Note : No birds were injured in these shots .... I am a 'Nature Lover' :) 

These baby birds are found in their nest behind my cousin's house in Penang. Heard that they hatched on Valentine's day ... so since I don't know what bird those are... I'll call them Valentine's Birds ;) 

Mr Grasshopper

I was gardening one evening, and found Mr Grasshopper happily enjoying my garden too. This one was HUGE ... I think about the size of index + middle fingers together. I caught Mr Grasshopper nibbling at one of my flowers. Well, help yourself with this one, Mr G ... for I have lots of other flowers which I hope not all will appeal to your taste :P  

Say Cheese :)

The view from the Meranti Park Suites apartment we were spending the night. The following shots are taken at Bukit Tinggi Resort, Pahang, Malaysia. This resort is only 40 minutes away from KL. The Resort is a replica of a collection of buildings from a northeastern village in France dating back to the 16th Century. It also has a golf course, a Japanese Tea House, Botanical Garden & Rabbit Park. It's future plans looks very interesting too! Can't wait till the resort is completed.
 

A very cute tree I found just outside the apartment we were staying.
