Dipping into the Life of B’s Spiky in March photo challenge, this square and spiky entry is a close up shot of the Esplanade Theatre, in Singapore. Affectionately known as the Durian as it resembles the spiky and smelly tropical fruit.

I found them on a small clump of drought-tolerant grass located down the side of the house which is gravel path and fence and no other plants. It’s funny how they sniffed the only greenery out. There was a whole family of […]
There is one more week left of BeckyB’s Square in September challenge with the theme In The Pink. The only rule is that your photograph has to be square. Give it a go! I love playing with my camera especially with a macro lens. It’s all about experimenting and having some fun. I just so […]
