Shades of Grey

Ever since the beginning of the term, I've been promising myself that one day, one morning, I'd wake up early and take pictures of ducks at one of the university's duck ponds. Up to date, that has yet to happen, which is frustrating for me because I tell myself, every single day off I get, I'd fulfill that promise. By a cruel twist of fate, I'd wake up late almost certainly on that particular day.

Today I woke up at 5.30 and took one tiny step to realize that dream. I took pictures of my backyard. Sure there weren't any ducks, but I managed to get this shot which pretty much made my day.



I suppose they're some sort of fungus mycelium thing.

Yeah it's not the most breathtaking snapshot the world has ever laid eyes upon. But it made me reasonably happy, and that was all I really needed.

Sir Ashcroft said...

Yang menjadi fokus bukanlah penyepit baju, tapi entiti yang hidup pada penyepit itu :)

Ahaha... Pembiak fungus! You could start a colony of fungus infested clothe peg and sell it for profit to ... err... whoever wants to buy it!

Sir Ashcroft said...

Haha...that's what happens when you abandon those clothe pegs for so long...not selling them to anyone though, I want to see them grow. :D

heres an idea, why dun just camp out kat tepi tasik tuh, esok PAGI u'll get ur ducks!

Sir Ashcroft said...

Yeah, that sounds somewhat viable but I don't have camps to use. And I doubt the security guard would accept the idea with arms wide open.

the main colony must be on the owner's shirt..

can't snap a duck?
maybe you suck?
or you're out of luck?

you little fu-- ahh, try baiting with duck food.

We have dryers here la Ucop, so nobody uses the clothes line.

The problem with me snapping pictures of the ducks is because I have yet to go to the duck pond with my camera.
