Northbound

I got to spend the holiday weekend with my boyfriend. After getting home from Atlanta around midnight Friday, we headed north to my hometown to spend the weekend catching up on some fall activities. It was a nice change of pace for the both of us. 

Stillness

There is stillness in nature.

S.E.A. Aquarium

Today my aunt and uncle brought us to the Aquarium at Sentosa! We started off with a super cheesy typhoon show and ended with some amazing jellyfish. If I were to choose one animal to photograph for the rest of my life, I would have to pick the jellyfish. With every movement of its long tentacles it changes its entire shape. I could stand there and photograph them all day long! Just don't ask me to jump into a tank with them. 

Orchid Garden

If there's one thing I love to photograph, it's flowers. So it goes without saying that I was in photograph heaven when my auntie decided to take me and Sarah to the Orchid Garden yesterday. I don't think that I've ever seen so many different breeds of Orchids in one place before. There were the standard orchids that one may see in a nursery or at the florist and then there were strange breeds of orchids in different colors and shapes. 

It's places like this that make me think of my mom. I know she would have loved to be there with me admiring the different breeds and critiquing the presentation. 

Treetop Walk

Today I we went to the Treetop Walk. I must say that I was beginning to feel my energy lagging as I woke and got ready to leave a bit earlier than usual. At home I am very used to waking up early to get to work by 7am, but here I have become accustomed to rolling out of bed at 9 to leave around 10:30-11. It was good to get out of the house a little earlier today. It began to rain later in the day, so it was good that we had an early start. 

We walked along the tree tops, daring ourselves to look down at the leafy ground. We paused to look at the signs, pointing out the various forms of nature we thought we saw. The signs suggested that there would be frequent monkey sitings, but no.
