It's the year end rainy season in Singapore again... ever since i completed my HK posts, I have been waiting for a good weather to bring my cam out! Finally, today is sunny & have no signs of stormy outlook... hence impromptu decided to visit the HortPark nearby. The Nparks website indicated there's a Butterfly enclosure there! The last time i went was 2yrs ago wif my frens but we were there briefly & did not explore the whole HortPark.

We Need Each Other Autumn In Singapore?
As it's a weekday late afternoon, the park did not have many visitors... caught sight of a couple taking wedding shots.... groups of children playing & students exploring the place. As Sg is a tropical country, unlike countries wif 4 distinct seasons, there's no opportunity to capture my fav autumn colours! HortPark is also part of the Southern Ridge Park Connectors & as i walked around, i realised the end of the park leads to the Kent Ridge Park.
Then, i noticed an uncle wif a super zoom L lens trying to 'shoot' birds! That's really tough! Juz when i tot it's impossible for my kit lens to shoot birds in the wild... i stumbled upon this area & noticed 2 birds searching for food! Shh....i slowly creeped up, but saw the one i targeting moved further, hence i target his partner. Then, CLICK! my shutter sound immediately scared the bird away! Phew, i'm damm lucky to obtain a sharp shot... this marked my 1st time photographing a wild bird in Sg! Yippie!

Circle of Frens
Finally, i chanced upon the Butterflies enclosure & alas, it's locked! Then, i realised it only open to guided tours on the last sat of each mth....it's a veri small enclosure anyway. Hmm, i started wondering if i would be 2nd time lucky to shoot a butterfly nectaring.... But none was in sight. As i made my way out, i saw a black butterfly sipping nectar on a flowering tree! Aiya! When i turned on my cam, it flew higher & higher UP! Generally, the flowers variety are not that exciting & those pretty ones r locked up in the research greenhouses.... As such, these r the best i got during my 1.5 hr stroll ^_^
