January in Ubin – 20. January, 2009

January would be the best month to visit Ubin. The December rainy season is just over. The island is dry and breezy, skies are blue and the air is bright and clear. You don’t get weather like that too often. Its also perfect for photography.

Clear skies

A superzoom point-and-shoot camera is an ideal tool. A great all-round camera. Here are the pictures we got in a single day outing.
Its a lucky day. Having a camera ready also make you more observant too.

Spiders – 1. January, 2009

There are large ones. I called this one the skull spider.

A word to the arachnophobic (fear of spiders). Ubin forested areas are full of spiderwebs. Wave a stick or branch in front of you to catch them before your face does.
