Just before checking out of the apartment, we wanted to visit another garden nearby. Only 4 of us were interested while the other 2 wanted to rest awhile in the apartment. It was almost 11 am and we used an umbrella and hat to protect us from the hot sun. This Orchid & Rose Garden is not visible from the main road, it was blocked by The Square building. It is within walking distance from the apartment. I took many snapshots of flowers and critters, and these are just a few of them to share on this post.

For only we who believe God can enter into his place of rest.
He has said, "I have sworn in my anger that those
who don't believe me will never get in,"
even though he has been ready and
waiting for them since the world began.
(Hebrews 4:3, The Living Bible-TLB)
