Finally, some photos
Been a month since my last outing, don't know why, but I don't have the urge to shoot at all. Perhaps due to the mishap, or probably due to being just lazy about it.
Well, we (butterflycircle members) have agreed upon some rules of posting, due to mysterious disappearance and sign of vandalism at some location, recently, The Plane was one of the victims, members found the location with sign of trampling (human activity), broken twigs, branches. We can't be sure who done that, but the other day, sunny went to the place and all the sudden, they weren't there as scheduled, one thing about butterflies, they tend to return to the same necter plant at a certain timing. So as a measure, we have agreed to keep location secret. Hopefully, if there are poachers lurking in our forum, we could still enjoy them and keep them out of harms way.
2nd thing, just a while back, probably a week or 2, incident from a bird nesting created a scene in the birding photography area, bird watchers complained about how photographers are not ensuring the survival of the bird species, and so, some forums have enforced certain rules on posting such photos and particularly the location. My feeling for all this is simply that it is unenforcable. I do hope that forums should be unbias over the content, particularly nesting photos local or oversea. Such photos educate the public and fellow photographers alike and will be useful for research. If for ever reasons forums kerb such posting, then I feel that it should be for all, local and oversea. I don't see the logic about banning local taken nesting site and allowing oversea taken ones.
3rdly, I have finally left my job of 11yrs last friday, obviously the feeling isn't good, I have made some good relationships and friendships throughout these 11yrs. But due to certain circumstance, I had to leave for another better paid job. All I can say is housing loan ain't cheap and with the rising economy, interest rate will raise. I think its time to look for a re-fiancing, maybe when I have the time. well, tomorrow will be my first day at a new place. Hopefully, a pleasurable place to work in and probably busier than my last job.
ok, time for some pix (ps. for a reason, I can't upload my pix, nvm, leave it as it is, will post later)
