A Visit To Singapore Gardens!

Daphne is Pollyanna's BEST friend! They have known each other for a very long time. You have probably not met her before now, Dear Readers, because she has been studying abroad and only recently returned home. She is interested in Fashion so she is the first person Pollyanna thought of when she realized she might need help deciding on the style of her Wedding gown! Daphne was only too happy to help her! So they set out one fine Summer morning to search through all the stores they could find for ideas on Wedding Gowns. And while they window shopped, they talked and talked about .... well EVERYTHING.... because they had not been together for quite some time! And before they knew it, they had walked further than they ever had before.... into a part of Town that neither of them had seen before. They weren't precisely LOST, but they were hot and thirsty, so they were very happy to find themselves at the edge of what looked like a Park or a Lovely Public Garden. So they went in to see if there was a place to sit in the shade and rest for a while. There were some seats close by, but they decided to look a little further to see what else was there............

Daphne could see what looked like tables and chairs further into the Garden. Pollyanna could see a lovely water fountain throwing sprays of cool water into the small pool at its base......

And a Dreamy looking Waiter standing by ...........

"Welcome to SINGAPORE GARDENS" he says in his dreamy voice.

"Can I help you Ladies?" He asks.
But they are momentarily mesmerized by the Fountain........

And the little Turtles that played about the pool.........

Where Buddha sits in perpetual CALM meditation under the water's spray.......

But Daphne has spotted a lovely little Gazebo that she wants to explore.....
Standing next to what surely is a Bamboo thicket........

With a fascinating Tropical Bird (it MUST be a foreign species at least!) perched upon the open door. Do YOU think it resembles the Kingfisher?

Daphne knows a lot about birds and knows it is NOT one of the Local species!

It lets her come quite close for a look before flying into a nearby bush........

And then they notice the LOVELY little iron table with the ceramic planter just waiting for someone to pull up a chair and sit for a while......... It is so inviting........

They don't even have to ask each other.... they are THAT sort of friends..... they just know it is the PERFECT place to sit and have a cup of.... is that a Teapot already waiting for them....?

And Mr. Dreamy waiting to bring them whatever they desire to go with the tea......

I think Daphne has JUST noticed Mr. Dreamy..........

"No, they are fine..... tea is all they need..... and a place to sit in the shade... " says Pollyanna...

What more could they ask for on a PERFECT Summer's Day....?
To sit in a shade dappled garden with your best FRIEND and drink tea and talk......

To Dream of all the things you will do someday.......
And listen to the Birds singing overhead.......

Another little Tropical Bird in the SINGAPORE GARDENS........ visiting........

Visiting for a Moment this little corner of Paradise................

Where Time stands Still and Distance Disappears.........

On a BEAUTIFUL Summer Afternoon in the GARDEN.......!


Or WAS that a Dream.........?

Do you ever have those moments where you SHARE a Dream with a Friend.....?

From the OTHER side of this WORLD, I received a GIFT from a Friend........

And when I opened it I found this little Table..... just PERFECT for the Garden chairs I bought last Winter and showed on my blog! And there were tiny CERAMIC flower pots and a planter too.... all because I mentioned on this blog my DREAM of making a REAL miniature Garden.... Someday...!

GIFTS from my Friend Sans! in Singapore!

Isn't that what Friends are for.....to Feed each others Dreams?
So, Thank YOU Sans!, for once again bringing me a piece of my Dreams....
And for sending me out to the Garden to Play on such a Beautiful Summers Day!!!
