| WHITE LOTUS |
Relatively cool today but it's not the heat, it's the humidity that's the killer and makes you conscious that you're breathing, forcing yourself to breath almost, especially on the tube. But great relief is to be found in the Botanic Garden of Singapore. Within its extensive grounds is an urban oasis, free from the noise and heat of the busy city. There's Swan Lake full of fish and terrapins, all thriving in the warm water. The lotus above is so pure in its whiteness; and if you look closely at the top petal you can see a flying insect with bi-planer wings that sat there for a while.
The variety seems endless and we spent a good time there until a sudden downpour that lasted only about 10-minutes while we took shelter in a kind of a cave with a waterfall pouring down outside.
