Labrador Park - last park post for 2014

 The last walk in the park for the year 2014. The December morning was cool and a light breeze made the walk very pleasant even though it was mid-morning when we got there. The familiar jetty that was once the hangout of enthusiastic anglers but which is now closed to the public for whatever reason protrudes out into the sea without purpose and without meaning. However, the enveloping greenery of the park was unsurpassed. Even when I was in Taman Negara at the particular resort that had unfortunately succumbed to the recent floodwaters, I did not get to enjoy as much lush greenery as I often do in this park. The trees in Labrador Park have stood their ground there for many good years and their trunks are testimonies to the good life that made them so tall and strong. The highlight of today's walk was seeing a big spider with her tiny mate above a red ant nest that was made up of leaves that the ants had stuck together. Of course the butterfly that visited the lovely, bright red Ixora flowers were part of the highlight as well.
