Check this guy out!! Monster of a katussa - or for you suddhas (or Kalu-puka suddhas as the description may seem fit) it's more commonly known as a Garden Lizard. Believe it or not - our cat Snowy carried this guy in - in his mouth! I obviously didn't get that close to it. 
Check out the length!!
He's the cat who brought that katussa into the house. Bit of a weird cat this one.. Got one eye that's blue and the other one that's brown. And then to top things off.. Apparently one can't say if it's male or female! Cos it seems to have genitalia of both! Quite a character none the less (might be due to being a hermaphrodite).. If it sees anything moving it immediately pounces on it. Cockroaches, geckos you name it! It loves to go underneath the kitchen sink and catch the cockroaches there.. It'll catch them, hold them in its mouth n then put them down to see if they're dead. The second they move - plop! In its mouth again!! And then sometimes it lets things go, n then gives himself (or herself) a challenge.. Lets them go a little far away.. N RUNS after them to catch them again.. Hehe.. Very simply called 'Kitty'..
Talaal woke up one morning n decided to play around with my camera. Found this woodpecker just outside our window. 
Like I was saying - he was playing around with the camera - n he set the ISO to 800. Hence the graininess. We've all gotta learn somehow!
The benefits of a super-long zoom.. 
This squirrel just loved to pose he said :)
The damage that the woodpecker did.. 
This pic was taken last morning.. It was a poya so the whole area was nice n quiet.. A whole bunch of magpies just descended on us
Another one of them - looking for breakfast
Thought
This spider had spun its intricate web in the verandah - between one of the chairs and the pillar.
Another katussa - just love the way I've been able to focus on it and get as much detail as the scales on its body!! No I'm not praising my own tail here - I'm just in surprised at how the pic came out :)
