Cambodia Picture Extravaganza: Animals

The last few days have been a photographic explosion for the Bucksta. So..in the interests of keeping my readers riveted, and my sanity intact – I will be posting them up thematically..And where else could I begin but with Animals!!!

This toad/frog/exotic oriental reptile was hanging out in our guesthouse in Siem Reap. When questioned he revealed only his name, rank & pond number – details I am unfortunately not permitted to share with you..

This delightful little lizard was chilling by one of the temples in the old city of Angkor. His name is Gerald and he’s a huge fan of Simply Red..

After a delightful lunch of bread and cheese, we stopped by a family of monkeys to offer gifts of banana. They enjoyed the banana’s immensely and decided to grab Jane’s bag & search it for other goodies. Our attempts to reason with these primates were met with derision from the cheeky buggers, & laughter from the gathering crowd of tuk-tuk drivers..

These pigs are being driven somewhere on the back of a motorcycle. They dont look very comfortable. I felt a bit sad.

I came upon this ant army who were mercilessly eating a worm alive. I was assured by their leader, General Glob, that worms are considered a delicacy amongst the ant communities of Cambodia. He even offered me a piece – which I respectfully declined..

This dog was taking a bath in front of the Terrace of the Elephants in the walled compound of Angkor Thom. Her name is Charlene, and she’d like to reassure Jim & Susan from Minneapolis that she’s safe & well in Cambodia, & will try & hitch a ride home on the doggy ferry next fall..

    how did you know that the lizard was a fan of simply red? I don’t believe he told you.

    We had some telepathic communication Gerald & I. oh, how I miss our long (but silent) chats about Mick Hucknall and the meaning of life. I thought that Mick Hucknall WAS the meaning of life, but Gerald wasn’t so sure….
