  • FOTD – Tropical Flowers

    FOTD – Tropical Flowers

    Now I’ve dug deep into my archive again and found some plants that are typically tropical. All the plants seen here were photographed during my travels in Borneo, Malaysia. Above is the Clock Vine (Thunbergia mysorensis) that I found in Kota Kinabalu Park, Sabah. I have tried to identify the names of the flowers below,…

    Bornean Green-Magpie

    Sometimes, you find forgotten treasures when you look through your photo archive, and this is one that I would like to share: the Bornean Green Magpie. The pictures were taken in 2016 in Kinabalu Park, Borneo, and are not that great, but the bird is so beautiful and well worth showing anyway. The Bornean Green-Magpie…

    LAPC – Black & White or Monochrome

    That was Then…

    Below are some photos from Mantanani Island that I selected from my archive. The year was 2016. I was on a journey, one of the many trips I’ve made over the years, always together with my husband. Having had the opportunity to travel is a valuable gift. So many precious memories of people I’ve met…

  • KL Bird Park – A Look Back

    KL Bird Park – A Look Back

    Something strange has happened to my computer. I no longer have access to any of my over thousands of photos that I’ve saved in different folders. Whatever I try to open it says the file is corrupt! The only images I can see are the ones in WordPress media library, i.e. photos I’ve already shown.…

  • Joy…glädje och sorg

    Joy…glädje och sorg

    Nu var det ett tag sen, ett tag sen dessa bilder togs liksom ett tag sen senaste inlägget. Har ändrat layout, funderat lite på min site och tvekat mellan språken, engelska eller svenska. Har inte kommit fram till något vettigt mer än att jag saknar bloggen. Så nu är jag tillbaka, förhoppningvis inte på ruta…

  • Today’s Memorable Moment

    This amazing animal knows nothing about zoos or fencing. Orangutans are found only in Borneo and Sumatra, and Sarawak has the wild population of these intelligent ginger apes. I’m very grateful to have had the opportunity to meet these wild animals in real life. And I believe the quote below by Jane Goodall includes true…

  • In the Middle of Nowhere

    Here we are again, in the middle of nowhere, where the deserted beach stretches for several miles.
