THIS is a selection from the many photos
that I have taken during my rambles in the bush for more than
15 years. Through all these years I have focused mainly on butterflies because they are colourful,
but I have also photographed unusual creatures like
the stalk-eyed fly
and the ant-mimicking spider.
I have also caught some ants kissing. The photos in the
Photo Gallery
are arranged in these categories:
Butterflies,
Malaysian Moths,
Dragonflies and Damselflies,
Other Insects,
Spiders on the Web,
Frogs and Toads,
Lizards and Snakes,
Rainforest Fungi, and the latest addition,
Wild Gingers.
The photographs are the reason why I built this website. And I have added some "extras" such as the
stories,
"A Tiger That Flies",
"A Fishy Frog Tale",
"The Trilobite Larva" and
"The Archduke",
a butterfly species that's sexually dimorphic. In the
Photography section,
"My Butterfly Shooter"
deals with the tools and
techniques that I use. There are accounts of my treks to
Mount Kinabalu,
Malaysia's highest mountain, and to
Mount Trusmadi,
Malaysia's second highest mountain, in the
Treks and Travels
section. I have also included an account of my visit in September, 1997 to
Doi Inthanon,
Thailand's highest mountain, and to an
elephant training centre.
That, in brief, is what you can expect to find at this site.
Step right in to get a better picture of what's on display in my nature corner.
The Photo Gallery
is a good place to start. The pages may take some time to load as they contain many photo scans.
Please bear with me.
