Thomson Nature Park

Monday, 2 May 2022 - I've tagged this photo "COVID-19" because it was taken in May 2022, when some COVID restrictions were still in place here in Singapore, but they would have been tapering off. Nobody in the photos I took this day was wearing a mask, maybe because by this point masking up had been made optional outdoors.

I have only vague memories of this day. May Day that year fell on a Sunday, and so the following Monday was designated a Public Holiday instead. My parents, siblings, and my mother's sisters and their families, went for a walk in Thomson Nature Park, and then later the bit of Upper Peirce closest to MacRitchie. Thomson Nature Park had been relatively new then. I don't think it was my first time there, but it might have been theirs.
