A collaboration between @tattoodjay of #WednesdayWalk and @elizacheng of #Makemesmile

#WednesdayWalk is an initiative started by @tattoodjay, The idea is to get out for a short walk, and get some shots of what you can see within a short distance of your home office or wherever you start.

#MakeMeSimile is an initiative started by @elizacheng – a ‘challenge’ for you to post something that make your readers smile.

“Above all, do not lose your desire to walk. Every day I walk myself into a state of well-being. I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it.” - Soren Kierkegaard

Since I came back from my holidays a month ago, I have ventured out socially, only twice. Apart from the lack of motivation to do so, the weather hasn’t been very helpful either. There has been a fair bit of rain, and the sky is grey most of the time. At times, it felt quite depressing.

However, I have been walking every day, clocking 10,000 steps, or thereabouts on my regular walk route. That is a good daily goal. Since I don’t do any other physical activities or sports, it is important that I keep to this regime to keep fit.

I will have to make an effort to go out more, so that I have some interesting stuff to share on here. Meanwhile, here are some pictures taken while I was out on my walk.

Towards one end of my walk route.

A tree laden with dragon scale plant and bird nest ferns.

Some flowers along the route.

Citharexylum spinosum also known as fiddlewod. They are very fragrant. When a few of them bloom together, the air is filled with a nice fragrant.

Hibiscus flower

Beds of Spider liles

Cheilocostus speciosus, also known as crepe ginger.

A path branching off from my walk route. Nothing up this end of the path at the moment. But I think there are plans to develop this area.
