Spring Celebrations @ The Gardens by the bay
Touted as
one of the must see attraction, The Gardens by the bay feature the world
largest climate controlled greenhouse. I have bought an annual pass to visit
the Gardens unlimitedly. The Gardens is a very educational place with 2,000 species of plants on display. It’s also a perfect place to view the city skyline. I
am planning visit the place on a monthly basis now that I have an annual pass.
Here (in the
link below) are some photos of the Gardens to share with you.
I have also
tested my Canon S95 on its macro capability. It’s really fun to get up close
and personal with flowers. Check out the macro shots in the link below.
