February, 22 2013.
It was a wonderful experience for me to see molting process of striped lynx spider.
It took more than an hour to complete the molting process. At first I thought that this guy is sleeping upside down, because it's keep ignoring me even if I try to get so close. So I carefully set up my camera and tripod near it, and started the observation.

hmm..., hanging upside down while spinning. I keep my camera on and after a while, wow...it started to stretched down and shed it's skin slowly started from the head part followed by the mandible, abdomen, legs and boom a shinny new spider suit.

So here it is guys a collation of a molting process of a striped lynx spider.

Lost My Jpeg Images

February 2013,

A bad thing happens, I lost almost all of my jpeg Image Collections from my computer that I took from 2010-2013 using my wonderful Canon Ixus 100is . 

I don't know when it was actually  happens, but when I notice it; all the images mostly gone from my folders. It was to late to try to recover the images because there was a lot of read and write activity doing in my computer drives.

Yes...I felt sad and anger at the same time, but you  know guys... it won't stop me to take the pictures again. Now started from 2013 I took my pictures using my Canon G12 raw, and backup those images more than one place.
