Fly Is Actually Hairy
I thought the backyard was only full of mosquitos. There were a few flies too. This guy hanging upside down on a mango leaf. I underestimated the amount of hair a fly has.

Freshly Cut Grass
It's probably not the type of lawn grass you are familiar with. The blades are long and wide.

The lawn looks good with the overgrown is under control, but looking closer, it's a mess. Tiny debris and clippings are tossed around everywhere. The cut edges are not always clean and straight. There's beauty in chaos.

Cherry Red Fruit
An unknown tiny fruit on the ground. The ants and birds don't eat them. I am not that curious to find out what it tastes like, even though it looks appetizing.

A decorative plant, but it has no flower. The trapezoid shape leaves provide an interesting pattern; its main selling point.

Acrobat Ants
It's one of those days. You intentionally work hard to be a team player from the start and everything just turns up as a circus act. - Air Ant

It was just an impromptu thing. I was out in the backyard again and was following trains of ants. The ants were practically on every tree that I saw.

This one particular tree didn't have as many ants as the others, but then this happened. They were working together to bring this piece of something up the tree. Once in awhile, one of the ants would end up in the air.

Scarecrow Weed Grass
There's this dominant weed grass on one corner of the yard. I don't think it's taking over the whole yard. They're just taller than the rest of the lawn and has really long leaf. It looks like a scarecrow.

Fruits of Its Labor
About a couple weeks prior, I made a macro photo of some flowers of an unknown bush. The bush is actually a curry tree. The flowers had became fruits. It changed a lot in in just a few weeks.

Ants on Guard
I found more ants. This time, they were guarding this flower for some reason. I was able to observe them and they noticed me. I took some shots and left, without giving too much of a disturbance. I still haven't found their nest.

They are not just any wedding bands, but they are my parents'. My Dad passed away last year and now my Mom wears them both. I learned what it really meant by "Until death do us part."

Pile of Rubber Bands
Rubber bands are useful to have around. It can reseal a bag of chips or a loaf of bread bag, tie things together, help open a stubborn jar lid, etc.

One thing I noticed that they all look different in different parts of the world. Small and thin ones in Asia and Wide and thick ones in the US.
