Can't Exercise

 Like the header says, it's near impossible to exercise in my new neighborhood. Rest assured, it's not due to the fault of the amenities or anything like that. Don't go complaining anywhere. I wouldn't. But yes, alas, it is simply impossible. You mustn't blame me either - Ok, maybe you can. But not in this instance - After all, how can you expect me to just keep walking when...

There are so many butterflies! XD

I am on leave so I took a walk this morning in the garden and I must confess I hardly walked at all. I kept stopping and stopping and trying and failing to take a picture of all the butterflies I saw. Here's a list of them.

  • Grass Yellows (of course)
  • Striped Albatross (And there were so many! I have never seen so many before at one time!)
  • I suspect a female Striped Albatross too (among the many, many, many males)
  • Leopard (of course. I was by their tree)
  • Plain Tiger
  • Peacock Pansy
  • Chocolate Pansy (I think. I think I only saw this very briefly or I might have mixed it up with yesterday when I definitely saw it....or maybe it was the day before...)
  • All those little butterflies like Lesser Grass Blues that were too quick and landed too infrequently for me to identify
  • A mysterious larger than Lesser Grass Blues but smaller than Grass Yellow butterfly I saw in the distance but couldn't identify. It was white and had a similar structure to a Lesser Grass Blue but with a tip at the end of it's tail and a hint of orange at the back near that tip. (Alas, this description is still too generic for me to identify it)

And all in the span of thirty minutes! How can I exercise I ask? How can I walk? I can't. I must stop and look and admire and try, even if I fail, to take a picture. You can't expect a butterfly lover to just walk past all these.

It's simply impossible.

Should be walking but keeps on stopping,
May.

P.S. This is on the 26th of June 2024. I can't fantom why Blogger says it is on the 25th. The date and time setting is fine on the posting site. Maybe it's a bug....How ironic.

P.P.S Ok, I've fixed it. How did blogger get the idea I was on the other side of the world in Los Angeles? I wouldn't mind visiting California again though. I would love to return to Yosemite National Park, Muir Woods, and Monetary Bay Aquarium.

Not in my guidebook!

Somehow, it never occurred to me that this could happen but today, it did. I came across a butterfly not in my butterfly guidebook. My trust...
