GREAT FIND RON

Fantastic story mate

Yes, it reminded me I had not sent Easter wishes to people, overseas, so I sent that on a mass email ! so that's done with!

All joking aside, fellows^. Just a quick farm report:

This morning another pond was emptied. One guy was fishing with 2 rods and he managed quite well.

The other guy stayed behind alone last night to take care of the water pump. Only with a dirty hammock and a bottle of lao kao to spend the night while the water slowly fled into the cornfield.

Cleverly all the fish who didn't make it and died pre-maturely were selected from the bunch and used in a great tomyamplah made on spot. Another farm lesson learned: Nothing goes to waste.

Hey DAL,

Perhaps it is time you changed your profile picture to an image of a Mountain Dew bottle. It seems you are becoming synonymous with said bottle!

[Goompa]

That looks like a " Mountain Jewfish "

I am lead to believe they are tasty but very high in sugar content ,a specimen that size is rare find in farm ponds this time of year !

Slightly off topic I suppose but I couldn't think where else to put then thought Shaggy would appreciate this.

What a lovely video Ron,thanks for sharing it.Nature is truly wondrous and it never ceases to amaze me.

It kinda of made me think back to what I saw at Sriracha Tiger Zoo back in 2006 when I saw a sow suckling two tiger

cubs as well as her own babies and in the next enclosure there was a tigress with a litter of piglets.

I'm sure I took some photos of them....will have to try and dig them out.

Anyway,how about a rice field for now?

It's certainly amazing what nature can do like in another video I posted elsewhere yesterday.

If animals can do this why can't many humans be the same.

Photos from Sriracha Tiger Zoo.

I know it's only a gimmick for the visitors at the zoo.......but the animals didn't know that.

Sow suckling her own babies and tiger cubs.

My apologies for the poor quality of this image......must of been distracted by something

This hen must have been behind the door when marbles were being handled out.Virtually no cover but has survived 2 rain storms and it is only 1 metre from a narrow road where some times vehicles have to go off the road to be able to pass.

This looks like a good spot dear! .... at least the chicken is better camouflaged ^

I'm told that in Australia that they are now turning away from this as it actually affects the quality of the sugar

With an ageing population we have to start them young here but maybe 2yo is going overboard.

Flowers like this? took a bit of searching, and had to resize it down!

Me thinks there might be two plants growing together there??? That vine has a tendency to grow everywhere if left unchecked... Rice555's plant has different foliage, but it could be that the plant is hiding in vine?

Conclusive reply pending further inquires!
