Bother!

It's been raining like mad through out this week, so I couldn't take my cam out to do any good photography. To make things worse, my internet usage went over limit and the ISP has lowered the speed to 64kbs! But the speed will come up after 31st this month, so only a  few days more till things get back in full steam again. Sorry for not visiting your blogs this week, it's not really a  pleasant experience working online at such lower a connection speed. How ever, here's this wee butterfly I did manage to capture and some other photos out of my archives, which I believe I have   never posted before.

Plains Cupid (Euchrysops pandava)






















Common Kingfisher (Alcedo atthis)


 Common Myna(Acridotheres tristis)

    I drop a comment each time I appreciate a
    post on a website or I have something to valuable to contribute to the conversation.
    Usually it is triggered by the passion communicated in the post I browsed.
    And on this article "Bother!". I was excited enough to post a leave
    a responsea response ;-) I do have a few questions for
    you if it's allright. Is it only me or do a few of the responses come across like they are written by brain dead people? :-P And, if you are writing at other sites, I would like to follow you. Would you list the complete urls of all your shared pages like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?
