I'm back! I hope you will enjoy these new pictures I have for you. These were taken in a nature lover's paradise called Sebana Cove Marina Resort in Johor Baru, Malaysia. I felt it was close to home because Philippines and Malaysia have many things in common when it comes to the flora and fauna. I saw this huge monitor lizard basking in the sun near the pond. When I knelt closer to take a snapshot, it turned its head without any threat and just stared at me as if waiting to do my job at once. It looked awesome and I've never seen a monitor lizard this big before.
The next picture displays a red dragonfly that remained very still as I took half a dozen pictures of it in different angles. In fact, I saw three other species of dragonflies in that rare moment and was able to capture each of them in pictures as well.

These little winged creatures are often ignored because they're too brisk to avoid you when you get close to them. Yet, if you look at them closely while perching, you will see the fingerprints of God manifested in their beauty. They are nature's little exterminators - their preys are insects like them which are often considered pests by farmers. In our country, the farmers do their best to protect them so they, in turn, by instinct help protect their crops from little devourers. Hmm...little known facts about dragonflies.
