As soon as Jiangnan took off its gorgeous clothes, Northern Xinjiang couldn’t wait to be covered in silver. But in the small island country of Singapore, it feels like summer all year round. Spring blossoms and autumn fruits, summer cicadas and winter snows, the four seasons cycle, the four seasons are beautiful, and there is no chance to see them.
However, I often look up at the sky and watch the clouds roll and relax. It is also a beautiful thing to look around and see the flowers blooming and falling.
In the small square downstairs, there are inconspicuous grasses and flowers. My baby and I were teasing the leaves together, and the leaves closed shyly. Mimosa, as it is called, we took the trouble to play with. One after another. Suddenly I found a few small white mushrooms growing on the green grass, and I liked them very much.
What I didn’t expect was that a few days later, I met more mushrooms, so beautiful!
Rotten wood cannot be carved, but it still makes people stop and watch. The mushrooms, which are layered on top of each other, crowded together and arranged in an orderly manner, stand out on the rotten wood under the sunlight filtering through the branches. They are elegant in color and look like dancing butterflies, like graceful girls, like flowers and small little ones. Umbrella...
I linger, be grateful for the gifts of nature, and be grateful that I still have a state of mind that is not confused by the world.
What are the red berries all over the ground? Looking up, there are still bright red or green fruits hanging on the trees, which are beautiful and quiet against the blue sky and white clouds.
The red powder puff swaying in the wind is elegant and refined, flaunting its beauty in the quiet Furong Park.
Slender branches, red flowers, large bunches of auspicious grass hanging down like firecrackers, as well as the slim, simple and elegant closed-sheath ginger, the scorpion-tailed banana shaped like a flying bird, the shape of a grass fruit, the shape of a cardamom. Gorgeous mountain ginger, graceful bamboo-leaf orchids, oriental cattails growing in the water...
Have a heart that opens the door to joy for small things, and there will be many moments that tell you that life is happy, gentle, colorful and romantic !
That day I went on a spontaneous walk. Singapore Green Corridor ~ Leaf View Park ~ Nanyang Overseas Chinese High School. The uncle who got off the car on the street was taking pictures of flowers and plants. When I took a closer look, I saw strange flowers growing on each tree. Jiliwala smiled and said to me, feeling his enthusiasm, but I looked confused and couldn't understand.
The rolling grassy slopes and low-rise houses have a bit of a European countryside feel.
In forty minutes, I met 13 people and 2 dogs. It was a green, quiet place, and it was really pleasant to walk around.
The last stop was the Overseas Chinese Middle School where my 15-year-old son received a Singapore scholarship. I clearly remember that my son’s first phone call was like this: Mom, there are so many and tall trees here. This is an important stop in my son's life journey, but unfortunately we can only see it at the school gate.
A three-hour round trip is not too far, in order to see Toa Payoh Park, which was once a popular place for wedding photos in the 1970s and 1980s, but is now a quiet and peaceful place.
Fort Canning Park is a park that history lovers, music fans and nature admirers will appreciate carefully. They have been there before and wandered around again.
Wandering under the green shade of the Dairy Farm Nature Park, I met three large lizards on the road dozens of meters away. I was horrified to see earthworms and grasshoppers falling into the mouths of the lizards, and I experienced natural selection. The natural law of survival of the fittest.
There are long-abandoned quarry pits in the park. The exposed granite and the pit lake form a natural bonsai with swaying water plants and beautiful scenery.
The four seasons reincarnate, and life is a journey with no return. The longest is only a hundred years. Expand the breadth of life, cherish the people you meet along the way, and experience more beautiful things.
