Caption - The Thinker

Welcome to Monday Photo Captions!

Enjoy the captions contributed by fellow bloggers and leave yours for the last two photos.

Selected ones will be posted next Monday with links to your blogs.

Kay L Davies : I had a banana. I know I had a banana, but where did I put it?

Kerrie :  If I pull this rope at the right time, those elephants will trip...

Anna : The Thinker by Monsieur Jungle (Rodin's Sculpture)

Daine : Elephant 1 : There is something on your back, Honey.

Elephant 2 : I see something on your back too. Shall I get rid of it for you dear?

Anna : Learning the Ropes.

I want to thank everyone who contributed to the captions and comments too.

Below are 2 new images.
These are wasps which stung me because I accidentally pruned away their nest.
I considered fixing the nest back but it was impossible.
Sorry wasps.
If you are interested to know, the wasps' stings hurt quite badly but the pain only lasted for about 5 minutes.
It's a small price to pay considering that their next generation may be lost due to my carelessness.

Sent in your captions for these last 2 images.
Selected ones would be posted next Monday with links to your blogs.
Have a jolly week!
By the way, you may want to look beneath the leaves before pruning.

Krabi, Thailand

Below are some photos I took in Thailand recently. 

Although the first 6 photos were taken at the Tiger Cave temple, there aren't many signs of the temple as I have little interest in buildings and statues.

While I was admiring this little girl who waved at me, a stray dog gave me a fright by licking my arms. I thought that action rather strange and quickly went off to clean myself. I hope I didn't hurt the dog's feelings. 

There were many stray dogs, monkeys, cats, pigeons and even chicken. I didn't go inside the temple nor took the 1000 steps that lead to another temple up the mountain. Come to think of it, I might as well have visited a farm. But I do enjoy the encounters.

One man chained a puppy near the vicinity of the temple. He wanted to pet the puppy but the latter probably growled at him out of fear. That angered the man who shouted and was about to whack the pup. Almost immediately, a dog dashed forward from across the street and bowed its head in front of the man. That man ended up petting the dog's head instead and forgave the pup. I could have taken snapshots of the sequence of events on camera but didn't think it was appropriate. I feel amazed with how the dog dissipated anger instantly without words. Most people react towards anger with more anger. The dog just bowed.

The two photos above were taken at the Emerald Pool.

The water is very clear, GREEN and filled with beautiful fishes but it is too slippery to walk.

We were told that there are quicksands nearby so we did not venture around.
This pool itself is very unique and I think if you are nearby, you should visit.
We visited the hot spring which isn't as beautiful but it was amazing that there were many small natural tubs like 'jacuzzi' with warm running water at 50 degree Celsius.
It also came with sulphur which is supposedly good for the skin.

These boats were seen near the hotel we stayed.
There are many beautiful islands out there.
We didn't island hop but visited the shops along the beach.

This is what I found in one of the shops.
I don't know what it was doing there but it was definitely not for sale.
Krabi isn't about dogs but about beautiful islands, friendly people, elephant rides, crystal clear natural pools and good food.
I better end this post with some nice flowers I took from the hotel because it may appear to be 'dog-sided' at the moment.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays in advance!

Check out This or That Thursday for other happenings around the world.

Anything for Bananas

The new born silvered leaf monkey differs considerably from the adults as it has orange fur, white face, hands and feet.

Its skin changes to black within days of birth.

The babies love to suck thumbs and fingers just like human babies.

It takes about 3 months for the orange fur to turn to black.

These monkeys live in groups but obviously the brown one is just a passer-by.

The females help one another out with their offspring.

For a moment, I thought highly of such a helpful guardian.

We were told that bananas is their favourite food although they eat many other things like long beans, peanuts and bread too.

 Despite the struggling and squealing of the baby, its guardian threw the baby down when she saw someone offering bananas.

The monkeys were hungry because not many tourists have been feeding them during the raining season.

However, it was no excuse to let the baby fall from 3 feet high.

Its mother quickly came to the rescue...

...and had to give her 'friend' a real dirty look!

I hope the baby didn't suffer brain damage.

Never trust a hungry monkey who would do anything for bananas.

After reading Donna's comment below, I'll add that these monkeys are living in the wild on a historical hill which is called Bukit Melawati.
This small peak was once a mighty fortress built in the 17th century to safeguard the state from Dutch forces.
I am adding the photo below to show you how the monkeys live.
Thank you for the good question, Donna.

It's Photo Caption time again.

Hootin' Anni : PREYing for rain.

One : Secret to my radiant cheeks? Basically, I just watch what I eat...

Andrea : Mama, mama, I passed my initiation. Now they call me a Dog.

Bom : This does not taste anything like the green ball that One asked me to fetch.

Victoria : Mom, can I keep him,... pretty please?

Hootin' Anni : Take me to your leader!

Solitude Rising : I kissed you and I turned into a dog. Now, suffer my wrath!

One : I can explain... I did not catch the toad. It hopped right into my mouth! Come on! Trust me!

Bananaz : How I wish my darling is here to hold my waist just like Jack and Rosie in Titanic...my heart will go on and on...♫

(This orange dragonfly photo has been added to go with Bananaz's caption  because it looks like it is contemplating on diving ...)

The 2 new photos are of a monkey analyzing a banana and 2 dogs in action.
Looking forward eagerly to your captions and comments.

Caption - Wasabi!

Actually I find this monkey photo quite frightening myself but the exaggerated expression is ideal for creative captions nevertheless.

Donna of GWGT : OMG, I don't believe it. And with a younger man, no less.

Bangchik : Is this chili padi (bird's eye chilli)?

Rosie @ i-tales : Why didn't you tell me about the wasabi? Water! I need water!!!

Christine : Aww geez Mom, do I have to eat my vegetables?!

Solitude Rising : A member of the 'Sen... in the Philippines'.

Dave : Ow! I've just bitten my tongue!

Rosie @ i-tales : One day son, you'll leave home and travel to distant lands. Always remember this...beware of that green stuff they call 'wasabi'!

Solitude Rising : Another member of the 'Sen... in the Philippines'.

Autumn Belle : If you come back to me, there'll be two less lonely people in the world tonite.

b-a-g : Sent to coven-tree. (ostracized)

Donna of GEV : The Dawn of Man
