Capricious Spontaneity



Early last December, we went kite-flying on a whim and fancy at the wide expanse of meadow around Tanjong Rhu. The skies were brilliantly beautiful, painted in stunning hues of ultramarine and splotched with beguiling rounded masses of altocumulus clouds, always a favourite cloud type of mine. The meadow was lightly tinted by the resplendent amber setting sunlight.



The Bees immersing themselves in the gorgeous surroundings.

Hubby and Big Bee had a grand time trying to get 2 of their kites high up in the air, whereas Little Bee and I strolled around, admiring the breathtaking bay and enveloping ourselves in the rejuvenating riverside breeze.



The Bees also ambled around the expansive field, trying to spot mimosa leaves, and making them curl up in docile shyness. Little Bee had been fascinated by the mimosa plant ever since I showed her how the leaves close up with humble quiescence when we prod them gently.



From an unexpected turn on the road to visit the riverside on a whim to an extended 2 hours of kite-flying and relaxation on an enchanting Sunday evening. I love spontaneous moments like these :)

That's fun! I like the photos of the sky and the clouds. Makes me feel so relaxed just by looking at them! Didn't know there's such a meadow around T.Rhu.

MamaJ: It is great fun. I had been loving the gorgeous weather these days - cooling and breezy! Thanks for the compliments on the corn craftwork - try it with your boy, it is really simple yet fun :)

Ing: Yes, the meadow is just beside the Tanjong Rhu condo, and just opposite the Indoor Stadium. There's a bridge linking the indoor stadium to the field, and sunset there is resplendent!

Sunflower: I love to take cloud photos, and yes, the clouds in Singapore these days are brilliant! :)
