For me the downside of living in Singapore is wall to wall people. But the upside is that there are many quiet places in and around Singapore which provides the requisite therapy. One of those places is Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserves. Filled with amazing wildlife - it is the perfect escape for me, camera and tripod.
Sungei Buloh - a pleasant escape

A monitor lizard headed the other way
Here, just chillin' a bit
With forked tongue
and a face
Herons
A lot of mangrove flowers and here with a bee
Another view - different flower
A pink sort of backbone for a mangrove flower
An egret
and jumping fish
and even talking fish
