Pictures from weekends away from home at Lambir


Happiest having made the trek from Innoue trail, happier still with the prospect of checking out several waterfalls along the way.


One of the small waterfall which required a short detour from the Pantu Trail, any chance to cool off is an well appreciated break from the trek.


Lambir's ubiquotous palm.


"The attack of the giant praying mantis!" It's surprising how diverse the insect life is at a national park like Lambir ... turn on your porch lights at nite, and they'll all come crawling from all corners of the forests.


A butterfly sucking up some very much needed mineral supplements from rather unsavoury sources (to us humans anyways).


The serene and scenic 1st waterfall along the Latak main trail. And there's a long stretch of slippery sandstone slide going downhill. Caution : slippery when wet.


A beautiful woody mushroom, this thing can grow right in front of your eyes.


An unidentified bloom along the Latak main trail.


Is it a fly, is it a spider, is it bird poop? It's a fly eating bird poop spider!


This mushroom just grew out of a thick tree trunk ... what can be more amazing about life in the damp forest.


Termite mounds.


A shady creek along the Latak main trail, several waterfalls breaks the water's journey downhill.


Latak Waterfall, 30 ft drop into a serene deep green pool, off-limit to swimmers.
