Singapore Botanic Garden

I just took a walk to The Singapore Botanic Gardens. It was an amazing adventure. one because I am in this country where I know no one and two because I am walking out here alone! So, I was bored sitting in a hotel room and I am always up for an adventure! Wow, what I encountered was pretty amazing to say the least. yes, I have to admit, I did get lost, but I just kept going until I located a street that was familiar to me. But








it was well worth the extra walking! How could one look at these beautiful things in this garden and NOT believe in God! From the intricate designs of these flowers to the complexity of a butterfly wing, everything here shows the majesty of God. I know that men can make some amazing things (because of what God has provided) but this place is breathtaking! I now know why they call it "A Timeless Tropical Eden". And what you do not hear in these pictures, I cannot start to describe! This is the epitome of peace and tranquility with rushing waters and birds singing everywhere. (Yes, rushing water - I made myself sit here and let my mind realize the sound can be soothing to me, and I cannot tell you how gratifying that was). Oh and did I tell you that there are no bugs! It is very tropical but I have not seen any biting insects yet! And so as I leave the garden, I enter back into the world of hustle and bustle, so I put my headphones on and turn my music up!
