Little Black Cormorant, Phalacrocorax sulcirostris
Little Black Cormorant, Phalacrocorax sulcirostris.
Slow down… Spend some time admiring the beautiful jade green eyes of this Little Black Cormorant.
See beyond the dull feathers, look into the eyes and reach the soul.
Can you see beyond the surface? Can you appreciate the subtle beauty?

Eastern Spinebill, Acanthorhynchus tenuirostris
Eastern Spinebill is a type of honeyeater. There are quick to fly from flower to flower. Quite a challenge to photograph. The flower is a Crimson Bottlebrush, Callistemon Citrinus. Picture taken in Australian National Botanic Garden.

若无清风吹，
香气为谁发?

If there is no wind,
the fragrance of the flower will not be transmitted (and appreciated).

Bodhi Nite 2008: Seeds of Tomorrow, Blossoms of Yesterday.
Intriguing theme for Bodhi Nite 2008. Not quite sure what is the message behind this year’s theme.
A simplistic view of the law of Karma, our action will produce a reaction. The seed that we planted yesterday, may blossoms tomorrow. Is Bodhi Nite 2008’s theme consistent with the law of Karma?
I just bought this flower from the florist today. It is fresh and beautiful.

Return to Sunnataram for Winter Retreat with Unibuds. Much needed time off to recentre myself. Wonderful feeling to be surrounded by nature, friends, and good spiritual teaching. It was a healing trip… Thank you, Unibuds and Sunnataram for hosting this event.

Crimson Rosella, Platycercus elegans.
This photo was taken during this year retreat. Using Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 L IS USM Lens and the same canon 350D camera.
Below is a photo of a Crimson Rosella taken in Sunnataram Winter Retreat 2007. Same camera, but using a Tamron 70-300 lens. I like to think that there is some improvement in my photograph. Not sure if it was the lens, or did my photography skills improved?

Landing safely on my lens
Taking a bite... Does my thumb look like a piece of dried bread?
Me and nature… I am at home. Can’t do what I am not…
