Singapore Botanic Gardens

Blue skies and everything nice - that was this morning at the Singapore Botanic Gardens. Many plants and shrubs were in bloom. They were on the verge of fading but still looked good. I photographed the flowers that I have seen many times before in the gardens except that this time I paid special attention to the sky in the background. What a lovely morning!
