One More Farm’s Day
Yesterday three of my cousins and I spent a yet another day at my cousin’s farm. Going there to prepare dozing amounts of “mashawi” has become a tradition that we’ve been following for a while now. The Farm is not far away from Amman, it is in a place called “Zeinat el-Rboo3” and the view there is wonderful!
Apart from our main mission, which is to prepare and eat mashawi, we enjoy a lot of chatting and hallucinating about a wide range of subjects, basically everything. There were times when we were like 15 guys there, and it was a lot of fun!
Later at night we do other things that vary every time. Sometimes we settle down discussing scientific issues, other times we tell horror stories. Few times did we split into teams and start wondering nearby lands and frightening each other. Yesterday one of my cousins brought a CD full of funny commercial ads and we spent the night watching and laughing.
I also caught a little something before sunset, something I spent the whole evening playing with :P …
This was my first time seeing a live chameleon, and was a rare opportunity to test the animal’s so-called colour changing ability. I placed it between a number of leaves and observed carefully, the thing must have been young and inexperienced because it turned to dark brown and was very stupidly visible! I also placed it on a shiny silver plate and laughed at its attempts to turn silver. That evening, I taught it a life-time lesson: not everything around is green or brown :D
I also put the animal through a number of tests that I’d like to tell you about but I’ll just skip it this time because I don’t want to this blog to turn into National Geographic.
Also, those of you who have been following my latest posts, must have noticed that animal rights associations already have plenty of accusations against me ;)
My cousin Naser wasn’t really happy for the fact that I was experimenting with this thing, and warned me of touching it because some of these produce toxic substances on their skin when they feel endangered. Therefore I “forgot” to tell him that at some time it escaped the container I placed it in, and went climbing the melon that we were eating :F

I liked that animal a lot, so bad I couldn’t take it home with me! I let it go in peace before we left :(
That was one good evening at the farm! For more pictures check my Picture Gallery section, I’ll be posting if anything freaky happens there next times :P

i believe you're developing a new habit: "experimenting animal behavior". Aren't you satisfied with the weird human behavior?
anyways watch out when you go to your cousin's farm, you don't need another skin burn:S
enjoy...

lol, am not developing any habit, am just making sure what we were taught about these animals when were kids is correct ;)
And don’t worry for skin burns, now I stand miles away when the guys try to power up that diesel generator :S

Man, it's so unusual to find animal loving people in Jordan. Growing up when people used to come to our house and find a dog or a cat, they would always be apprehensive and surprised.
I seriously admire your passion and your interest in animals. I enjoyed the pictures so much. Great post. You're my #1 nature loving Jordanian for now (actually you're the only one )
Oh, and I hope you don't mind me introducing you in my next new bloggers post I do :)

lol Qwaider, I have no “passion” for animals or nature, it’s just an interest! I still want to be your #1 Nature Loving Jordanian though :P
I like to post about whatever things I find interesting! During the past month I saw some uncommon animals that we don’t have the chance to see everyday. I enjoyed observing their behavior and I thought posting about them will be fun :D
Anyway, I’d be grateful if you introduced my blog in one of your posts! My blog is barely heard of, though I put so much effort into posting, designing and even coding portions of it. I hardly get comments from my very few readers, which is really disappointing. Any little traffic will mean a lot for me :)
