It has been quite a while since my last visit to the annual Sentosa Flower Fest. I was busy shooting for my photography class assignments, this time last year. I can’t remember what I was doing at this time the year before that. The last time I’d gone to the Flower Fest was in 2009. In my memory, the Flower Fest was much more interesting, there were certainly more flowers. This time, the visit is disappointing. My Mum accompanied me to the Flower Fest, and she complained it was (hot and) boring. Yeah, I certainly do miss the times shooting in Buffalo, at least you don’t perspire from heat. But it’s better to be drenched in sweat than having my hands succumb to frostbite. Anyway, I was photographing these flowers when a group of older women walked passed me and asked what these flowers are. For some reason I told them these are cherry blossoms. How wrong could I be… These are peach blossoms. Yes, these are essentially flowers of a peach tree.
