I intend to make a second trip down to Windsor Nature Park.
The pictures from my first visit there didn't turn out very well.
It might have been the Light.
It might have been the rains.
I don't really know.
I guess it is one of those things where the results don't actually turn out the way you expect them to be.
This was our first visit to the park.
Meant to be a sort of recce trip on behalf of a wheelchair bound elderly whom we thought might do well to have a stroll there, we simply checked Google Maps, turned up at the main entrance along Thomson Road, went on the trail, and kept on it.
Had the rains not flooded the boardwalk, we might have gone all the way on the Squirrel Trail towards MacRitchie Reservoir (or wherever it was supposed to lead).
As it was, we got stuck halfway- no, I wasn't going to puddle my way through the muddy waters- and so decided to stick to safer walks, and drier ground.
It wasn't completely a wasted trip however.
We did manage to recce a trail that we thought she might like and where we could bring her next time.
And I got absolutely fascinated at the sight of a gorgeously large natural grove of bamboo.
I'll be honest- that's one of the plants that I want to see again.
After all, it isn't every day that I get to see the sturdy and tall yet graceful and timeless the natural stems of untouched bamboo.
Plus, I want to know if the Squirrel Trail (and other trails) in this park- a patch of green located between MacRitchie Reservoir and the Peirce-Seletar Reservoirs- stop at the grounds of the Singapore Island Country Club just behind, or if they meander through the gentle rolling slopes of golf course green.
