A day of days

I was up this morning when I saw a few small bees
flying around the front of my house. Here's a shot. I
don't know the exact ID, so please tell me in my Cbox or

on this post.

Outside my house, I spotted this little spider.

Again, ID please.

I have seen it before. It has an iridescent blue-green

head that looks purple at an angle. I had to go to my

friend's party today, at 2.30, so I left the house earlier

for lunch. It just so happened that we ate at a prata place

just next to the Lower Pierce Reservoir walk.( or something )

We had loads of time to kill so I went to take a look. My father

spotted a weird insect with long legs. I managed to get a shot of it.

What it actually is? I don't really know. I passed by

the ant plant, which is very distinctive.

Going on, I heard some noises. Rather far away, there

were many little birds flying around, presumably to

catch insects. I couldn't quite tell, but I am pretty sure

they were Asian paradise flycatchers, along with other

flycatchers. Below is a shot of a female. It is far away, so

I have circled it. Even then, it is hard to see its colours.

I know the photo is blurry, but I couldn't help it. :(

Here's another one.

After a while, we moved on. The sun started to shine

through the forest. About half a dozen sun skinks( I

think ) came out of their hiding places to sunbathe.

We had to leave.(remember? the party!) It was at

Safra Yishun Club, and I was going to be rock climbing.

At first, I didn't dare, so after a while, I went and had a

go. That's me.

I climbed pretty high, but did not reach the top.

Oh, I forgot to mention that the rock climbing wall really

towers. On my second try, I reached the top! It was

much harder higher up as there was less to grip.

On my third go, my father went with me. Below is a

shot of both of us reaching the top.

I made it all the way to the top. So did my father.

Coming down was much easier. It's like walking down

on a vertical wall at 40o . I hope to go there again.

P.S. : Okay, don't forget to tell me some ID!
