Thanks to the land owner for allowing us to enter his land. We have to get a permission first from the land owner (as always) and for that, I should thanks to Mr. Ron Eldie for these arrangements. Off course, Mr.Simon Shim is always there 😉 . So.. that was our 6th trips to this area so far (our recent trips was on 12/4/2015). I guess more trips coming soon 😉 . Sorry for my bad English. I can’t speak English actually 😉

Not sure what is this. Found it on the ground with some mites on its body. Noticed the broken legs too

I love the vibrance color of this Odonata

End of year 2013 is around the corner, so I decide to have a macro trip. I had scheduled it before actually. Normally I will go alone. But fortunately there were two of my friends also on their trip for macro. They were on their trip two nights early before me but then heading to KK because of “technical error”. One of my friend forgot to bring his camera’s battery charger. Ouchhh…. Then I met them here in KK. So now it was no longer considered as “My lonely macro trip” as usual. So, following are some of the stories 😉 :

Before heading to Ranau, two of my friends ask me to stop at Masjid Bandaraya Kota Kinabalu for shooting this mosque. — Before heading to Ranau, two of my friends asked me to stop at Masjid Bandaraya Kota Kinabalu for shooting this mosque. Luckly, sunrise has just begun. So, i also don’t want to missed this moment.

There it is.. Masjid Bandaraya Kota Kinabalu with Rays Of Light on that early morning

This is my first shot on that day. Very difficult to find insects due to rainy day. Wild flower

Velvet mite? very small one — Red Velvet mite. Trombidiidae. Very small one

_MG_6128editwatermarksmall — Common cricket

And then, we wait for the night coming for our night macro:

We stayed here and waiting for the night coming. Our next objective was night macro — Nice place surrounded by villages with Mount Kinabalu view
