I was so excited to spot my first snake in Thailand this morning! This beauty was climbing on the electricity pole directly outside our bedroom window.
It's a golden tree snake apparently. Mildly venomous but harmless to humans. Gorgeous! I have since discovered that these are also known as flying snakes for their capacity to glide through the air. I'm thankful I saw it first in climbing mode and not gliding towards me! Hoping it might stay around until the boys get home from school but probably unlikely.
While I'm here, thought I'd add a few more nature discoveries we've made recently. We found these cicada molts resting on trees on a recent trip to the beach.
It was weird because I would wake at 6 am to really loud cicada singing and then by 6.10 am, it had stopped and I went back to sleep. Not sure if they sing right before they molt but it was fun to discover anyway.
And one more discovery from this morning as well.. . . a heart-shaped fig found on the ground at a local market.
Now isn't that a beauty?! Enjoy the nature around you today and take the time to stop and look! Thanks for clicking!
