Twisted!

Vines climb, sometimes beautifully and artfully.
During morning walks, at times our human seek them out to appreciate their artistic climbs.

Tightly twisted like rope.

Beautiful loops.

An old vine covered with green lichen with our human's shoe for comparison. Our human saw this about 15 years ago and visits it off and on. It is off the path and our human is not telling where.

PS: Update on 'Lost Soul'!
On way home walking downhill, our human heard some noise behind and turned round. A pack of stray dogs was following. Among them, one dog had that 'Lost Soul' in his mouth. With that in his mouth, that dog trotted happily like he had the most treasured toy in the world. Our human wanted to capture that scene but by the time the handphone was taken out and camera mode switched on, 'Lost Soul' was no where to be seen.
Perhaps that dog could sense our human's intention and hid it!

Lost Soul?

On one morning walk, our human encountered this and wondered.

Some hiker lost his soul...oops, sole!

Now this is food for thought; why didn't that hiker turn back to retrieve it?

Mooncake

This kitty's name is Mooncake.

Our human realises why it is named so.

Look at that sweet round face and rotund body, just like a mooncake!

Notice those earnestly intent eyes, Mooncake must have seen a bird flying low nearby...

...and meowed in frustration when it realised it was beyond its capability to reach it.

Do you think Mooncake needs to go on a diet?

Mooncake lives in Toronto and belongs to our human's nephew.

Hardworking Beetle

Our human felt something small moving in front during morning walk, stopped immediately, looked around and saw this little beetle in the middle of the path hard at work struggling to move a round object larger than its body.
It was a dung beetle moving monkey dung.

Though it took some time, our human waited till that dung beetle slowly rolled the dung to the side of the path before continuing walking.
Our human felt lucky to have witnessed such show of effort, determination and perseverance.
