One Afternoon at Fraser's Hills

Last Sunday, we went for a slow drive up Fraser's Hills just to get some fresh air and also to check out the scenery. The hill station was quiet and the rather overcast sky lend it a rather melancholic ambiance...my usual spots for bird watching weren't brimming with activities and so, after a few strolls, we drove home...

 Daffodil-like flowers common along the roadside on the way and at the hills



 A white cluster of mountain dendrobium orchid...



 Flowers of a tree-shrub

 an aroid

 Escapees from the English gardens: a clump of honeysuckle among the bushes near Jelai Bangalow

Flowers of a Medinella plant

 Tiny crimson figs

 Another common roadside plant

 Jelai Bungalow

 View from Brinchang Bungalow



 A Laughing Thrush

Clumps of Eria orchids flowering near the playground 

A fig that attracts birds

 Strange view of an old juniper - doesn't look very Malaysian

The road down - good news is, we don't have to wait at the gates for alternate going up and coming down hours anymore.
