Roundup of The Changing Seasons, February 2023
One of my favourite sights on Swan Lake when I run through the Singapore Botanic Gardens.
“Flight of Swans” (2006), Eng Siak Loy


Swan Lake was a favourite hangout of our kiddies. Back when they were toddlers, we would find ourselves feeding fish, turtles and sometimes the resident pair of swans with leftover bread.
Loving Husband & I often speculated who would be first in the water. Although we have seen other children fall in, we haven’t had the privilege of fishing ours out.
There are now signs which request no feeding of the wildlife.
The following song often runs through my head when I catch sight of this sculpture, although it is a flight of swans, and not geese. Although we haven’t been to a campfire, the children and I used sing it in rounds.

What happy memories from when your children were young. I’m glad you got to experience feeding the birds before the signs were put up.

I know, right? It hasn’t even been that long ago (ok, maybe 20 years is a long time!!!) and it is such a different place now!
