In response to The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge: “Half and Half”, and “Symbol”. Half black and half white, the roosters make a pair, reminding me of the Ba Gua symbol. Interesting to note that the white is larger and plumper than the black. This scene struck me for three reasons. First, I have not seen…

Flowers are gorgeous when they are in full bloom, especially those that have obvious pistils and stamens. Flowers are even more interesting when they come in a bunch, on which some are still in various stages of growth before the bloom. Here, there is not just the pistils and stamens, but also some buds with obvious…

In response to The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: “ROY G. BIV.” I remember repeating the colours of the rainbow over a long period of time, actively attempting to memorise the colours from red to violet, and recite them backwards from violet to red. I repeated the colours of the rainbow in Mandarin, “红 (hong)，橙…

Finally, I am posting the photo of an orchid! I love orchids because it reminds me of homeland, Singapore. I also love orchids because they always look like beautiful ladies dancing elegantly in the wind. This flower below sure looks like a beautiful lady. I am not sure what the species is, but I like…

In response to Where’s my backpack? Travel Theme: Land Meets Water. Do you have a favourite spot where land meets water? Yes, of course!

She is into her 50th year of independence after 144 years of British rule, followed by merger with and separation from Malaysia. Many sites and memories of Singapore…

In response to Nancy Merrill Photography‘s A Photo A Week Challenge: Perfect Sky. If there is a type of view which I am more mad about than sunset evenings, it will be the sky. No amount of words can express how head over heels I am with skies, so I will let the photos below speak…

This flower looks like the variant of a sunflower – with florets in the centre and many petals radiating in perfect symmetry around all 360 degrees. This flower even looks like it has pollen grains at the time of the photo! EDIT: This flower has been verified to be an Osteospermum with common names, African…

In response to Cee’s Photography Which Way Challenge tag. I have realised that I am not the only one in this world who loves taking photos of paths after browsing through some of the other entries for Cee’s Which Way Challenge. The fact that one will never find out what is up the path, unless…

I do not know the name of this flower, but it looks so perfect and unique that I took a photo. Enjoy! [Photo: Taken at Gardens by the Bay, Singapore, in 2012.]
