Walking into the Senmozhi Poonga, we first noticed some small fish tail palms. Apparently the fibre of this tree is so strong, it is used to tie elephants!
And a little inside was a carpet of this lovely little yellow flower..
Some birds had come visiting and looked much like statues on the water bodies that had been built.
Plenty more small plants...

And another very interesting tree- the terminalia mantaly - whose branches were parallel to the ground instead of pointing skyward like most other trees.
And clear blue skies... in all, the perfect day for a lovely stroll.
