Always a joy it is when I'm on a bus ride and the route takes me past lots and lots of trees. Happier still it is when I actually get to notice them. Being in a Garden City means that the trees are very much a part of our daily life, but it also means that in our rush from one place to another, from one task to another, we can actually forget to pay attention to them. We can even leave them by the wayside and forget all about them.
But they're there right beside us, standing proudly by the roadside, lending their charm, their quirks and their beauty to the city, and we really ought to reach out to these trees a little more. They're as much a part of the city as we are.
These pictures were taken at different places around the island. Some were on Depot Road nearing the DSTA side. This is probably an old road. I've noticed that old roads tend to have lots of lovely shaded trees. Mt. Pleasant is one. :) Anyway, some were taken somewhere in the Bukit Panjang area where there are plenty of trees landscaped and natural, and the rest along the PIE on what was a very bright-glaring white day.
