  • The Gecko Saw Me

    In response to The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: “Eye Spy.” I must have been terribly close to the gecko because the gecko responded to my presence. Look at that eye! It was checking me out from head to toe. I must have been terribly brave because I held my ground and got more than…

  • SL-WEEK 22 : Transparency

    In response to Sylvain LANDRY, SL-Week 22: Transparency. Not much beats enjoying wine from a crystal glass in a pool. Who would have thought that the geometry of the wine glass could be stable enough for it to balance perfectly in water? I also enjoy gazing through the water waves and noting how different square…

  • Travel Theme: Mellow – Water Monitor Lizard at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve, Singapore

    In response to Where’s my backpack? Travel Theme: Mellow. On a sunny afternoon, the water monitor lizard was lazing around. All four of its legs sprawled over the terrain, almost saying, “I am going slowly, there is nothing on the agenda today.” Relaxing in the calm little patch looks wonderful! Have you seen a large…

  • Cee’s Odd Ball Challenge: 2015 Week 32 – Crayons in a restaurant?

    In response to Cee’s Odd Ball Challenge: 2015 Week 32. Why are there crayons in a restaurant? The crayons are obviously for customers to draw and colour because there is a piece of paper provided to every customer. Some of the drawings are being displayed on the walls. Still, I could not help wondering why there…

    In response to Cee’s Photography Which Way Challenge tag. Today, let us take a walk across Cavenagh Bridge, the oldest bridge over the Singapore River.

  • Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: Things with Engines or Motors – The Daily Mode of Transport

    In response to Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: Things with Engines or Motors. The daily mode of transport for many staying in the capital, Bangkok, Thailand, is the motorcycle. The motorcycle gets one through massive traffic jams and well into alleys, right in front of one’s house. The motorcycle is also more affordable to own,…

  • Man in the white coat lured me in

    In response to The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: “Creepy.” I can feel Michelle Weber as I read about her stumble into the stacks of plastic babies. Indeed, creepy. I have had such encounters before – bumping into something eerie or disgusting in the middle of a happy day. In my case, I met with…
