Photo of a tropical monitor lizard. The specimen below is likely an Asian water monitor (Varanus salvator salvator).
Monitor lizards, also known as biawak or goannas, genus Varanus, are members of the family Varanidae.
Photo taken at Kem Permai, Kuching.
Photo of a tropical dove relaxing during her morning sun-bath. The bird in the photo look like a Bar-shouldered Dove (Geopilia humeralis) or a Peaceful Dove (Geopelia striata).
The photo is shot with 24x digital zoom, so the photo quality is not pleasing.
Close up photo of tropical red Powder Puff Flower or Sensitive Briar. On a closer look, Powder Puff flower look like a Mimosa Pudica flower.
Calliandra haematocephala is a fast growing shrub that can grow tall but also spreads wide. If desired it can be kept smaller by trimming. Interesting enough the leaves close at night.
The buds before the flowers open look like raspberries. This large shrub can
be grown indoor if trimmed and grown in a pot but it will be best if you can grow it outside in a warm climate.
Powder Puffs come in white as well. Power Puff originated from Bolivia.

Chilasa clytia, a common tropical butterfly found in Borneo. If not for the gloomy weather, the photo shoot would be perfect. The Chilasa clytia was just perching still on a flower and the air was still. A steady shot but lighting was a let down.
About a foot away in normal macro mode (not zero macro).
I think the photo above is about 5x lens zoom.
A normal shot.
See my Flickr gallery as well for more tropical butterflies.
