Seeing and capturing beauty

The beautiful stream... How I'd love to hang around there

This reminded me of Bridge to Terabithia. :') I want t go exploring in the woods. Who's with me?

On the count of 3, let's jump in ok!

Check out the waterfall!!! It is not majestic but it is good enough for me. :)

A pretty ribbon on a bright yellow flower. Monster would love it. For a moment, I felt like plucking it and bring it back to press it to make a bookmark, but I figured she'd be upset if I cut short that beautiful flower's life. :) I hope you're looking as pretty as ever pretty yellow flower! :)

It's winter! let's pile the maple leaves together and then jump into it!!! :)

Apparently, a lot of couple get married here during autumn and Spring. During these two seasons, this entire place would be very well decorated with lights that are tastefully done, and the flowers would be in bloom and the sweet scent will blanket the entire place. Oh, i must mention that in August, my dear tulips would be in full bloom. Someone please close down my school so that I have a good excuse to return. :)

My jaw dropped when I saw this. I could sit there and gape all day!!! I wished I could sit there and paint!! sketch. Whatever. It was so inspiring. Whenever those artists painted scenery, I thought they had a really fantastic imagination, but when I saw this with my own eyes, I knew that they were blessed enough to see and capture God's creation... Ahhh~~~ Missing this place so badly!
My favourite flower have always been tulips. The petals don’t wilt in an ugly manner and it is more sturdy. The colours are more vibrant and there’s just something very special about it that I can’t explain. I just love tulips.
It is a pity that I visited Australia during Winter hence no tulips in sight for me except at Wanneroo market and some of the florists. Whatever it is, Gloria, the rather unloving girl towards floral started to appreciate floral and all after visiting the Botanic Gardens. It was an hour plus drive.. my goodness, I thought my butt was growing to grow flower. I guess what made the journey pleasant was when I looked out of the car, I saw the most magnificent clouds. Sometimes I think people will think I am mad to talk about clouds. I mean, who has not seen clouds? What’s the big deal? Get real! But I still want to say that the clouds were very pretty. It’s almost like the wind and altitude made the shapes extra beautiful. Maybe it was the amazing blue sky. I can sing blue blue sky all day long. Also because it rained earlier in the morning, I was greeted by 2 rainbows!! ☺ Seriously, a land of rainbows.
I recall months back in Singapore when I saw rainbow and went around telling everybody to drop whatever they were doing and to go and stare at the rainbow! Subsequently I even asked myself if I would ever find myself not being getting excited over rainbows if I see them too often, but here in Australia, even though I see them almost everyday, I am glad I still get excited over it like a child seeing it for the first time. The colours intrigued me. It always reminds me of CareBears, how they would bounce on the clouds, and then they’d slide on rainbows. I want to be a Care Bear too!!! Hahah…
Thank God for the beautiful weather when we were at the Botanic Gardens. It was still a little misty… the morning dew… words fail me. I will let the pictures do the talking. ☺
