PalmScapes: FIFA world cup 2010

As I Wander...

Welcome!

Living in tropical Malaysia, we tend to take the hot humid weather, thundery rainstorms and the spectrum of wild evergreen plants as a given.

Recently, I noticed more exotic plants making its way into landscaped home gardens, recreational parks, frontages of shopping malls and

commercial buildings.

Along kerb sides of residential streets and busy motorways, palms, trees and flowering plants make pleasant and interesting fringes.

This is a record of the various species "as I see it" for I am in awe of palms. Hence, my premise for this blog is that the global garden,

i.e. every physical garden (tended or untended), becomes a part of my, simply said, cyber palm garden. ;-)

Please feel free to share your thoughts or comments.

Thank you for visiting!

World Cup 2010 - Fever #3

Well, what an exciting 'capture' this was, in full danger of charging mechanical animals. small and large (busy oncoming traffic). Not that I will do it again in a hurry... perhaps, in another four years time!

But it was worth it. I've completed this task and the prized animals captured on lens for posterity.

Now, let's sit back, relax and enjoy the close up encounters...

and matches - GOAL!

If any country happens to be featured more than once, it's directly due to the awkward angle of the photographer's position and not favouritism ok? Good luck to all the teams!

World Cup 2010 - Fever #2

Further to our sightseeing safari today, am extremely excited to report additional game spotted as follows :-

Needless to say, there are a few more agile creatures that we didn't manage to sight but should be within our target range soon. :-)

World Cup 2010 - Fever #1

Venue : South Africa
Date : 11June - 12July 2010

Everyone's so caught up in it, young and old alike! The day has finally dawned, the hour has arrived.

Soon, it'll be lights, camera, ACTION of the footie kind.

Be it football, rugby or even the Olympics - my 'bet' is on good sportsmanship, great games, superb entertainment and may the best team wins!

In the spirit of the Cup and the festivities surrounding it, I'll make an exception to include the fine species of fauna participating in this exciting (nerve racking?) sport to join the global community in cheering the boys on.
