We have visited the Paddock once many year ago. For this trip, we visited the Paddock again since it was a first time for the youngest in our group. It was a week day and the place was very quiet. We saw 2 cars parked on the road side outside the gate and the visitors' parking lot a short distance away was empty.
A short distance to walk after going through the gate.
One for our albums and one for my blog.
From afar, we saw 3 horses.
Warming up for one of the horses.
A horse ride experience for this young child.
For me and my photo taking friends, this Secret Garden got us curious. Secret or not, we had to take a look.
And look what we found in the Secret Garden! Giant red bracts/flowers.
These two were still upright with yellow flowers.
We also found some interesting plants in the garden.
Orchid flowers.

And we also found a green seed pot hanging from the Trumpet plant.
Nov. 2016 - Fraser's Hill
We intentionally had a group photo with this standing order for our sweet memories.

Another one at the Clock Tower, also in the same standing order. Why? To compare! Before our Fraser's Hill trip, our friend dug out an old photo and share it with us through whatsapp!
1998/1998 - Church Family Camp in Cameron Highlands.
Here is a photo of the same 3 couples taken in 1998/1999 in Cameron Highlands. The difference is about 18 years. Can you see any differences after 18 years?
Once you were less than nothing; now you are God's own.
Once you knew very little of God's kindness;
now your very lives have been changed by it.

Hello Horse, hehe...
ReplyDeleteI wonder how it feel riding on a horse back.
Deletelovely place to visit .
ReplyDeletetoday me and my hubby were watching our photo album of summer visits to my native land which is mountainous and green .most of photos were same in standing order and while looking at them i laughed and reminded my hubby that how all were getting upset with my constant capturing and see now how precious they are as memories of our beautiful visits .
i really enjoyed your group photos and horse and flower pics are interesting too .thank you for sharing the pleasure
Thank you, Baili. Whatever we have captured in the photos, they have become precious memories of the beautiful moments we have shared together.

DeleteWhat a great post and photos! I also love the before and after shots. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Linda. We hope to continue with the group photos whenever we meet up for our holidays.
DeleteThe giant red flowers are gorgeous, and so is the unfolding leaf. You are all such a beautiful and happy bunch.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ginny. We are a happy bunch indeed! Have a great day!
DeleteThe one main difference is that your hair is now white. I like white hair and I hope my hair will be fully white as yours one day.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mun. Initially, there was so much discouragement but now, everyone is telling me to let my white hair be natural. Now I save time and money, no need to spend time at the hair saloon and pay for the hair colouring!
DeleteNice post <3

ReplyDeleteThank you, Phong Hong. I have yet to ride a horse or even touch it.

ReplyDeleteThank you, Diane. So sorry for the missing comment. Keep well too and have a good day!
DeleteHorses a beautiful animals but they scare the hell out of me, just saying
ReplyDeleteI like to see horses and I too think they are beautiful. Until now, I dare not touch or ride a horse yet.
DeleteLabel something 'secret' and you get lots of kepoh-chis haha.
ReplyDeleteHa ha! You are right, Stacy. The word "secret" always awaken the kepoh-chis or busybodies in us! Die, die also must go check it out!
DeleteYou are looking good even after 18 years, Nancy! I remember this clocktower ..it is my favourite corner at Fraser's Hill.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sharon. The clock tower is still the same after all these years.
