Exploring Southern Ridges

Us beans have been busy, and we've been exploring the Southern ridges, graciously guided by our guest nature guide Mr. Pinto. The Southern ridges covers a long stretch over Singapore. For many of us, we can easily identify the Southern Ridges trail via the iconic Henderson Waves, one of the many walkaways and paths that make up the Southern Ridges.

From one place to another, we spotted and saw a great number: Saw towering tembusu trees, smelt the leaves of the eucalyptus tree, peeked at the horticultural gardens at the Hort park and many more. We got to see the hidden landscapes in Singapore, and at times, the view was so different from the usual concrete mass that it seemed as if we were on another island.

Here's some photos from out walk:

 Us in front of the Simpoh Air, and a towering bamboo plant





 Pepper Potts: these grow well in the shade







 Eucalyptus Tree!
















Until next time!
