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…

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
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. At low tide you can walk hundreds of meters straight into the sea without getting more than wet feet. The only sign that indicates that there is plenty of life here are all the patterns in the sand…
