Doggie Smiles

I love my dogs, and they love me the same. Here are some recent shots of them. Tiky is rather shy in front of the camera, and tries best to avoid it.

Titu on the other hand, will pose for you. He's really photogenic as well!



I just love that smile of his!



Happy New Year everyone!

New Blog Title from 2012

Hey Guys! Wishing all my fellow readers a Merry Christmas and a Splendid New Year! Before the New Year starts, I'd like to announce that I'll be changing my blog's name from 'Creatures in the Wild' to 'Photography & Me'. The contents published on my blog will also have a slight change. All this while, for 4 years, I've been posting mainly about wildlife, nature and animals. However, Photography & Me won't be a blog just about these; I'll be posting and talking about all kinds of photos that I take, instead of sticking to one particular type. In addition to that, I may also be talking about my life- something that still remains a secret to all of you guys.

In short, Photography and Me will be a blog about my photographs and myself. I hope you guys enjoy it!

Lakeside, Singapore (Archived)

I was looking through my old photos of Singapore when I realized there were some shots of Lakeside that I hadn't uploaded. These photographs were taken from Lakeside in April 2011, during my summer break.

A stretch of condominiums by the lake... It must be a beautiful view for the residents living in there!





Can you spot the MRTs (trains)?



A random shot of the wide canal along which I walked home.



Oh God, I just miss Singapore! :(
Anyway, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, everyone!

Heartless Humans

Sorry for not posting anything for quite a while! There was nothing much to post about either, until a few days earlier, when I found this dead snake on a rock along the road. It was a small snake, only about 20cm in length. The large eyes, and the white patches near its mouth parts tell that it is probably a juvenile rat snake or racer, but definitely not a venomous species. It had evidently been hit to death by humans, as there was a large wound on its neck.

So another snake had been killed, this one too a harmless one. I just don't get the people here! How could they be so heartless to kill such a harmless and innocent creature! Ugh! I buried the snake nearby and left feeling hopeless for these poor snakes, because the attitude of these local, illiterate people won't change.

There's a Peacock in my Backyard!

Yep, like the title says, there was a peacock in my backyard! I was sitting down on my balcony when I noticed a large bird walking through my backyard. I initially thought it was my neighbor's pet turkey, but no, it was a peacock!

I ran after the big bird with my camera. Pity I wasn't holding on to my zoom lens, so I couldn't manage to snap any decent shots. The peacock started running off upon seeing me, and I got a mug shot of it flying up on to the top of my neighbor's house.

I was extremely surprised to have seen a peacock (this one is probably a female; peahen) in my area. Well yes, the peacock is the national bird of India, but they were never found in these areas. But upon asking my parents, I figured out that this particular individual was probably one that sneaked out from the nearby Hindu temple, where they grow peacocks. So you can't really call it 'wild'!

Just Another Night Walk

I went for a small walk around my house at night hoping to spot some nocturnal creatures. I hadn't done any hunting for weeks. I came across a cute little tree frog on a really nice green fern.

While the amphibians and other nocturnal animals got up, several diurnal creatures had settled down to sleep, like this Changeable Lizard with a really, really long tail.

Dragonfly Black & White

Sorry for the delay! I had been busy with school work and stuff. I haven't been shooting much recently, and my camera rarely exits the cupboard nowadays. However, there is just one shot I took of a dragonfly as it rested on a metal wire. I've been inspired by Vera to do black & white photography as well.

I might not post any photos for a while, but I will be back before long! Have a great weekend guys!
