Eyes on the Sparrows

Love, Almost

She Walked in Beauty, under a Mess

Pohon besar di Jl. Biliton (di belakang Jl. Thamrin) di Ibu Kota ini roboh di akhir Juli lalu setelah kena angin dan badai yang sebenarnya tidak terlalu besar. Ternyata, akarnya sangat pendek. Bayangkan, pohon sebesar itu cuma punya “lahan” untuk tumbuh macam sekitar 1 x 1 x 1 meter kubik! Seram betul!

Teh Kuda

Nemu foto ini di arsip CD. Produk ini aku lihat di De Best Fatmawati macam akhir 2010. Teh kuda laut. Wah, wah, kasihan betul.

(s)hark!

That Sunday morning I forced myself to get off bed and do some running on that car free day. I stopped by this #saveshark event.

Something Fishy

Tampaknya, sampai tahun 2002, hiu masih digolongkan komersial oleh pemerintah. Poster ini kufoto di Food Hall Plaza Indonesia Mei 2013.

Juwet

That day, i did market watch in not one but three markets. In the second one, I find this black beauty: juwet which local people call jambu hitam. I had one tree growing in our front yard in Jalan Argopuro. So after years, perhaps like a decde not eating this, I bought a plastic full of Syzygium cumini fruit in Alor.

Fowl Play

I saw an Indian peacock roamed in the garden of Capella. A strange sight indeed. Curious, I asked the doorman about the beautiful fowl. “It is tame and released in the morning. It will be caught in the afternoon,” said he. How cool is that! 

 

A postcard explains, peacocks were a common sight on the island. It doesn’t explain, however, why they are not a common sight now. Arguably, it is due to rapid yet massive conversion of the island into resorts, theme parks, and residences. Admirably, peacocks are “reintroduced”: released in the morning, caught in the afternoon. An exciting way of birdwatching, if you will.
