I like that sky scene, Hachi. Because I like to paint watercolours, I've got dozens of photos of sky scenes. Some are too dramatic to even bother painting.

I was out yesterday with my camera, but it was too windy for close ups of the wild flowers, but I took some snapshots anyway.

One of my favorite areas to visit in Thailand, is Thali Noi Lake area, in northern Songkhla, I try to get down there a couple of times a year.

It's not a well traveled area by "western tourists" but bus loads of Malaysians do visit the area, usually on day trips.

April is the best month for the Lotus blooms, you need to be an "early bird" as they close up for the day between 11 am & noon. January brings many migratory birds, but there are still some Lotus, blooming... breathe taking!

What type of snake is that, Goshawk? He was distracted by someone while you took the photo.

I did the same with these snake photos. But I got too close to the cobra and it actually tapped the lens on my camera.

Keep the photos coming and it will stay near the top of the list.

I usually only pin reference items, otherwise it will get too crowded at the top.

You can always keep a bookmark?
