    January 19, 2008. I think I'm gaining weight again, so I went to climb a limestone hill near my home. In this trip, I found an adult pit viper. The adult one is really beautiful !!!

    Then, I saw flying lemur too. Too bad, I didn't bring my zoom lens to shoot this flying lemur which was climbing a tree at the summit of that hill. So, I used my macro lens to shoot it & cropped the image.



    Limestone hill forest:










    Adult Pit viper (Tropidolaemus wagleri)




    Adult Pit viper (Tropidolaemus wagleri). It just eaten something.
