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.



This is a mudskipper, fishes that are able to crawl onto land and skip about in the mud, hence the name.



Another shot of the mudskipper.



One more shot of the mudskipper.



This crab can climb trees.



This one-eyed komodo dragon was shedding its skin by the swamp.



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

The Tree

I spent almost 6 hours under the natural elements to capture these pictures. Someone I know scolded me for being so "stupid". :(

Here's the shots that I like from that day. You be the judge and let me know if the words of that particular someone is true...

PS. I must state that I do not enjoy the process of sweating under the sun but if I have to, I have to. :P

Masters of the Sky!

Haiz, I have some difficulties sleeping tonight. I assume it's due to my bad mood again. Let's hope that I can solve the problem on hand soon so that I can go on with my life.

Anywayz, I have another set of photos to show. This time it's on our feathered friends. I hope you enjoy these shots.


It's not everyday that I see birds "kissing". So I guess this qualifies as an interesting shot.


Talk about having a punk hairstyle!


I was lucky to have this model posing for me.


Reminds me of the birds in the Disney version of 'Snow White and the seven Dwarfs'.


A Bird of Paradise.


The same Bird of Paradise calling out.


A wild one that I caught at Sungei Buloh.


What you looking at? I was actually quite close to this ostritch. Luckily it did not peck at Nikona.


A colourful bird.


Shadow play. This shot was taken at a tree that I fell in love with. I should post some pictures of that tree here. It would be done soon. :)

The Creepy Ones

I originally wanted to post one article per week. But since I am kind of feeling down. Decided to try to cheer me up by putting up this one.

We see insects everyday of our lives. Here's a small tribute to their beauty (that is, if one is open minded enough to call them beautiful)!


I was lucky enough for this creature to land on my hand. Had to juggle with camera with my left hand to capyure this shot.


Another shot of a butterfly.


I've always wanted to catch a picture of an ant. This was my first attempt.


Kinda got attracted by the barbed wire.


I was pleasantly surprised by the "glow" about the head.


I know spiders are not really insects, but I just had to include this shot. My hands were trembling with fear when I took this shot. This spider was a huge one - I wouldn't want it to land on me or Nikona.


My pride and joy in the insect department. This shot took me two hours of waiting. It was worth the wait.

Flowers (from Singapore Garden Festival 2008)

These are from 2008. I just came across an article on GardenFestval 2010 and it reminded me of these photos which prompted me to really start creating this blog. Can't wait for July!
