DAILY PHOTO: Ross Perot Gargoyle Monkey
Taken March 23, 2014 at Nandi Hills
Many say that baby macaques are cute. Those people may not have seen a true infant, hairless and wrinkled, looking–ironically–like an old man.
This one hasn’t even grown to fully look like H. Ross Perot. You see, all young macaques look like H. Ross Perot, and some adult macaques look like Gary Busey.

DAILY PHOTO: Eyespot Mimicry: or, Evolution Only Gets One So Far
Taken in January of 2014 in Bangalore, India.
I’ve seen butterflies and moths that had patterns evolved to mimic the eyes of other animals at a butterfly house in a botanical gardens, but this is the first time I’ve seen it in the wild–which is to say in the stairwell of our central Bangalore apartment building. This moth thought the perfect place to exploit its owl-like eyes and “feather pattern” would be on the white marble floor inside a building. Evolution only gets one so far.

DAILY PHOTO: Tree of Gold
Taken March 4, 2014 in Cubbon Park.
If you’ve ever seen the kung-fu movie Curse of the Golden Flower, there’s a scene in the Forbidden City where these vivid yellow flowers fill the central courtyard. Cubbon Park is a little like that right now.The tree responsible is called the Tree of Gold (Tabebuia Argentea.) It’s a transplant from South America and has a relatively short blossoming season during which its flowers are thick as can be.

Ripples on the pond and vines strangling the tree. I don’t know why–or precisely where in Ayutthaya–I took this picture, but I’m going to go unconventional and make it today’s Daily Photo.

This little bird was going all Daniel-san, reading itself to lay a boot to the head.
