About ianframe

I have worked and travelled extensively in Middle East and S.E. Asia for many years. I now live in Pattaya, Thailand. I am a keen photographer, and carry my Nikon with me everywhere. The camera is fitted with a 60mm f2.8 macro lens. Since I don't like carrying, changing or buying lenses, I use this same lens for everything. Other interests include wildlife, Chinese ink painting, Tai Chi, jogging, and composing funny verse.

Wild Things 407

Wild Things 406

There were lots of red bugs to be seen but not much else. However, these bugs make good subjects since they have large glossy eyes and a matte non reflective body surface. I spotted an interesting small red insect on … Continue reading

Wild Things 405

I was a bit more successful this morning – I even found a lizard. He was located in a precarious position and had difficulty turning. I also spied a spider and butterfly. And of course there were the usual photogenic … Continue reading

Wild Things 404

I had another uneventful blog walk. I found the usual red bugs, a few bees, and a yellow bug with black spots. Much of the roadside vegetation has recently been cut down – so some heavy rain is needed to … Continue reading

Wild Things 403

I did not find much wildlife this morning. Yesterday’s caterpillars had disappeared (perhaps eaten by a bird). There were the usual red bugs and bees to be seen – but little else. I did catch sight of a butterfly – … Continue reading

Not Another Sunset 10

Every evening just before sunset I take a stroll along the beach. It is a great time of the day. There is always lots of activity taking place, and of course it is a bit cooler. I usually take my … Continue reading
