"I go to nature to be soothed & healed, and to have my senses put in order." John Borroughs |
@ Penang Botanic Garden. This place is usually crowded earlier in the morning and later in the evening. |
One could never run out of things to photograph here. |
A wide variety of flowers are found in the garden. But they are not the focus of this trip so I just shot a few along the way to hidden lily pond. |
My main purpose for coming here was to have some solitude and also to indulge in one of my favourite pastime, photography. |
One of the brook near the lily pond. |
I decided to go off the beaten track... |
and explore a little bit. |
I followed a brook upstream, deeper and deeper into the lush rainforest. |
The brook becomes a stream when it rains so I have to constantly keep tab on the weather. |
There is pleasure in the pathless woods but one risk getting lost. I wasn't that adventurous so I didn't wandered off from the brook. |
I decided to stopped here and turned back but I will return to explored further on another day. |
Vine in a knot. |
On of the many insects I came across, a Damselfly. |
This was captured on an earlier trip. |
Malaysian giant ant, Camponotus gigas. These fellas are BIG.. |
Pill millipede, Glomeris connexa. |
Tiny hitchhiker. |
My 18-55mm kit lens are not meant for capturing macro images so I was unable to capture much details. |
