Perdana Botanical Gardens

My partner and I have resumed our Sunday morning walk after a hiatus due to the 2021 Lockdown.

This post is a little bit stale lah because I took the photos in May.

There was an event, Garden of EID Festival, and I took photos of the registration booths, generator and mobile toilets set up in the vicinity. 

I also saw tents as well as food trucks. I think the event was slated for later in the day (so we did not have the opportunity to participate).

Oh ya, we saw these beautiful blooms when crossing the road to survey (the hiking trail) at Taman Tugu (after reading about it on Choi Yen's blog. Actually we visited Taman Tugu before, I think in 2020 after the MCO. I still have the photos which I haven't posted. Wait lah, later I will blog about it.

I only managed to snap this Durian Tugu hah..hah.. but we did not go trekking that day.

So it was back to Perdana Botanical Gardens for our walk. My partner pointed out this blooming banana tree to me. Since I cannot resist flowers, I snapped some photos.

Then I spotted another interesting flower. Don't know the name of the plant.

We chanced upon the entrance of the deer park. It is usually locked but that day it was not.

So we entered.

To me, it was paradise, with all the lovely foliage.

It rained the night before, so the grounds were damp.

We had to be careful as it can be slippery.

Do you see those chickens? Some roam freely while others are in enclosures.

I took snapshots of them and they seemed quite friendly (as in they didn't scamper when I approached).

There were steps all over.

And my partner (unintentionally) posed for me heh..heh..heh...

Here's another one.

Going down the steps is fine.

But climbing up on the way out... tired lah...

We left the deer park and resumed our usual route.

The highlight that morning was when I came across this friendly kitty.

Allo! Allo!

Auwwww.... my heart melted there and then. But I had to say goodbye.

Sadly I did not see my little friend on subsequent visits. Hopefully my partner and I can keep up with our weekly walks (and I hope to improve my stamina).
