days as it is monsoon season now.

After morning walks, our human had to rid the mud stuck to the shoe soles. Sometimes our human will pick up a small twig to scrap the mud off but most time to shorten the cleaning process, our humanl just clap the two soles together though it does not clean as efficient.

You know there are times when you felt being watched. Our human looked up and saw these two inquisitive monkeys looking and then came lower down to have a closer look. The rest of the troop were further up the tree.

An amused fellow hiker walked over to ask what our human and the monkeys were chatting about.

On seeing that hiker coming nearer, the monkeys scampered up and quickly moved on to other trees.

Our human could not snap the whole troop using the cellphone but there were eight in this picture.

Can you see them?

Now, our human wonders if these monkeys recognise our human?

Chameleon Forest Dragon

Our human stopped immediately on hearing something scampering beside the path and looked around.

It was not easy to know what it was. Our human felt being watched and continued eyeing around while standing absolutely still.

And then saw it!

Our human whispered, "Hey, beautiful, I want to take your photo. Can you pose for me please?"

Previously down, it slowly curled its tail up.

Can you see it was also sizing up our human?

Split Tree Trunk

Many times we fail to notice things near or beside us.

Our human did not notice that this dead slightly tilted tree trunk beside the path has split. It was the perfect timing when the morning sun illuminated it that our human saw.

And as you can see the path is no easy walk as hikers normally look down instead of up. The path ahead is dim as sunlight do not penetrate the thick forest canopy.

As we are now experiencing daily heavy rainfall; our human will remember this spot, move a little slower and to look not only down at the path but up as well.

You may never know, a broken branch may hang delicately above and fall anytime.

Elusive Photo Subject

Our human has met and seen skinks during morning walks but they are difficult to photograph because they are so quick on their little short legs.

On hearing some soft scuffle on leaves, our human stood still and looked around.

When our human slowly took the cellphone out, that skink scurried off; our human's eyes followed. Many photos were taken; most were blur and this was the best of the lot.
