Dear Luke and Leia,
Today we visited the Singapore Botanic Gardens and saw so many colors of flowers that my Crayola box of crayons was jealous. From the very beginning we realized it would be different with the ornate entrance doors into the garden. Our first impression was inviting.

Beautifully lined paths meandered effortlessly through lush green trees and shrubs inviting us deeper into the gardens.

The sculptures along the lake were very interesting, depicting both people and animals enjoying the scenery.

But it was the flowers and plants that stole the show. It is amazing the shapes and colors that nature provides that capture our imagination leading us to a place of peace. Here are just a few:

There was a special section that people had their pictures taken the most. It was the National Orchid Garden which contained so many varieties, most of which we have never seen before.

It was fun to see those taking pictures of each other to capture them inside the beauty of the Singapore Botanic Gardens.

Even the birds were enjoying some water in Singapore Botanic Gardens with a short bath.

Well it is time to find our way back out and head to the hotel for much needed sleep. We will write again soon. We miss you guys.
