I love animals and Malaysia has some incredibly wonderful (and often endangered) ones. Photography is another passion of mine; I often try to marry photography and writing but, when it comes to animals, I confess I am more into the photos than the words, preferring silence and simple awe in their m-m-m-magnificent presence.
Here are a few of the animal photos I've taken in Malaysia. A book of my photography--animal and otherwise--along with some poetry can be
read here in its entirety.

"Malamutes" qualify for wild beasties in Malaysia, too (Solo thinks).

Love your portrait of a hornbill! :) And I read through your poems and pictures on blurb.com. Yes, it's sad that many of our wonderful animals are being threatened. Wonderful post!

What beautiful photographs! Those silver leaf monkeys are just delightful, aren't they? I'd love to visit the butterfly and bird parks.
ReplyDeleteDear Cynthia,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the beautiful pics and introduction to the wildlife of Malaysia. I really enjoyed it. When I went to Brazil a few years ago, I had the opportunity to see a bit of the wildlife there, among those animals, I also visited a butterfly sanctuary. It was beautiful. Best regards to you. Ruby
how cool is this? I hope to do the The Orang Utan as my o
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful pictures. I love that butterfly. I would love to learn more about photography, but just haven't gotten around to it yet.

Great photographs. Love the hornbill :)
ReplyDeleteCool photos and M words.
ReplyDeleteI loved all the photos! Those are some brave boys with the monkeys. I was in Singapore and was terrified of coming across wild monkeys when I took a hike through the nature reserve. I've heard they can be so violent. The ones in Thailand seemed much more approachable though, maybe because they were smaller.
ReplyDeleteHave fun with a-z.
That butterfly is gorgeous Cynthia!
