Imported Trees

After slightly more than twenty years since these trees were planted 'instantly', they now reach a magnificent height and cover that just passing underneath its enveloping leaves makes one feel like entering a cave. These 'angsana trees were imported from Singapore during the early tree planting campaign carried out by the local authority (BDA) to make its dual carriageways look green, cool and beautiful.

Flowers of Bintulu

I love the intermixture of colours in this frangipani plant . They come in various colours from white to red or in many combinations of yellow pink and red. The flowers are bunchy and last a couple of days, giving a sweet fragrance all day or nightlong. There is a small collection of different species of this plant family at my eco-farm here at Bintulu.

No Sitting, please.

Kidurong Bay

This is a view of the Kidurong Bay from the rocky beach of Tanjung Batu, Bintulu. In the far background is the Kidurong Heavy Industry area which nestles the largest LNG plant in the world ( in a single location). The distance from the beach to the tip of the Bay of Kidurong is about 10 km.

Roadside tree with flowering orchids

After a slight rain in the early morning and driving towards Jalan Sultan Iskandar Traffic Junction at JKR office from Sungei Sebiew road ,I was taken aback by this showy wild epiphyte orchid species which bore a wonderful spray of flowers. This type of wild orchids does this exuberant show very occasionally and considered myself lucky to have come across its performance.

Picnic spot at Taman Temasya, Tg.Batu Beach

Three days ago, Sunday(9th March), I took time off to breathe in some fresh sea sprays at the town only proper public beach. The waves pounding on the rocks , the swaying of the coconut leaves and the cries of the cicadas on the trees kept me in touch with nature momentarily.
