Blue Ducks Marching, originally uploaded by Araleya.

New variety of ducks, all wings are blue...

Its not so sharp because I took this shot from the running motorcycle. In order not to miss the herons site and terrace paddy field, I parked my bicycle, went to local grocery, ordered some drink and asked for someone who will drive me motorcycle. The man stopped playing badminton and drove me. He used to work in travel agency so he could take me to where I wanted and explained me well, and stopped or slow down motorcycle for me to take photo..

Sun was almost set, light was too delicate and I couldnot make any shaprer than this and it was just one shot...

(added).. For blue wings, I was told that it is the mark by the owner... to check their ducks. And they walked ahead leading their owner back home

Tatakut the Rice Grains Protector

Protector, originally uploaded by Araleya.

At evening, paddy field in Ubud, Bali is so lively with lots of people, birds, and flags as if there were festival. I stopped mountain very often to take shots, parked it and walk through the small dike of paddy field. It took sometimes for me to understand why the boy stood still there.. He played something in his hands and for a while he rewinded the little wheel hanging on the pole that made some noise, the flags and the human-like model (tetakut) were all tools to chase away the birds from taking the rice grains.

Later I knew from the local man that.. rice production is not sufficient for consumption though Bali is so green, it still needs to import rice, so its very essential for farmers to work almost whole day to chase away the birds..

He is the boy at work...
