Flowers of Frasers

The nice cool mountain air and plenty of sunshine and rain certainly made Frasers Hill a heaven for flowers. Even the whole shrubs thrived here.

Around the Smokehouse, there used to be plenty of flowers in the garden. There weren't many this time around and I decided to explore the town for more.

Nice...

The Pink Tulips

For Anita's birthday, I had a couple of main things planned up. One materialised, but another came earlier than expected.

A couple of pink things. One of them were the tulips, specially ordered for the day. I got it on the day. And Anita loved it. As for the other plan, Anita got it about 2 weeks earlier .... I'll show you the picture.

The whole bunchHer other pink presentI gave this to her 2 weeks earlierAnd yes .... it was pink as well ....

Blooming Mid Valley

I was with Anita earlier this afternoon accompanying her to do a bit of shopping. I don't normally like going to Mid Valley on Friday as the place was usually crowded at the time. But Anita had something to do there. So, i accompanied her while spending most of the time at a cafe.

After leaving her, I went to the main lobby and guess what I found?

Apparently there was some celebration for the spring season going on. The foyer were filled with bloom although most of them wasn't really real flowers. But the colours were fantastic.

I spend some time having a look around before settling down at a cafe. But that didn't last long. Apparently there was an IT Fair going on at the Exhibition Centre. More on that later...

The Flowers

The next part of the farm, by the exit went through some gorgeous garden. Anita spent the most amount of time here while the children was sitting down, with me being the designated photographer.
The flowers were fresh and the air was a tonic from the haze we were having in town in the past few weeks. I ended up sitting at one of the benches and if it was not for the children yearning for ice cream, I would have sat there for another hour. It was Sunday afternoon after all.

Surprisingly the place was not as crowded as I was feared and we had some time to kill. Again, the place was really clean and the staff were really friendly. Very well-maintained and would definitely be recommending it to friends.

After around half an hour of taking photos, it was time to go. It was a shame that I did not bring my macro lens. It would have been a nice opportunity to try it out with the new A7R mark II. Well, I had to cope with just the Summicron-M 50. It did the job nicely although the bokeh was rather harsh …

Flowers for Mothers

Mother's Day was fast approaching and my boys had been asking me what I would get for Puan Anita. Well, she is their mother, so the idea must come from them. Still no news.

The Bukit Bintang entrance at Pavilion though had some really nice fake tulips on display. Not sure if they were a start for something more spectacular. Would have to wait and watch. Could do with many more of them ....
