Melolontha melolontha

Friday, May 16, 2008 by Tse Moana Leave a Comment

After we’d gone to the museum and were on the way back to the train station, we came across a huge beetle on a wall. It remained so perfectly still I could take this picture of it. I’ve spent some time trying to identify it and have eventually come to the conclusion that it is a female Common European Cockchafer, also called May Bug (Meikever in Dutch). It appears to be missing its antenna so I don’t know if it’s actually alive, but as it was against a wall I kinda doubt it’s dead.

Terracotta Army of Xi’an: Kneeling Soldier

Friday, May 16, 2008 by Tse Moana Leave a Comment

I went to see the exposition of (part of) the Terracotta Army of Xi’an. The museum allowed photographs to be taken but use of flash was forbidden so the photos, while relatively sharp, are darkish and a bit too yellow and a bit grainy due to the high iso value. I picked this one and the next as they were the sharpest and clearest and good enough to be featured here. I’ve put a lot of the others in a public facebook gallery if you want to see them.

Crow

I went to the museum with my mother and while we were waiting for our train, some crows developed an interest in us (and our sandwiches).

Monet

Monday, May 12, 2008 by Tse Moana Leave a Comment

This is my cat. His name is Monet and he is an almost-five-year-old (just 11 more days) ex-male. He loves to cuddle and be petted, he loves to sleep, he loves to roam outside and chase and/or hassle the other cats that live around here. I love him to, excuse the girly-ness, itty bitty bits.

Also in honour of Mother’s Day, my mother 🙂 Edited to age and wrinkle the photo and used one of the frames in my scrapbook supply collection made by Roberta D’Achille.

Food

For the birds that is 🙂 I love playing with the macro and super macro functions on the new camera. Which, by the way, is this one. Not a super fancy pro camera or anything, just a point-and-click but it has surprisingly good functionality and tweak options for one of that nature. And it’s a huge improvement compared to my old one. That one, which I had had since December 2003, despite a good 5 MP capacity, didn’t have tweak options and such so it was much more a matter of luck to get the really good photos. And now, with the new one, I’ve shot more really good ones in a one hour afternoon session than I would’ve with the other one in a week or two.
