My energy sapped just thinking of the heat. The weather is tolerable enough for July. Decided to explore northern part of Ubin. Its close to shore with some comforting breeze.

The natural pond I mentioned earlier is now precariously dried out. It was teaming with fish and but whatever left are hoping for the rain to come.

Walked further north and came across some marshland off the track. The marsh shore is pebbled with granite chips. This is where granite is hauled into barges from nearby quarries. The water is shallow and the ground below is firm from the compacted granite. Mudskippers dart about as I waded in knee deep water. This should be an interesting place to explore in future.

The dogs accompanying me wasted no time to cool off and explore on their own.

Fortunately its still breezy from the wind blowing from the North. The tracks are dry making it easy to walk.

We went to the North Shore. There is a natural pond teeming with tiny little fishes. A kingfisher perch overhead waiting for an easy meal.
