Crepe jasmine at The Secret Garden of 1 Utama
Crepe jasmine – The Secret Garden of 1 Utama.

The air was refreshingly invigorating. The grounds were wet from the afternoon rainstorm that stopped just a while ago. We were greeted by these pinwheel-like crepe jasmine as we traipsed around the Secret Garden of 1 Utama with our cameras. The deluge may have washed away their intoxicating fragrance but the water droplets clinging on to their white petals made them look pristine still.

Pelicans of Zoo Negara
Pelicans roosting at the Tunku Abdul Rahman Lake, Zoo Negara.

My first encounter with pelicans was at Zoo Negara. They were such queer looking birds with their large throat pouches and long beaks. A flock of them were roosting in the middle of the lake. Despite their disproportionate appearance, they could actually fly and topped that off with a perfect landing. This image was shot with a Nikon D50 and Nikkor 55-200mm lens at maximum zoom.
