So we’ve often only just shown you the rooftop garden which is convenient for us and looks pretty nice for pictures. But in the last week, a surprise has taken over some parts of the island.
What’s the surprise?
Well, this:
According to the news, it is not only these trumpet trees that are blooming. A variety of trees and plants across the island are too, and I’ve been enjoying the view from the car a fair bit. ; )
On Channelnewsasia.com, the director of streetscape at the National Parks Board (NParks), was quoted to suggest that the dry spell in the previous months, followed by days of rain, could have triggered the mass flowering.
And pretty soon, the streets are just covered with these fallen pastel blooms.
They turn brown too soon.
The photos are perfect for creating floral pet portraits using double exposures! Find out how here.

It’s real good feeling to see the blooming flowers like that. :)

Absolutely! Too bad the flowers don’t last long!

Maybe they’re flowering because it’s spring?

It’s summer all year round over here ;) but I think some people may like to pretend it’s spring ;P

Oh wow! Those are AMAZING trees! Your photos are quite lovely. :) Too bad the blossoms aren’t edible!

hmmm, they turn brown even on the tree so I don’t imagine they will be yummy :P

I love the portrait! We went out to the tulip festival yesterday and it was gorgeous.
weliveinaflat
Oh no tulips here. I only got to see tulips once when they imported it for a flower festival thing. Lucky you to have seen them recently :)

That is simply stunning! We don’t have trees like those here, but I sure wish we did. Enjoy the walks!

They actually look pretty ordinary once the flowers are gone :P Something to look forward to the next time they bloom ^___^

Wow, those are beautiful!! (Hope they aren’t bringing mass allergies too! Allergies here in the states are supposed to be terrible this year due to the weird weather we’ve had this winter.) Love that double exposure shot!
weliveinaflat
Nope, mass allergies does not appear to be a problem when it comes to flowers. ;) Thank goodness! Glad you enjoyed the pictures :) It is not a common occurence, and the flowers only lasted for a week ;)

Very pretty! I agree, too bad the flowers don’t last very long. My favorite shot is the one of Donna’s paws in the flowers. So cute :)
