Ten-Days' Tenant

Brother had to travel overseas for 10 days and left three 6-months' old kittens with our human.
At this age, felines are spunky and energetic. They kept our human very busy attending to their needs, cleaning as well as playing with them.

And they are absolute 'monkeys' as well!

Biotic Natural Resource Broom

Our human saw this male senior hiker sweeping fallen leaves on the slightly sloping ground to a corner and was intrigued by the small unusual broom he was holding.

He said he made it himself from fallen palm leaves. According to him, the broom sweeps well, even better than those purchased.

After sweeping, he would sit, listen to music on a mini radio while soaking in the green surroundings and fresh air.

The brown palm leaves on the ground were used to make the broom.

Star-Shaped Mushroom

This picture was taken a few months ago and our human has forgotten about it till some interesting fungi was sighted the last few days.

This Star-Shaped Mushroom was just beside the path next to a fallen rotting trunk.

Delicately Hanging!

Recent thunderstorms brought down many trees.
Our human saw this big broken branch and it looked like it was suspended in mid-air.

Wanting to show how big the branch was, our human placed the left hand as comparison and accidentally touched it softly.
That whole branch started swaying!
Our human quickly snapped this picture and ran off resulted in a rather blurred photo.

At a safe distance, our human stopped to see the picture to figure out how it was suspended.

Beautiful Monkeys/Langurs!

One early morning last week during the walk, our human was lucky to meet a troop of monkeys, probably a family.

These are dusky leaf monkeys, also known as Spectacled Langurs.

The brave one was in front while the others hid behind branches and leaves.

So happy to see them, our human stood still not moving a muscle and only looked up smiling (not grinning broadly for fear that it may be interpreted as a threat).

That brave one came down close to look, so close that our human could touch its long tail; still our human never moved.

It then leaped on to the next tree. One by one the rest of the troop leapt over our human sprinkling leaves, bits of bark and other stuff in the process.

Meeting them made our human's day!
