News - another Sad news ...

 was been Taiwan for a Nature outing and found out those nature lover will buy over lands which original plan is to develop the land and do nothing on those lands .. (my respects to some people I meet up while my May 2010 Taiwan Trip....

Last week, after my wonderful family trip with my wife, Jie Xi and father in law to Muar .. while we reach in law house, my daughter say 　恐龙...怕怕。。...　"Dinosaur，　scary"

then we look out an Excavator actually destroying my MACRO ground ... (will share what I got from the small little jungle for pass 1-2 year and just outside my in law garden) ....and my father in law just get the info from neighbor the land had been sold and they will use it for some other purpose instead leave it there for nothing except use by me :(  ... and price is little too high for me .. else my wife say "you can buy it so no body can disturb the good "avatar" " ..... but it is too late ...

within <30 minutes the whole jungle gone ... all trees done .. green wasp, blue bee... flying into my in law kitchen (me without any macro len ....)


I understand it is not possible to stop development which = destroy of jungle or nature environment but I just feel sad for this .. not only for my MACRO ground but for future my daughter Jie Xi or next generation will have lesser chance to enjoy the nature environment and nature creatures ...


some history insects I found at this little jungle

1. it is so near to wait for them wake up..(i use to wake up 6am and walk around , sure you can see some bug still sleeping)




 2. immediate after rain .. can easily look for dews

6. a very cute bee


7. crab spider
