This elegant juvenile pit viper was on a low plant beside the walking trail in the jungle at Bako in Sarawak. It was almost defying gravity, seeming to float. I was entranced by it…but did not get closer than 1.5 meters just in case….they do bite. Have a fabulous weekend

HFF. Stumbled across this gorgeous boy sitting on a fence in a National Park in Sabah, Borneo. I love the crazy appearance of proboscis monkeys. Have a lovely Friday and a fantastic weekend. Stay safe and healthy too…xxxx

In natural environment. Dominant male proboscis monkey. Bako National Park, Sarawak. Malaysia. I find these animals totally fascinating...they look like a patchwork assemblage of various other animal parts....or like stout gents in waistcoats with big boozy noses!

Mother and child. Wild orangutans, Semenggoh Nature Reserve, Sarawak. Thanks and best wishes to you all at this festive season.

Wild pig in the forest. No crop. Bako National Park, Sarawak, Borneo.

In the 80s and 90s I spent a lot of time in Aceh, Sumatra. There were no tourists. Wild orangutans lived in the nearby jungle. I would walk alone in the mornings seaching the forest canopy for orangutans waking up in their tree top nests. Usually I had no camera.One lucky morning, when I had a simple camera, a female came down close to me. I had bananas for my breakfast, and I put them down on the ground. Then I walked a little way off, and sat down to watch her. These are some of the photos I took. Scanned from old photos...

I have never seen such an extraordinary plant...it looks almost artificial! It climbed about 60 meters up a huge jungle tree.
