(Could you notice any "cute" animals hiding in the pictures above?)
That was a quite tranquil place. There were hardly any vehicles on roads abutted. So I could enjoy the serenity there in a languid afternoon while the sun was blazing, highlighting the vibrant green in this wetland reserve and glinting creeks around us. I, along with several companions, rambled in this haven away from the bustle of the city.
It is more like a zoo waiting for to discover weird animals by visitors themselves. While we were stroll down the uneven trails winding through ponds, marshes and muddy ground, suddenly a small grey-skinned lizard crossed in front of us, leaving us gasping with surprise. Then, with a curious glimpse of the bushes alongside, a colossal one was found, with sagged, dark green skin and horrifyingly shape claws. It was sleeping. Afterwards, drop gazes into the mashes and, more excitingly, a still crocodile, perfectly camouflaged with yellow green skin in the shallow water, engrossed us all. Besides the shallow water, you could see lots of mysterious holes in muddy ground and something gleaming in the sunshine was moving. What’s that? Oh, they were small crabs. On the trunks of trees stretching from the muddy ground, slightly bigger crabs were scrambling up. Anyway, you could find amazing species just with opening eyes.
On the way back to the exit, we also walked pass crawling snakes as an additional surprise. When were leaving this wonderful place, a bird, like sorts of toucan, glided past, folded its wings and stopped on a tree, adopting a relaxed pose for us to take photos, and flew away immediately.
As we are all in this tropical area, it is conducive for us to diverse species and to discover nature. Enjoying incredible nature in awe is much better than confining yourselves in cell-like dormitories miserably. Come out to be a part of nature!
hahaI am the first one!
ReplyDeleteYou always can find some places interesting in Singapore. I have never seen a wetland. Maybe someday I can go with you! Don't forget me when you go to wetland next time!^_^
All right! That is really a wonderful place. It was also my first time to go to wetlands. It is worth visiting.
DeleteOh, what a wonderful journey to the mysterious nature. I also love the blue sky over the wetwoods, the vibrantly green trees and grass. They bring peace to our fidgety mind and relax us to the most. Look at those peaceful animals, which live at ease and always feel enough to survive on, we will find what the essence of life is.
ReplyDeleteWetlands, an authentic tranquil place, deserves our admiration. Hope I can have the opportunity to escape from the 'cell-like' dorm and enjoy life in wetlands!
We human beings should be closer to nature and we are the part of nature. However, we just confine ourselves in those concrete buildings. Nature is far more wonderful than our imagination. When I go to natural reserves, I often question myself that are the so called development and civilization of human really good?
