Beautiful Autumn / Schöner Herbst
I didn't notice what is the difference between summer and autumn until I started to the leaves turning red and yellow... then soon, the roads are filled with piles of golden leaves... maple leaves...

I went to Botanic Garden alone last thursday as I was really too free and didn't want to coop at home! Decided to walk 1 hour there from school, you see how much I really love walking, plus! Its cool because I can read the map and I saved transportation fee!
On the way, I snapped some shots.
What a nice house!
Finally finally, after walking for an hour, after peeling my jackets layer by layer, i reached!
Didn't know that the botanic garden belongs to my exchange uni...
Everywhere is like the photo above, blend of leaves in red, yellow and green!
Have the trees caught fire, or?
Pink leaves! My current wallpaper <3>
Awww... i wanna grow these in my room!
As I was appreciating nature, someone disrupted my thoughts.
"Hey!"
I looked around to find the source of the voice and I saw one asian and one swiss old auntie sitting by the pond. I turned to look behind me as I wonder if they were calling me or someone behind.
"Yes you! Come!" ... "Are you japanese?"
No no, i walked to them, I am from Singapore.
"Do you want me to take a photo for you?"
Thats what I hope for!
"No no, you don't stand like that, turn your body"
I became confused, was she trying to do an artistic shot?
"ya ya, then now turn your head back and smile"
I think I was turning red, it felt so embarrassed to be asked to pose.
The result:
We chatted quite a while after that embarrassing shot and exchanged contacts. She opens an invitation to her house anytime I want =)
So sometimes, I feel happy that I am left alone, because then I am really forced to talk to people and yea, that was the gain of the day!
No frog sighted.
Looks like some big brush to me.
There were so many old aunties and uncles there, and they really looked so happy to just stop anyway and take a closer look at the trees or the flowers.
Last picture of the day:
What does this plant looks like?
Its actually called the Cigarette tree! So cute!
