Nice little stinker.

Next week I have to make a trip to Singapore to renew my Visa. I see they have a very nice botanic garden. I'm hoping to have time to go there with my camera!!

Hi from Singapore. I spent the afternoon at Singapore Botanical Gardens. Hope I got a few good ones. I came across this dragon. This photo is with iphone. All I had with me was the macro lens. What would you have done? Would you have gotten close? I went around the other side and got within a meter! Hope the photo turns out.

I know it's not a bug but I shot this while I was shooting bugs in Singapore.

Here is the komodo dragon that I ran across in the Singapore Botanic Gardens. All I had with me was my macro lens, so I had to get very close. My heart was racing, and after I took the photos and stepped away I was out of breath. I have no idea if dragons bite, but ignorance breeds fear!
