Spent a long weekend down in Koh Samed in February with the wife and kids.
here's a few pics.
1. Close of up a lizard, taken with a 100mm macro lens with an extension tube, so difficult to focus, depth of field about 1mm.
2. whilst I was photgraphing him a preying mantis landed next to us out of nowhere. I was just about to turn my attentions totaking some pics of it when the lizard ran over and clamped his jaws around it's neck. I got some good pics of it until two bimbo's who kept going on about how the lizard had a sicadda (sp) decided to stop the photo session and rescue the already condemned mantis much to my annoyance.
3. He then went and settled in a bush, where I was able to photograph him again. the mantis was placed on a bush where it was clearly going to spend it's last hours.
4, 5 and 6. In Vietnam i had tried to take some pics of my kids jumping up out of the water, here are some more attempts to capture something of interest.
7. Apparently accorsing to junior this is a salamander. Very friendly, wandering around the pool.
8. Boat moored on the nearby pier at night.
9. statue at the south end of Sai Kaew Beach.
10 and 11. Boats moored during day light hours
