Grey Herons In Bukit Jalil, Selangor
Bukit Jalil, providentially carved out from virgin jungle
once, has become a santuary.
For the regulars who go there at early dawn to exercise in
well-mantained lakes and manicured gardens, it is a restful and pleasing place.
For the grey herons, it is rich feeding ground. The lakes
are stocked with fish.
The caretaker of one restrooms observed that the herons come
to feast from eleven in the morning to late noon.
I was waiting with my Nikon D700 and a tele-len.
The herons came. There were 12 of them, arriving separately,
cautiously, gorgeously.

At Andaman In Langkawi Malaysia
At the north-western tip of Langkawi island is a tiny resort facing the Andaman Sea.
The surrounds are exquisite.

Watercolour Stories In Paintings
A colour is a beautiful thing. So is a texture. And a brush line. And a shape.
When they are together in a flow of energy, I imagine that they would have a story to share.
Here are some individual stories, each in a watercolour way.

Pictures From The Garden
There is a botanical garden in Bukit Tinggi in Selangor, Malaysia.
At 3,500 ft above sea level, mist from Genesis covers it now and then to bring colours to the plants.
Here are some that caught my interests.

The Power Behind Thinking With Clarity
There is a powerful benefit that rewards the person who can use the right word in the right place.
Specifically the context surrounding HOW TO THINK and WHAT TO THINK.
What is the GAP between these two word: HOW and WHAT?
How does clarity of thinking reap tremendous benefits for the practitioner?

Finding The Spark That Fires You Up
Sir Ken Robinson speaks to the heart.
At the heart is a desire to be happy doing what one does best and be financially comfortable at the same time.
Somewhere between doing what one does best and being paid for doing what one does best, lies an important link.
And what is that?
In these two videos, I found some interesting insights and life-tips.
See if you find relevance for yourself or for your kids in these interviews with Sir Ken.

From Doodle Zap To Drawing POW!
The doodler engages in a fantastic process of tapping into the reservoir of the imagination.
Doodlers are more happy more times when they are at it than when they are not. It looks like a recipe for longer happy times!
Doodling leads to drawing. Period.
There is a type of drawing that rewards the practitioners even more.
Watch and find out!

The Zap From A Doodle
I discovered doodling as a tool years ago to help to generate new shapes for myself. This method has many elements of surprises because it takes the imagination into unfamiliar visual territory. The result is a drawing that is fresh and interesting.
I am very glad to stumble upon another person who has taken this tool to another level. She does it it with an intellectual backing that is so persuasive.
Explore the perceptual benefits from watching this video on Sunni Brown.

TAPS Recalls That Forgotten Feeling
Some tune stays long after.
What has it that lingers in the deep part?
When it comes back, the same feeling re-awakens.
Melissa Venema plays TAPS ( Il Silenzio/ Silence). and the familiar feeling returns....
