We have just resumed our morning walk after a long rest for more than a month. It started when hubby was down with influenza and after that I too caught the flu bug. This time my cough dragged on for more than 2 weeks. I allowed my body to fight its own battle. The only medication I took was some cough mixture.
Two days ago we went back to the recreation park for our walking exercise. It was a lovely morning and we got to see the lovely sunrise.
As I walk, I enjoyed looking at the trees and plants around me.
That morning, some one else also express interest in the drinking tree.
What should I call this tree? Curved or Bent tree?
Halfway through our morning walk, the track was blocked by a fallen branch. The branch must have broke off from the tree during the previous night's heavy rain and very strong wind.
We have to walk on the grass to continue our walk on the track.
The fallen branch had knocked off the lamp from the lamp post and the lamp post was in a dangerous slanted position.
Palm trees beside the lake.
Found this round wild mushroom beside the walking track one morning during the wet season. It was about the size of a tennis ball and it looked like a brain.
Some one planted this South African grass or African leaves in the park. It is said that eating the leaves helps to lower cholesterol but prolong and careless consumption may lead to poisoning and damage of internal organs.
There is also a Noni plant planted in the centre of a small roundabout in the park. This is a small unripe noni fruit.
Spider Lily Plants with flowers.
Linked to Skywatch Friday.
Hallelujah! O servants of Jehovah, praise His name.
Blessed is His name forever and forever.
Praise Him from sunrise to sunset!
For He is high above the nations;
His glory is far greater than the heavens.

Hello, pretty sunrise and lovely scenes from your morning walk. Happy Friday, enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Eileen. Have a beautiful weekend.
DeleteHow a very unusual tree, the drinking tree. The Spider Lily Plants with flowers scares me because I hate spiders. Yuck!
ReplyDeleteMaybe I should get back to walking also. I gained some weight and I'm trying to lose again. Walking would be good.
Have a brilliant Friday Nancy. See ya.

Hi Paul, I hate spiders too but these spider lilies are not scary. I too need to shed some weight too. Have a lovely weekend!
DeleteI feel guilty!! No exercising in polo for a long time now....
ReplyDeleteI am guilty too, rested too long, now must take longer walks.
DeleteWhat a lovely place for walking. I would have loved to go with you.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day and weekend. ☺
Hi Sandee, early morning is the best time to walk here, I enjoyed the surrounding very much.
DeleteYou took us on a lovely walk, with some lovely tress, such a shame about the one damaged in the storm.
ReplyDeleteThe fallen branch was cleared but the main tree looks like it wouldn't be able to stand for long too.
DeleteIt looks like a lovely place for an early morning walk. Sorry that you both had a bad flu but I'm glad you're feeling better. That bent tree is interesting. Maybe a lot of people use it as a place to rest.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day.
Hugs,
JB
Thank you, Julia. I am alright now, back to my normal self. Have a happy weekend!
DeleteNice place to go for brisk walking :) that bent tree is truly an amazing sight
ReplyDeleteYes, lots of amazing sight around the park.
DeleteNancy you live in a nice area. Take and be healthy. Hugs from Poland. Gosia
ReplyDeleteThank you, Gosia. Have a lovely weekend! Hugs from Malaysia.
DeleteIs the buah noni related to soursop? I have not eaten a buah noni at all. Where is this park? So green and with nice matured trees.
ReplyDeleteHi Mun, the buah noni is different from soursop. I think noni is good for juice. I don't like the taste of noni as a fruit but I like to eat soursop and drink its juice.
DeleteThat's a lovely place to take a morning walk, Nancy.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Angie. It will be crowded if we go a bit later in the morning.
DeleteI really like the misty mood in these shots.
ReplyDeleteThank you, William. Its beautiful when the morning light breaks through and we get this misty mood.
DeleteHi, Nancy!
ReplyDeleteI can't begin to tell you the peace I feel viewing your photos. How outstanding your photography of God's beauty. Thank you so much. My spirit man thanks you!!!!
Have a great weekend!
Mary
Thank you, dear. All praise and glory to our God Almighty. Have a beautiful weekend!
DeletePretty shots, and I've never seen a tree quite like your "drinking" tree!!
ReplyDeleteThank you. Have a wonderful weekend!
DeleteHow beautiful, Nancy! I love everything here!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Linda. Every morning when I walk here, I get to enjoy and appreciate these beauties.
DeleteSuch a wonderful collection Nancy! Tom The Backroads Traveller
ReplyDeleteThank you, Tom. Have a wonderful weekend!
DeleteNice place to go for exercise & amaze at the drnking tree. You are very observant observing all the plants & greens around you. Beautiful shot of everything.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Irene. Sometimes, when I see dogs around the area, I wanted to take some snap shots of them but there are too fast for me.
DeleteI didn't exercise for 1 week liao, must get back asap liao...
ReplyDeleteHi Sharon, ya, let's sweat it out!
DeleteI also take cough syrup when I am down with cough. And takes longer to heal too as age catching up.
ReplyDeleteNice walk and photo-taking. I have not really doing any exercise for a long time. Must resume when my youngest going to school next year.
Hi Rose, I only started my walking exercise after I retired.
DeleteI am also recovering from a horrid summer flu. I hope that you are both well, Nancy!
ReplyDeleteAmalia

Thank you, Amalia. Hubby and I are well now. I hope you have fully recovered from the flu by now. Take care.
DeleteI love this post...loved seeing where you walk. Also, always interested in the plants...I had never heard of a noni, nor spider lilies. I love the Drinking Tree, also the curved one...been trying to think of a different name for it and coming up blank.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rose. I too have been thinking of putting a different name but couldn't find a suitable one so ended up "the drinking tree". Lol!
DeleteNancy, I love the tress and greenery. So pleasing to the eyes!
ReplyDeleteYes, Phong Hong. It is a beautiful and pleasing place for morning walks.
DeleteFrom the angle, I thought that dog was a horse at first.
ReplyDeleteYep, coughs are very hard to recover from! Take care.
