Brown Snake

I just resized, watermarked, and uploaded pictures from Zoobic Safari on my Facebook account, and I just realized there were quite a lot of brown images there, so today, I share to you a picture of a brown snake. The Zoobic Safari had different attractions, and this was taken at the Serpentarium.

No need to worry, though, the snakes were housed in different terrariums. Although, I'd say I had a difficult time taking pictures as the place was so dark and I can't turn on the flash as the light would bounce off.

Still, it was a fun day out.

Higad

The rainy season made snails infest in our garden that no matter how often I check the plants to take out the snails (some days it felt like picking berries). However, when I went outside of the house yesterday morning to see if any of our plants got knocked out because of typhoon Pedring, I was so surprised to see these caterpillars. Looking around, I realized there were so many of them.

I don't know what's in our garden, but at this moment, with lots of snails and lots of caterpillars, for sure our garden is one big smorgasbord for them.

Of course, I am not happy about that at all.

Yellow and Green

I was supposed to update this blog yesterday, but because the weather was cloudy and that it rained in the afternoon, internet has been a big pain in the bottoms. :) So... this means I'd post a two-in-one post for today.


This yellow/black bird was something I saw when we visited Bohol's biggest python. Since many wanted to get up close to the snake and had their pictures taken, we decided to leave the cage after we had our turn. Some of our companions still had to take their turn, and because there were other animals around, I went to take more pictures. The cage of this kind of bird (there were about 5 birds in the cage) was located somewhere people can't see at first glance, I just had to thank their yellow feathers that quickly caught my attention.

This picture was pretty much SOOC, and I really loved how my point and shoot camera was able to create that depth of field even if I was shooting on "auto" mode (because I asked mom to take a picture of me near the snake). Actually, as long as there's enough source of light, this camera of mine can do wonders. :)

By the way... I was pretty amazed, too, that even if the space between the chicken wires were quite small, zooming in on the bird made me eliminate the traces of wire. :)

For my Green Monday post, I share to you some stuff inside my loot bag when I attended the Blogapalooza at Bonifacio High Street last Saturday. The loot bag had so much stuff in it, but I noticed I grouped a few green colored items close to each other, so before I placed the items back in the loot bag, I took this picture first.

Yeah, Christmas came early to me (and 149 other bloggers) this year. :)

A Critter on a Bed of Petals

While at the Simply Butterflies butterfly sanctuary in Bohol, my companions were busy taking pictures of themselves, and since I don't ask any of them to take my pictures that often, I just roamed around to find photography subjects.

It was the pink flower that I saw first, but when I came near it, I was surprised to see this little fella sitting pretty on the petals. I am not really sure if this one's a beetle or something else, but it sure looks cute where it was. :)

A Wasp, Maybe?

Like what I shared on my other blog, this yellow flowering plant was something I took while vacationing in Cebu. After taking several pictures of the bee, I was able to see this critter - which I think is a wasp (correct me if I am wrong).

Ain't it cute? The flowers were yellow... and the critter had a hint of yellow, too! :)

Geese

After visiting daddy's grave for his 4th death anniversary, my sister and I went to Aunt Lorie's house to meet up with cousin Mhai because we planned to go to the hanging bridge. When we got there, she was taking a nap (we had to wake her up), and while waiting for her to get ready, these geese walked by, which freaked me out a bit because I have this small fear of big birds (because of the beak). However, they're just way too cute, and we don't see geese everyday, so I got my camera to take a picture. I don't want to get near them, so I just zoomed my camera to take my picture.
