The City


Believe it or not this is the view of the city from Marina Bay Sands. I intentionally wanted to show the city in light and colour so i left the shutter open and did a quick swivel in a panoramic fashion.

Otters @ Sungei buloh

You would have to guess to figure out what this is but its an otter. The pictures suck but i am pretty darned pleased just with havign a chance to see them. With that I can say i have seen the big 3 at buloh, the Eagles (look further down) the crocodiles (previous post) and the otters. I actually took the day off work for this. Aside from the monitor lizards i am not happy photographically wise with the pictures but hey i saw the otters!!
Thanks to my father in law!
As always most of the pics have been resized or cropped for posting purposes.


Brahminy Kite - i think its a sub adult but i could be wrong.

One day...

26yrs ago when i was all of 12 i skipped school. My brother had booked a chalet in Changi for us and while I was supposed to go to school i did not. Instead I pinched my Dads Bino's and hoofed it to Changi Village where i boarded a little craft of dubious floatability and made my maiden voyage to pulau ubin, beginning a relationship that continues till today.
In those days you didnt have a million biycles roaming the streets of the little village, you had a million dogs and more than a few motocycle rental places. I had 3 dollars in the pocket of my primary school uniform $2 was spent on the boat rides there and back and 50cents was spent on a bottle of coke at the small coffee shop at the end of the jetty (that is still there today)
Today was special for me because i got to take Caitlin on her first trip, she enjoyed herself and we walked for at least 2 hours on tracks and trails. She was full of excitement for birds, bugs reptiles and even fish. Showing her wild boar tracks and 15mins later having her point them out to me was really a moment i will remember for a long time. I hope I have started her on a lifelong relationship with this special place, in her time she will see changes we can only imagine and sometimes fear but I hope she will always have today with her.
There are perfect moments in life, i know this cause today with Caitlin was a perfect moment.



She saw this house and fell in love, i was telling her i used to sit where she was standing and watch them build it.

Oh and she wants to go back!

I would have killed to have had my macro lens with me.

Mixed bag


We went Kite Flying today, the girls and their cousins the Machados. That little dog is zorro Pepper's brother. I think everyone had a good time.
Caitlin's attempt at a Heart, it turned out more like an S i reckon.

This is a perfect example of my 3 girls. someone is always falling down or getting up in this bunch
