Swamp Things

These are really creatures that emerge from the swamp. All these were captured at Sungei Buloh, Singapore. I am particularly interested in the mudskippers.

A tortise, but I have a feeling that this caption is not required.

At Chong Pang, Yishun. This place used to be a farming community. Decided to do a close up and I liked the expression shown on the face.



Last but not least, a simple work of art. Strange but these pieces of egg-shells do add some joy and colour to the garden. I only hope it is not the work of vandals. Hehe...
