Rambutans!!!


That's me in front of the rambutan tree......so proud of that tree....it makes me happy....because I can eat so many of the fruits and shared it with our friend, family and neighbors too.

Took a photo under the rambutan tree.....looking up!:)

In just a few seconds I managed to take a photo of this bird on the tree! So cute! Not sure of the name though.....will have to do a research about it hehehe.....

Even though most of the rambutan fruits are at this point all bright red in color, there are some that are still green, yellow and orange in color.....so you'll be get to see the transformation it's colors here.

The weaver ants made a few homes for themselves up on the rambutan tree .... you can see one of their homes at the above photo I have shown here....made from the rambutan leaves itself....the weaver ants are so creative!! But I was scared of them!!! Their stinging bite can create small bumps on your skin, ouch! It hurts pretty bad when they bite you....so I had to be careful when plucking the rambutans off the tree. This time of the year, the whole tree was full of the weaver ants.....not sure where they came from.....out of nowhere!! They weren't there last year.....and it makes it difficult for us to pluck the fruits when they are around.....

That's how many rambutans we managed to collect in 1 hour! hehehehe....
