Come come, must join us. You can leave earlier since you have class later. There is no hard and fast rule that you must stay throughout the outing.

anyway, here are some of the things (non-moving ones, easier to practice ;p ) you can find at the SBG outing…

this is a marsh plant, found growing at the edge of Symphony Lake…

this one also marsh plant from Symphony Lake…

 

[hwchoy]

this one is quite common, along shaded footpaths…

Pisang!

growing across from the entrance to the Orchid Gardens.

 

[hwchoy]

and the hot hot weather is really turning half the Symphony Lake into a huge waterlily, lotus and hyacinth haven.

and then THIS fella wants to pick a fight with me… so limpeh shot him (with my 100mm Macro USM :devil: )
