Because I only had one full day in New York I took back to back Hop On Hop Off Buses. Some of the images are not very good as the bus would go over bumps etc,.I have kept them in as memorises of the day. I only got off the bus once so most of the photos were taken as we were travelling along. Sadly I just didn't have time to have a good walk around.
I woke to a lovely sunny day and not too cold with around 16c. As the day went on it clouded over a bit and cooled down. November 7, 2018 USA.
If you go trekking in Malaysia, you will be disappointed by the wildlife... it is advertised a lot, tigers, leopards, elephants, snakes... but you bearly seen anything of these, fortunately because if fact you don't want to be face to face with a tiger.
So basically, each time you go out in the jungle you mainly see trees, ferns, lianas... vegetables.
Fortunatly, there are plenty of insects! Ants, spiders, flies, leeches, bugs and butterflies... those are beautiful, colorful, flying without rest from leave to leaves. Althought it is not easy to capture with the camera, the do rest some times.
This butterfly is one of the most common of Malaysia and all South East Asia, the Common Crow. Here is a small description of what you can find on the web about this butterfly:
Males are often seen imbibing moisture from patches of damp ground. They also visit decomposing fruit on the forest floor, and in Sri Lanka I have seen clusters of males feeding on juices exuded by dead snakes. Females are more commonly seen when nectaring, and have a strong preference for the flowers of Lantana.
At dusk the butterflies gather together in communal roosts - typically of a dozen or so will cluster together, hanging from twigs in semi-shaded situations. In the dry season, aestivating roosts of a hundred or more butterflies can sometimes be found along dry river courses in forested habitats.

Because I am using Elite Chrome, everything on my other cross-processed pics was blue-greenish, except where there was a bright pop of red. So I slapped on some red lipstick for an impromptu photo-shoot to see what I would look like cross-processed!
Because I had to work Christmas morning once again, Eric, Colette, and I got up EARLY to open presents and spend some time together before I had to head out. This year, Santa decided to make things interesting by introducing a new member to our family. She waited patiently (or not so patiently) outside Colette's door for her to wake and come let her out of her (well-ventilated) box. Unfortunately though, the exhausted five-year-old just would not stir. So, the similarly exhausted parents dragged themselves out of bed to raise Colette's awareness to a strange meowing sound coming from a box left just outside her door. To Colette's surpise, the meowing inside the box turned out not just to be any kitty, but a real live one. Soon, Colette overcame her own zombie state (while her parents very quickly descended into one) and was able to open the remainder of her presents. Although, the presence of the new kitty made it difficult for her to express much interest in any of the other many gifts Santa brought her this year. All-in-all, I'd say it was a mighty pleasant Christmas this year!
Merry Christmas Everyone! This picture is grainy and blurry but i felt like uploading it.. (:
...let's talk about CHRIST... and stuff... because my friend wants me to be Christian.. Let me explain why i am Agnostic.
Okay, first of all, that's kinda wrong. Two 'sister and brother'(since God created Adam and Eve was... made from Adam...) OKAY scratch that. So Eve is actually Adam's..daughter or something? I don't know but isn't that wrong..? because when two siblings(dad and daughter or something??) have babies.. their babies come out weird because they share the same genes.. and i think Adam and Eve were White/ American so... WAIT WHERE DID ALL THE HISPANICS COME FROM? The Asians? THE AFRICAN americans? ....I'm really confused... this is the reason why i'm an Agnostic.. =w=
Science is Reality. Not Beliefs. Believe it or not, long time ago, people needed something to believe in so they got a book and created the 'O HOLY BIBLE HALLELUJAH' and so, they created the stories. Who ever said they were real? Oh well, believe what you want. I trust science. Humans are created(scientifically) ..by starting as an organism and emerged from millions of years genetically mutating.. okay, i'm not getting into what i know.
My point is, what i believe is what i believe. You cannot change that. n_n
OH today i changed to being agnostic because i think it's better. I doubt that God is ...*gulp* real but.. I don't know.. The answer for God being real or not.. is unknown. ;)
Because the weather on Palm Sunday was glorious, we headed out in the afternoon for a drive and a ramble. Our destination was Lakefield, so we drove up the scenic River Road, stopping along the way to admire these Bufflehead ducks swimming in the Otonobee River.

I was told I look like ass in this picture and had a retake in classic angry pose, but I think it was better to go with the "true feelings" version.
I wish Dell would stop trying to be cool with their case designs. They still feel like cheap plastic.
This is from inside the Jefferson Memorial in Washington, DC. I like this because it uses the "original intent" of a Founding Father to refute the idea that we should live in a nation with laws based on the Founding Fathers' "original intent." (I, too, can be a hypocrite I suppose...except that I cite Jefferson as my prerogative, not because I believe I'm compelled to do so.) I also like this because it suggests that changes to the Constitution should be borne from enlightenment, progress, new truths -- and not from the base, animal fear and single-minded insularity and intolerance that seems to drive most proposals I hear floated about for amending the Constitution.
