It was a beautiful morning. The sky was blue with white patches
of clouds all over, a good day to wander at the park. I drove the Honda to the
Taman Tasik Hilir Park and after parking my car went to wander along the
walking path just to enjoy the fresh air and perhaps do a little bit of
photography. The activities at the public park are never the same. At time
there would be many people jogging or just sitting around to while their time
away. Sometime one see flowers blooming and at time one would see birds
chirping from tree enjoying its morning meals. Anyway it a good place to
wonder along especially in the early part of the morning or evening before
the sun set. The air is fresh and the atmosphere is cool. There is a large lake
there with glittering water where one could see the reflection of the city
skyline making it a great place to take picture of the city of Kuala Lumpur. I
find the park peaceful and with my camera at hand always comeback with some
great scene of the happening in the park.
That day while sitting on the bench
under the canopy tree I saw birds chirping from branch to branch. From a
distance I managed to capture the scene of three birds helping itself to the
many fruits from the tree there.
As I was taking a lazy walk along the path I
saw a lone tortoise perch on a rock near the bank of the lake. I took my camera
and managed to get a good short of it enjoying the morning breeze. It is not
always that one get to see the tortoise on dry-land like that. Most of the time
it just disappeared into the water once alert by the sound of person
approaching. This time using the telescopic lens I need not be near it thus I
had managed to take a picture without disturbing it.
As I had said earlier it
never the same when one wander in the park. At time there are nothing unusual
happens but if one is patience enough the reward in photography would be worth
the wait. If we care to take our time and look of what nature had to offer we
would be surprised to see thing that we did not expect like the canopy trees
that I had snap from the place I was taking a rest. It such beautiful scenes
that one would not have notice if one do not really look up. That day I did
look up and awe with the wonder of this tall canopy tree giving shades to the
smaller tree below it and at the same time allowing birds and insects to enjoy itself high
above undisturbed.
Have a nice day.
