Today Zeehan and Jani joined me for lunch and we decided to picnic
out at Clementi Woods Park... |

Gentle steps led through lots of trees in a sea of green...it's really
a "woods"... |

For some reason, there was a large patch of huge Bird's Nest ferns
on the ground. It was strange but interesting. |

There was a little playground under the tall trees... |

...and the what seems to be obligatory Very Pebbly Reflexology Path
that I've come across in many parks... |

Other than those features, there didn't seem to be much to attract
about the Park. But as we sat through lunch, we saw a pretty female
Scarlet-backed Flowerpecker hovering like a humming bird. At first
I thought it was a large moth! We also heard Orioles, doves and bulbuls,
and Z saw a woodpecker. |

12:45 Clementi Woods Park #7:
We saw strange markings on the grass near the table where we ate our
lunch. Our very own crop circles?....hmmm |

..our table was defaced by people who obviously feel so little sense
of self worth that they need to leave their mark on public property.
We see that Jack and Jill were here, too bad they did just go over
the hill and fall down... |

There were lots of pretty butterflies, attracted by the flower beds
nearby. There's a Painted Jezebel in top mid portion of this photo...what
to do...camera phone cannot take small beasts that fly off when you
come near. |

And here is camera phone trying to take a picture of the changeable
lizard that was poking about a tree near our picnic table. Further
away we could see lots of squirrels bounding about among the trees...

On the way back, we notice more of the markings on the grass. And
they were particularly regular... |

We take a closer look at the signs near each of these lines...Oh...Woodball.
We pondered on what this game might be and hazarded the guess that
it might involve a wooden ball? :-) Lame joke, ok. We promise to check
it out on the internet and see what the game involves. But a great
deal of the park appeared devoted to this game... |

On the way back, at the top of the hill, we take a last look at the
Park, prettily ringed by pink Frangipani trees...Perhaps we should
come back when they are playing woodball. Should be interesting....
