Sunday state of the Saber: Ostara, supermoon and being heartened.

Happy Ostara/Spring Equinox!

I spent the better part of yesterday's morning, exploring Sungei Buloh Wetlands Reserve. Brought along my camera. The girls loved it! Dot was so amazed by the huge monitor lizards ambling around and sunbathing. My photography skills are rusty... but I had fun. One thing about having a passion is about having fun.

And we had the supermoon! Brighter, definitely "bigger" - but it was all a beautiful illusion. I didn't get to take photographs of it though. But I admired it from afar.

I am not sure about you, but yes, I am heartened by trees. Especially by my favorite trees found at Sungei Buloh. Beside the casuarina, I also love the sea almond tree. I had a vision of wolves, of Singaporean wolves, trotting along the sunlit tropical forest path. Not your typical timberwolves, mind you. I felt the swish of tail and the swivel of ear. Even Cub saw that I was happier.

School starts again tomorrow. I have a backlog of marking to finish. EEP!

Lol I shall be superficial and latch onto an unimportant part of your post: Were there EVER wolves in Singapore? I mean with the apex predator being the Malayan Tiger, I wonder if there was a place for wolves?

<.<

Also lol Sungei Buloh! Part of NParks!

LOL. I was actually imagining how the wolves in my urban fantasy series would look like... and walking along the sunlit path helped. I think there would be a place for wolves. With the Malayan Tiger around, they might end up performing the role as predator/scavenger, much like jackals or dholes. :)

Oooooor they might not be wolves at all. :P subspecies! or sister-species, very closely related to wolves but aren't, technically!
