Have you ever been on a mindful walk? It is a way of relaxing yourself and also releasing stress. We have been to Penang Botanic Gardens all our lives but have never been this close to nature. Well, this time, we walked mindfully: observing our steps and our surroundings. To our surprise, we snapped wonderful photos of nature.
This place is ideal for picnics, exercising and sightseeing. We usually prefer to walk around the hilly area and the best time to go are in the morning or evening when the sun is not too strong. We love it especially when the night before rains so the temperature will be lower and the breeze will be cooler in the gardens. However, beware the ground may be slippery after rain.
During our mindful walk around Penang Botanic Gardens, we have observed tree vines, moth mating (I think), insect camouflage, cannon ball trees, listened to the sound of the nature and appreciated morning glory flowers.
