A trip to the Singapore Botanic Garden, 21Feb 2009

Well done on the interesting photography.
I'm glad you enjoyed your outing. :o)

I have visited here too, thank you for the memory.

great photos love the black swans also a good one of the turtles

I've never heard of a black squirrel - fascinating. Lovely orchids too.

Thanks for taking us too! I enjoyed it - especially the orchids - they are spectacular.

Thanks for all the comments. The next time I must visit the rainforest at the Botanic Garden. Not convenient with my 4 yr old gal. She wants to be carried after 30 mins :)

Hywel, it might be a dark brown squirrel? Might look black cos of the camouflage.

Spritzhenry, my next trip, I must go and visit the Orchid Centre proper. It was late and I had only less than an hour of viewing time, so had taken these few shots outside.

Enjoyed your photos like Hywel i've never seen a black squirrel before, infact did'nt know there was such a thing as a black one, thanks for sharing your day out with us.

Thank you for the trip, very enjoyable!

Wonderful photos..really enjoyed the blog.The black squirrel looked like a silhouette,and the black swans beautiful..thank you........

Lovely photos Justjan. thank you for the blog. There are black squirrels here in Canada. They live all over Stanley Park in Vancouver. They are bigger than the other squirrels and tend to be a bit more aggresive.

Thanks. I never get to see squirrels in my neighbourhood, monkeys only.

Gilli, I love Vancouver. Nice people, nice food, nice scenery. I was there in 2004, but did not see any squirrels then. I took so many photos. Oh, I remember I saw a big bear when we were travelling to Edmonton by car though. Canada is a wonderful place. I must visit my cousin again. :)

Vancouver is beautiful isn't it JJ. I lived there for many years. If you travelled to Edmonton by car you probably travelled through Kamloops where I live now. Glad you were able to catch sight of a bear....I hope you stayed in the car though...LOL.

Haha Gilli, I was out of the car to take a photo. The bear was huge, black (grizzly?), cute but far away. I couldn't take a good shot. I took a few photos of an Eagle though. alas, I was not using a digital camera then..Edmonton was so cold.. I think it was -30 or -40 degrees C when i was there. I remember my aunt (mum's sis) had a beautiful garden. She had huge peonies in her garden and many plants in her house. I brought back a stem cutting of a vine, but it died. :(

hi jan, like your blog, brought back happy memories.the orchid bit was well worth the entrance fee, had a wonderfull day .....steve

Thanks Steve.:) But I had no time to explore. Only loitered outside cos it was getting dark..but it was a good trip. I'll be back.
