Back Story ...................
.
OK, I know a lot of you want some updated info on the political situation here in Thailand.
Things have been happening at a very fast pace.Large stashes of weapons and bombs are being discovered nearly everyday.
The daily shootings and grenade attacks have stopped for the most part due to the Coup.
A few hundred politicians and their cronies have been brought in for a friendly chat with the military.
As of this mornings news 5 Trillion Baht $ is missing from the gov coffers.Divide that by 30 to get a close count in US Dollars.
Three million tones of rice is missing from the gov warehouses.
This number is expected to keep rising as the investigation continues.
.
Number #1 wife and I are doing fine, that goes for all the dogs as well.
.
The early heavy rains have brought in a bumper crop of frogs which also brings in a large amount of snakes.
Needless to say Mr Monkey Boy With No Brain 4 Thinking has been very busy fighting Cobras on a daily basses.Sometimes 2-3 times a day ! ...;-(
.
This morning I left at daybreak heading for the monkey temple. The sound of thunder was quite loud but the sky was semi clear.
So I took off anyway.
Zipping down the main road there was a pickup truck about 60+ feet in front of me traveling at the same speed, about 45-mph.
All of the sudden he slams on his brakes. Locking my arms I too slammed on my brakes. Stuff went flying off to the side in front of the truck as I headed for the shoulder of the road.
Instantly I see a motorcycle with a man still attached to the saddle and his head bouncing on the pavement leaving a blood trail.
FYI--- He was Not Wearing a Helmet !!!
Car brakes were locking up all around us, my first reaction was to dismount and give first aid.
At the same instant the truck that had rear ended the bike started to take off. I had to make a quick decision and make it fast !
Knowing there was plenty of people to help the injured rider and a hospital only minutes away I took off in pursuit of the hit an run truck.
.
My little 125cc was wide open, maybe reaching 70+mph. Flying down the road in hopes of getting a photo of his license plate.
The wild man driving the truck was weaving in an out of traffic and gaining distance on me so another decision was made.
I backed off !
It was clear at this point chasing him was a lost cause and now I'm putting not only myself but others is serious jeopardy.
If I had not gone after him I would feel guilty, but at least I gave it some effort. I wish the motorcycle rider well.
.
30 minutes later and about 400 meters from the monkey temple I round a curve and spot this little old farmer dragging what I first thought was a pipe covered with mud or something?.
I know him and his friends as most every trip out they are standing by the road an we wave, smile and nod to each other .
It became clear once I was much closer this was no pipe covered with mud.
Dismounted pulled out the D300 and started shooting.
He was so excited the white man that feeds the dogs had stopped to document his new prize.
This is a 4-5 meter python with 2 chickens inside it's belly.
He will skin it and sell the hide for belts, the meat will be eaten and the 2 chickens inside it's belly will be used for fish bait, nothing left unused.
After we had a big laugh and photos were taken we said our good byes & I continued on to feed the temple dogs.
.
They were, as usual very excited and hungry, all is well ...;-)

my selection of photos of the beautiful Python Pool, tucked away in the Chichester Ranges, Pilbara, West Australia (taken soon after sunrise). The perfect reflection in the small pool of the two huge rock walls was stunning, creating quite an imposing and timeless image.
Another shot of the beautiful young Royal python, who was one of my favourites on the day. Taken on a photography day with CaptiveLight in Bournemouth.
Having a nice snooze in the sun.
"Coastal carpet pythons are aptly named, as they occur along most of the east coast of Australia. They are very commonly kept in captivity and have a variety of appearances and sizes.
The Carpet Python diet consists mainly of small mammals, bats, birds and lizards. Carpet Pythons are not venomous. Instead, they kill their prey by constricting (squeezing) it until it suffocates."
This carpet python was being harassed by a Currawong
(flic.kr/p/i2LBqe ) in Les Atkinson Park at Sunnybank, and eventually I decided not to get too close, as it was obviously a bit distressed. Eventually it slithered away.
Python bivittatus
A young adult male found on the crawl on a brutally hot and humid morning in extreme south Florida. This snake was an unexpected surprise while checking a trap line for other invasive species and is only the second python I've seen this year.
Receiving a phone call telling me there is a beautiful snake a few hundred metres from my doorstep was bound to be the start of a goo evening..This is a Carpet python (Morelia spilota) from Smithfield, Queensland, what a great looking snake!

This python was sunning itself up high in a tree at "The Polish Place" Mount Tamborine. I thought snakes hibernated in winter? photo was taken on our shortest day of the year.
A large female Burmese Python (Python bivittatus) in the 10-11 foot range captured during a night survey in Everglades National Park. A second individual just a little further down the road while this snake was being captured.

Albino Burmese python (Python mulurus bivittatus) native to Burma, Vietnam and Thailand, considered one of the 6 biggest snakes in the world. They come in a staggering array of colors and patterns. This is arguably the most popular and attractive variation, bright orange and yellow, against a stark white background.
I held this one for a photo shoot but the snake had other ideas. Its head moved downwards and I could feel the contractions as the python moved. Pure muscle! I strained hard to keep it where it was for a few seconds for the photo to be taken. At Davao Crocodile Park, Philippines.

Python bivittatus
A gorgeous adult found crossing a forest road on a cool November night amid a flooded pine forest in south Florida. Pythons usually prefer freshwater marsh, but can be found in virtually any habitat in the Everglades. This is the lightest colored python I've seen, it was absolutely gorgeous.
The slide was never going to be the most popular ride at the funfair but on a cold damp night stuck at the end of all the other rides no matter how brightly lit is was it still looked lost
One of the many highlights from my trip to Australia over Christmas were the various reptiles we saw. Aside from the small lizards and monitors, we saw 3 species of snake as well: Carpet Python, Tree Snake and Red-bellied Black.
We spotted this huge Carpet Python after hearing a branch snap while walking along a creek. It must have been about 2 metres long and wasn't bothered by us photographing it.
I will be uploading some more photos from my trip over the coming days and weeks so make sure you check back to see them!
