Tall Tree Far Away




How to picture the height of the tree far away? I aimed at the small palm in front of me.

Lilies In Jakarta's Lembang Lake



These are Lilies, weeds before, now loved, honored plants, growing in the Jakarta’s Lembang lake. The lovely smaller wild white Lily I see no more as is the waterplant with small white flowers growing from out her floating leafs, not from her stalk.

Lovely Weed 13

Lovely flowers at the roadside at the corner of a ditch.


What Is A Weed?
A weed is a plant that is not wanted, not planted undesired and grows anywhere. They’re cleared out,eradicated, though they might grow into a beautiful flower plant, a fern, a chevelure, a lotus, an orchid, ... or a tree, a waringin, a beautiful forest, ...
A weed treated, cared for, looked after, loved ... stop being a weed and become as honorable, beautiful, lovable as our plants, trees in our garden, flower pot, vase are. All our plants once started as a weed.

There’s no weed whatever that’s not wonderful, extraordinary. If we see and judge that’s just an ordinary weed, our inner eyes fail to see its beauty.

Shadow Play On The Water

Shadow Play On The Water


Watch the beautiful shadow play of a plant, a flower on the wall by wind. This is a still shadow play by water in Kemuning Lake, Bojong Gede. Watch it live in You Tube.

Note:

They're so very small. I zoomed in, took a close shot, a bit blurred but never mind, I might never find, see such a flower again.

Fishponds In Paradise


 
I never cared to write in Picasa and You Tube where my Pictures and Videos were located as I think Indonesia to be so small, almost unnoticed in the world. Moreover, the places which I visited during my wandering, running, biking travels into the country and took the pictures, were just “ant holes”. No one would, could see them. Why weary my readers of my blog, viewers of my pictures, videos with their names?

But since I tried if Picasa’s “Photo Location” could ever find the places where the pictures were located, I never thought, dreamed of, it could be found, be seen, I was perplexed, dumbfounded that it could.

I very repent the loss of my world Bos Atlas before, now not anymore. This is even far better. When you switch from “Map” to “Satellite” and zoom in, all my “ant holes” are there, even smaller ones and other places in their neighborhood I haven’t visited yet.

From now on will I gladly write them in my blog, in Picasa and You Tube. It’s fascinating to see the places almost live in the Google map.

I can pride myself in having visited running, or on my bike and all along the way those charming, captivating sceneries, even though they were mere “ant holes”, no famous sceneries in foreign countries. I hope one day to visit “Ujung Kulon” on foot or on my bike.

Seeing  the moon  shining   behind the foliage is really fascinating, beautiful. I aimed, zoomed in, but the camera  couldn't capture the outlines of the leaves but got the moon only.

A Very Small Bird


Watch For A Chance To Capture The Bird

And there’s that little bird, so frustrating, furiously flying against the windowpane of a parked car in the garden, again and again. Is she attacking her opponent mirrored on it? It would make a nice, unusual video of the bird. But I couldn’t capture her with my camera as when I go outside from my room she flies away. 

Certainly, there’re no two happenings, occurences would, could ever be exactly the same. This chance might be for ever lost.  But I just am lucky as the little bird came again the next day. From behind the glass window-pane now I aimed – she is so very small - zoomed in and recorded. A bit blurred, but never mind.

And here she is, sure not a dazzling colored proud peacock. I couldn’t  get a sharp, clear  picture of her with my digital pocket camera, yet am I so happy as she’s alive in You Tube now and for ever.

The Swallows 10

The Swallows

I aimed at the flying swallows but to my distress I couldn’t almost see anything of them except my face mirrored, hindering me on the screen of my digital pocket camera. I aimed at the sky at random, zoomed in, zoomed out again and I felt wretched. I opened it in my computer. The swallows that I captured were flying so fast and there were a lot of blank spots without a swallow.

But as I found a very short beautiful recording of the birds, I thought I could still make me a nice video for You Tube. I slowed down its speed, lengthened by doubling the recording and I saw a beautiful view of flying swallows through a frame, more fascinating than seeing them actually live, flying in the open air. Besides, I’ll make me some beautiful snapshots out of it for my ‘chewspictures’ blog.And as it’s that good, I owe this to the very smart digital pocket camera and Windows Live Movie Maker.
