There is a small small pond at Bintan Agro Beach Resort. In this pond are many beautiful lotus blossoms. Here are a few photos
A purple Lotus - with a core to unfold later

Dragonflies everywhere (well, almost)

Unfolding lotus
With stem
I forgot the name of this
This is growing on some sort of tree like somethingM
Then I walked to the sea - during low tide. Several of us were attracted to the low tide area.
Crabs everywhere and escaping as I approached. I found one, though, willing to show off a bit. The eyes (look at the red something)
A closer look
Then off she went - over a pile of small rocks and shells
From behind - but the eyes seem to be focused on me
And this caught my eye as I was walking back to our room
