Bats, Sunrises, Water and a Wasp Nest
I call this one “Blue Fountain Sunrise.” As you may gather, since I’m waxing poetic, it’s been a long day. I’m preparing a post to be released on Saturday morning so that I don’t have to go into the office. I have to go into the office to do anything because Telikom is totally incapable of giving me a pair of copper wires that will conduct electricity. I’d say that they are about a century behind:
It’s an interesting sunrise, anyway.
Here are some of our famous Flying Foxes (giant fruit-eating bats) flying around in the morning before settling down in the trees to nap all day:
This is a mixed bag, so let’s throw in a wasp nest:

I’ve never seen a water drop that I did not want to photograph. These are no exceptions:

I like the way that I can see my own reflection in the drops. It somehow calms me. The water tells me that I am real.
Man, it HAS been a long day!
