Queen Alexandra's Birdwing for Saturday Critter

 



The Ornithoptera alexandrae, more commonly known as Queen Alexandra's Birdwing, is a magnificent butterfly species native to the tropical rainforests of Papua New Guinea. This remarkable butterfly holds the title of the largest butterfly in the world, with females boasting wingspans of up to 25 centimeters (almost 10 inches) and males slightly smaller but equally striking.

This past week has been relatively calm for me, though I have found it quite challenging to regain my focus on work. My exercise routine has also suffered as a result. Curiously, I have yet to make a New Year's resolution for 2025. I have resumed reading a Chinese novel in the science fiction genre, despite my usual preference for science fiction in English.

The weekend promises to be quite warm. Joel and I are planning a visit to the National Gallery of Victoria for some bokeh photography. However, Joel's primary objective is to visit the Vietnamese dessert shop in North part of Melbourne's CBD afterwards—such a typical move on his part.

Lake Entrance Cormorant for Saturday Critter

 


The ocean is nice in the bokeh

That was taken on a summer day when Joel and I tried to test out a new Pentax zoom. It ended up being a 5 hour drive one way to this boring town lol

I got a new OLED monitor for my desktop in my room. It turned out there was no speaker function. So I had to get Joel to sort it out today.
