Good morning *yawn*... An early start today, and what a wondrous sunrise!
This special moment of pink and blue only lasts about 5 minutes, and
it's not often that there is just the right combination of cloud structure
and clear sky for this beautiful display (I should know, having tried
to take photos of enough sunrises). So if you are lucky enough to
see one, do stop to enjoy it :-) |

not many may know that there are poignant tombstones on the sides
of Fort Canning Green. This one was a tombstone of a little boy that
died at age 11. |

Heritage trees abound in the Park. This is the Ear-Pod Tree, truly,
I kid you not. That's what it says on the sign. |

right at the top of the hill is a reservoir but there is a gate across
the steps and we cant go there. |

The palm valley is full of ...well...palms! Little bats often roost
under palm leaves. Couldn't find any today, but am in a rush and anyway,
can't take a picture of them with the phone :-(

Wow - really Ria?? I have never seen them - or never looked
really - show me one day??

Never seen the little Tent Bats? Wow, they are quite common.
See them all the time at Lower Peirce esp, but also at Botanics
and other palmy places. I bet they are even on the palms along
the centre divider of our highways. We should start bat study
when the tide is not low. |

And animals!! Especially at night - I have seen some owls here!!

Cool! We must go and check it out at night then...but be sensitive
not to disturb other possible "wild" life that no doubt will
infest the romantic nooks and crannies :-) |
