Infrared insect

I was out for a short walk in the neighborhood exploring my newly bought full-spectrum converted camera. On my way back I saw this nice flower with its little guest. To my surprise the insect didn't move when I approached, but allowed me to take this photo.

Sunk in Thought

These guys were quite common where we stayed on Koh Lanta. This fellow is sitting on top of a car in the shade of a big tree. In my eyes, it looks like it is deeply sunk in thought.

Camouflage Crab

On Koh Lanta the beach was full of these little fellows. They were extremely fast and quite shy, so they weren't that easy to spot. With slow movements and quite a lot of zoom, I finally managed to capture this one in the frame.

Hermit crab out for a walk

Klong Jark Beach on Koh Lanta was full of life. Most of the animals were quite small and hid in the sand when we approached. This little fellow was a brave one and let me snap a picture before continuing on the morning walk.

Those jaws...

I don't know how you feel, but those jaws looks terrifying to me. There's something ancient and prehistoric about these huge reptiles that keeps me fascinated. I wouldn't want to brush its teeth though...

Close encounter

I have no idea what the name of this butterfly is. But I think it's beautiful with that pattern and those different shades of blue. I took this picture during our backpacking trip in Malaysia.

Matching Colors

I just love how this frog perfectly melts into its environment. I wish i knew what kind of frog it is. This one lives in Penang, Malaysia.

Feeling somewhat blue

Sometimes you feel under the surface. Sometimes you feel you can't breathe. Sometimes you feel somewhat blue.

Just passin' by

Those teeth look rather nasty to me. I'm glad I didn't meet this one in the ocean. Instead I saw it through the wall of a glass tunnel. It seemed quite oblivious of me though. Just passin' by...

Plenty of fish in the sea

There are plenty of fish in the sea. This isn't the sea, however. This is Aquaria KLCC. At least I think it is... I'm not really sure why, but I rather like this photo. I haven't noticed until recently though, that there's a fish that doesn't follow the stream. Hm, how could I have missed that..?

Same but different

I like zebras! They are so photogenic. For some reason, I prefer their photos in black and white. I can't imagine why... :)

BW Animal

I just love zebras! They are so photogenic! Unfortunately I've only seen them at the zoo. :( I would love to see them in the wild some day, in their natural environment. I think I need to plan a trip to Africa...

Snack Time

This colorful little bird was our house guest a few years ago. We had a family of bluetits living in the floor of our balcony and this one flew back and forth with food for the nestlings.
