Random Nature Shots at Gardens at the Bay

During the school holidays we finally had the chance to visit Garden at the Bay at  Marina South. It has been open for more then a year  but we waited until now to visit as we didn’t want to jostle with the opening crowds.  During our visit there we didn’t go into the domes but toured the outdoor areas instead. The kids are not really into fauna and appreciating nature so we decided against entering the domes and paying the hefty entrance fees for it. Maybe one of these days I will visit the place on a photo walk with my photo buddies or with R instead.

Not all the plant were labelled in the garden so I couldn’t really identify  which palm this fruits were from.

I saw many ixora plants at the garden.  Love their pinkish red flowers.

I saw this lovely white bloom. I like the yellow centre of the bloom as it accentuates the whole flower and gives it more depth.

Have you been to Gardens at the Bay yet?

Ostrich, Goats and Rabbits at a Fruit Farm

 

 

Feeding the rabbit

Feeding the rabbit

During the March holiday we brought the kids to a Fruit farm in Desaru, Malaysia. There was a small  petting Zoo section with a limited selection of animals. It was the first time that the kids got to feed rabbits and goats. They were quite hesitant at first as the kids are not really into animals.  Doggie boy was quite frighten to feed the rabbit and had to be coaxed by R before he gave it a try.

I didn’t  manage to get a good shot of the kids feeding the goats. The baby ewes were let out of the pen for them to feed but they really scared the boys when they went near to feed. Both the boys ran when the baby goat went near them.  I guess if they encounter goats again in the future they would not be as fearful as the animal as they were that day.

We didn’t get to go the Ostrich farm there while on holidays at Desaru but the kids did manage to take a look at the Lone Ostrich that we spotted at this Fruit farm.  They took a glance of it and went off looking at the rabbits. I guess it wasn’t a bad decision not to visit the Ostrich farm during the trip.
