A Happy Family

Men in Blue

>> May 15, 2011

My husband isn’t healthy yet. We just stay at home during weekend. So, I spent Sunday by cleaning our aquarium and kitchen. How is yours? Hope your weekend is nicer.
For Blue Monday this week, I share two photos that I captured at different places and times. I was interested with the contrast impression which caused by the ‘blue man’ in every picture.

The 'blue man' with a caping hat were walking on the side of a rice field. I captured him in a village in my husband's home town.

Hope you can see the tiny 'blue man' in the middle of this Maze Garden (inside Nusantara Flower Park). It's captured from a sight-seeing tower.

Predator and Prey

>> May 14, 2011

One spider and one fly
One trapped, one got trapped
One will eat, one will be eaten
One became the victim of the predator, or
One has supported the other’s continuing life?

Stepped Ponds

>> May 11, 2011

For this week’s Watery Wednesday, I still share things that I saw at Saung Dolken fishing place. Actually, Saung Dolken (Dolken Gazebo) is the name of a lovely wooden house that you can rent there. These ponds are located in the front of this wooden house. They look more beautiful if you see it from the terrace of the house.

An Appreciation

>> May 9, 2011

He’s not a police officer. His main job here is helping police officers in traffic controlling. I think he has already been placed there, at the same spot, for long time enough.

Standing in the middle of the famous three-section road in Bogor (West Java, Indonesia), he always smiles while he’s controlling the busy traffic. He looks so enjoying the job. Not only his smiling face, his acts attract my attention, too.

A One-Legged Duck?

>> May 7, 2011

I’m still not sure. Is this guy included a Mandarin duck? When I captured this duck in the swan lake area (Nusantara Flower Park Cipanas, West Java, Indonesia), the weather was a bright one. While two mute swans were swimming around the lake, this guy preferred to stand still under the shade.

When I saw it for the first time, it looked like the duck has only one leg. But then I noticed that he lifted and bended one of his legs. How can he keep the balancing? I can’t do it for a long time. I thought this duck is a male one as in animal kingdom; the male is the colorful one.

Couple’s Corner : I, as a Mother or Aunt…According to my Husband

>> May 6, 2011

In many parts of the world, Mother’s day will come in the short time. But not here, Indonesian people commemorate Mother’s day in December 22th. That’s why Liz, the host of this lovely meme, arranged all this month’s topics are about us, girls.

I can’t share here how about I’m as a mother, I have no kid yet. I can’t share much about my hubby’s saying me as an aunt either, as they are live far from me. All my siblings’ nieces and nephews live in different town and province. Sometimes I say hello to them via facebook and sometimes I chat with them. In their birthdays, my husband always reminds me to call them.

Nieces and nephews from BILs and SIL are live closer. I more often visit them. It takes about 45 minutes to reach their houses. They live in three houses that are close each other. In every visit, we always bring their favorite cakes.

My hubby said that I’m close with his nieces and nephews, but not that close. He means, I can enjoy play and chat with them, but I’ve never bathed them and I seldom carry our baby nephew. I admit that. In fact, my youngest nephew is a big baby boy, I'm afraid of carrying him; he's too heavy for me.

Saung Dolken: a New Fishing Place

>> May 4, 2011

This fishing place has just opened for one month. We decided to visit the place after we saw its promotion banners at some spots before. Though the place isn’t totally ready yet; we still like it. Some facilities are still under construction. There would be a swimming pool for kids and a meeting hall there. A lovely wooden house has been ready to rent. I’ll share the photos next week.

Saung Dolken (Dolken Gazebo) isn’t far from our home. It only takes fifteen minutes ride to reach the place. The owners are very friendly couple. They asked for our opinions and inputs about their fishing place. We chatted for long time enough.
Though we must pay more for the caught fish, I think it’s worth.
