Royal Botanic Gardens


Welcome to the Royal Botanic Gardens.



An oasis of 30 hectares in the heart of the city.



I was actually amazed by the uniqueness of the trees.
They remind me of the trees in Taiping Lake garden.



4pm, 15 june 10

I love this view the most.
The significant Sydney Opera House and the Harbor Bridge.

    1st photo.."Pls walk on the grass?" I thought they would have ask people to walk on the pavement and not on the grass. Funny

    This is a beautiful garden. I like all the majestic trees that you have featured here. They must be very old which makes them even more historical and valuable.

    These photos are taking me down memory lane! It would be about 25 years since I last wandered there, and loved it! I've been looking at your photos to find any changes - then and now! Of course, the first sign did not exist! A magic place!

    What a wonderful place! Gorgeous photos too!

    I especially like the sign ...

    "Please walk on the grass. We also invite you to smell the roses, hug the trees, talk to the birds and picnic on the lawns."

    It sounds a little bit like heaven to me!

Ghosts

This friend of mine, is a kind person. When he has any second hand Brooks shoes, he will call me and ask if I want them. My answer is definitely 'Yes!' He is a dealer in Brooks shoes and he always likes to try on different kinds of shoes. After that, he would just sell them away cheaply. Many months ago, I had bought two pairs from him and recently, my husband told me that those two pairs were almost worn down.  So I had to ask this friend if he had any second hand shoes. He told me that he had this very pair which he only wore it once and he's selling it at RM180. Grabbed it and gave it to my husband. He wore it immediately for his meeting last night. After that, he will wear it for his daily work at the shop.

Hayley and I

I went to Taiping as I was sending my mum home. Well, I never thought that I would be meeting Hayley instead. Initially, I had wanted to meet both Yan and Yvonne but they were working yesterday. Yan gave me Hayley's phone number when I asked her if Hayley was working too. So when I reached Taiping, I messaged Hayley that I would try to locate her place as she had given me her address. I didn't think I would be able to find it. So to be on the safe side, I called her when I reached somewhere near her place. She directed me and I found it..  So nice to meet a new blogger friend and her baby. Aden is so cute! On the way to Hayley's place, I remembered this temple  where I used to visit when I was young to watch the Chinese opera show.
