Long-tailed Macaque (Angkor Wat, Cambodia)
Vang Vieng, Laos
Approx. 1/4 of a butterfly
Found in the jungle south of Pai; stored in a Pringles container until I could paint it. The edges were a little frayed by then.
When you turn it in the sunlight, an iridescent purple spot flashes on and off.
This pig family lives in a remote mountain village south of Pai, Thailand. Pork is big here.
I was stopping off at a waterfall on the road to Tham Lod (to see a few hundred thousand Pacific swifts funnel into a giant cave to roost for the night) when I came upon this rotund little bird. It was hopping and fluttering around from rock to rock at the base of a series of rapids, apparently catching bugs lurking near the surface of the water.
Mae Hong Son province, Thailand
I'm very sad (very, very sad) to say that I don't have a field guide with me at the moment. The internet is fickle in these parts, but next time I get decent wifi I'll start by perusing the Muscicapidae (if I'm on the wrong track, somebody set me straight.)
