Giant and the Sky

The refreshing blue skies and lovely wispy white clouds framing the yak and temple created a photographically irresistible image in Wat Phra Kaew at Bangkok's Grand Palace, 2008.

“'Keep your temper,' said the Caterpillar”

{Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland}

This hornet and its caterpillar meal comprise one of my favorite photos. It was taken in Cambodia, in the Angkor Wat complex on my August 2007 visit.

That nearly all things there were unfamiliar, combined with the super cool bugs made me feel like a real adventurer, of the National Geographic sort : ) Ok, not really. But watching the hornet manuever the sizable caterpillar into its lair was quite the sight.

Perhaps future photos will have somehow relate to my day. This first one, though, is just one i like.
