That bird may not look so far, but then I zoom out and you can see just how crazy cacti can grow.

It’s been a long 3 1/2 days, so here’s a quick video post. When I went up to Ngong Ping Village in Hong Kong, I was walking over to the temple when I came across this bull grazing. He was SO close – the video doesn’t do it justice. I was intimidated and very watchful of him, in case he decided to run one of us over. But hey, it seems he’s really into his food.

A pair of butterflies flirting as they do in a mating ritual.

This one completely ignored me even when I touched it!

And this one had such a cool bright blue color.

They catch the light so nicely and give off a really cool glow.

Caught in a web

I recently went a little crazy on the spiders that have decided to take up residence in corners I rarely frequent. I spent a couple of minutes completely terrorizing them, though I have no idea if they’ll even understand or remember what happened. I tore down their webs and followed them as they crawled around, slapping my hands and stomping things right next to them. I made as much noise as I could and often got close enough to touch their legs. One of the smaller ones I blew the whole way out the door. One of them I attempted to fume away with some strong scented oil. It turned out to be a good thing though, because look at this gem I found!

He was getting himself caught up in one of the webs. Look at how small he is!

They groom much like cats do.

Climbing all over my knuckles!

Now on my jade bracelet, kind of matching.

I thought it was kind of cool with the hula hoop in the background.
