Botanica

_MG_1676 - White Dotted Brown Butterfly

A Sunday morning at the Singapore Botanic Gardens...! A relaxing time strolling in nature, bonding with family... and some fun with my 50mm :)



_MG_1525 - Small Purple Flower
These are really smallish.

_MG_1533 - Red Bud Red Ants
Wondering if this red bud is so juicy to attract so many ants.

_MG_1537 - Green Curve
Bend it like Beckham.

_MG_1539 - Red Ants Puff
You will want to avoid one of these...!

_MG_1547 - Yellow Star
Reminds me of yellow starfish and some sea anemones.

_MG_1548 - Red Pod Bloom
Some "popped"... many to go.

_MG_1551 - Red Tower
Pagoda Flower?

_MG_1567 - Prickly Plum
These buds are prickly to the touch... like cactus's!

_MG_1573 - Yellow Bloom
Looked like a 5-Blade propeller from the yellow submarine.

_MG_1577 - Red Lips
This one is interesting... the whole flower pod hangs upside down towards the ground and I need to squat below it for a shot.

_MG_1580 - Ground Pink
These pinkies bloom either at the very top of the plant or at the very bottom... like these here.

_MG_1584 - Red Cherries
So enticingly red... like cherries.

_MG_1606 - Orchid
Our national flower... Vanda Miss Joaquim

_MG_1612 - Tissue Petals
The petals of this small yellow-tinted flower are so soft and translucent... like tissue paper!

_MG_1614 - Green Mosses
I like green moss.

_MG_1625 - Golden Dragonfly
Year of Dragon... see golden dragon_fly... HUAT AH...!!!

Water/dew/rain droplets always attracts me :)

Hey! What u know! Huat Cai Ong Lai here in botanic gardens!

_MG_1672 - Girl On Bike
Girl on a Bicycle - "The Girl on a Bicycle (1987) has the same carefree spirit as the Girl on a Swing. With her legs lifted free of the pedals in joyful abandon, she wheels down the path of a spiraling hedge." Source: Sculptures

_MG_1680 - White Dotted Brown Butterfly
Ahh... spread your wings for moi.

_MG_1701 - Mini White Trumpets
These are small and cute... like a bunch of little white trumpets!

Blue damselfly by the Ren Yuan water lily pond.
