Amazing sunrise Reward for early risers A fresh beginning.

From its lofty perch Eyes scanning the far distance A proud brahminy.

They buzz near my ear Waiting for a chance to strike Flying draculas

Oh my cicada! Your overwhelming silence I long for your song.

Climb, grasshopper Don’t ever argue with birds You won’t live to win.

It stops in its track when the skink sees me coming A brief shared moment.

Rarely seen eagle Perched on a tree in Miri I clicked with great joy.

Female Asian Koel Welcoming the rising sun Shyness discarded.

Its colours stand out Betraying its quiet presence I zoom in on it.

A barge heads for port As a tern flies homeward bound All call it a day.
