The Gardens & Lunch with a Dear Friend!

As I'm sure a lot of you don't know but we are back in Singapore!  But, wait - not for long.  We are just here for a week; Paul is co-paneling a discussion at a conference.  It's been a wonderful experience and I'm so proud of him!
It's kind of weird to be back but familiar.  I could definitely live here and speaking of that, I saw one of my dear friends, Y, yesterday.  It's always lovely to see her and looking forward to more time together!
The day before yesterday, we just spent time at the pool and enjoyed the weather.  
But, yesterday, I went to one of my favorite haunts - The Singapore Botanic Gardens.  I don't think there is another place that offers so much peace.  I really enjoyed my time and even tried a bit of drawing, though I enjoyed taking pictures more (probably it's the instant gratification thing...).
I was sitting on a bench at Swan Lake and a Turtle swam right toward me - I almost missed him!  I got a little video of it...
I thoroughly enjoyed my time and got a few trinkets.  But, here are just a series of photos and one more video that moved me...



Isn't that funny - a plant called "Sexy Orange."  See below...
