We have recently started walking into the many nature parks in Singapore and it’s no surprise that many have also embarked on their little treks around the island. Interestingly, there are quite a lot of nature parks for us to wander around.
We were at Lower Pierce Reservoir Park just over the weekend and came across a beautiful stink bug, a baby wild boar, a cricket, a large school of water boatmen, a spider, a snake head fish, a squirrel which scared me silly, a terrapin that took a peek out of the water to see who we were, an interesting electric blue dragonfly that I didn’t managed to capture using my iPhone 11 Pro. I have always thought the iPhone 11 Pro was a camera marvel, I guess I was wrong. The image came out blurry and all I could see was the fuzzy electric hue of the insect.
I was decked out in my brand new evadict trail running jacket, and my evadict trail running shirt, and I was literally melting. Look good, but might be a little of an overkill. In a sense, everyone seems to be trying to outdo everyone else, walking with the latest trail gear money could buy that would have otherwise been invested in that holiday away. Alas, everyone’s stuck at home on sunny island.
We found a little piece of trail that had almost nobody walking while we were there. The Venus Loop at Windsor Nature Park. A small and narrow trail, that most would shun, but it was a gem. The trail was rocky, and uneven, and sometimes, eerie, but it was precious and priceless. Kind of like having nature walk you as a guide.
