Singapore Zoo

Singapore has a really nice zoo.  We are grateful to have a membership so we can enjoy ourselves and not feel like we have to see it all in one day.

 One of the things we find really fun about the zoo is that the monkeys are just running around, no cage, just out in the open jumping from tree to tree, climbing on signs and in general causing a ruckus.
We find that the locals think monkeys are a nuisance a bit like we would see squirrels or raccoons in the U.S.  but we think they are cool and have enjoyed viewing them in several natural settings while being here.
The plant life in Singapore is consistently amazing.  So of course along the paths at the zoo there are many different forms of botany to take in and enjoy.  This one looks like a beaded necklace, the birds were liking it too.


I think I need to find an app for my I phone so I can identify these things on the spot as I have not idea what they are called.

We are finding the weather to be quite pleasant right now and have been able to enjoy the outdoors much more than when we first arrived, I am sure we are getting use to the humidity in addition to it being a few degrees cooler at this time of year.  The temperature never varies much in Singapore, just a few degrees but a few degrees can make a big difference.
