Galungan


Today is Galungan. I missed the ceremony in the morning, but in the afternoon I went for a walk in the village and saw many elegant penjors.

Giant Passion Fruit



It was a shock to see such a giant passion fruit! The flesh is edible, too! It tastes like marrow!

Butterflies



I spotted these lovely butterflies several times during my walk on the trail leading up to the summit of Batukaru Mountain. I have not identified it but was told that a literal translation of its name from Indonesian would be "paper butterfly". Perhaps it is because of the large size of their wings, their movements are very slow, as if it is in slow motion.
