I took a walk at my apartment complex one fine day to clear my head. I didn’t expect to find this, a lush green oasis just beside the swimming pool grounds. Here’s the path that leads to it.
And here are pictures of some nice flowers (I dunno their names, but I think the purple ones are bougainvilleas; I’m not a flower expert) If anybody knows what the orange ones are called please drop me a comment, thanks.
I sit frequently on one of these swings to meditate, to contemplate—or just to waste time!
Here’s a part of the garden which I really like. The nice thing is that you can sit here on the grass during most mornings or afternoons and be by yourself. Solitude is good for the soul sometimes.
Last but not least, two pictures of the big swimming pool. Yes, there are three cute dolphins in it.
Hope you enjoy these pictures!

I believe those orange flowers are called Bird of Paradise…very beautiful flower, more beautiful when its a mixture of golden orange and deep red…
Btw, which apartment are you staying in?? Those 3 dolphins look ever so familiar!!

Omigosh, you’re right! Thanks, Emily. I live in Grandview Apartments.
Strelitzia (The Bird of Paradise or Crane Flower) is a native of South Africa. The meaning of the flower is freedom, magnificence and good perspective.
It’s amazing how knowledgeable my readers can be. Thanks for dropping by, Sabrina.
Beautiful pictures, Philip! Thanks for sharing! It’s nice to see what’s in your little corner of the world so very far away. And to note that it’s not that much different from what you can find here.. in the summer… the other seasons it would be much different. :p
You’re very welcome, Heather. Goes to show that sometimes you have to venture forth to discover new things, if you know what I mean
