Of plum blossoms and the sun...

T
Took a bus out of Taipei City on Thursday (21 Feb) to Yangming Shan. It cost just TWD30, about S$1.30 to the mountain area. On this day, Mr Sun finally showed off some of his mighty rays, casting gingerly through the bus windows.The Taiwanese in the bus cheered and some clapped! It has been cloudy and raining on some days. Though it drizzled throughout, it was not cold but quite comfortable. Dear Mr Sun, please shine more on us!

 

plum blossoms blooming everyone in Yangming Shan! They are really pretty!


Capture, capture! Captivating and so uplifting for the spirit, these flowers.

I wish I have a longer lens to just zoom in on the flowers on the bride's hair, her flowing veil and the docile delicate plum blossoms.

Did an unexpected short hike up 500 flights of steps in the forest to the top of one of the mountain. Descend by walking down the curvy road and came across this nameless shop selling noodles. It's full of flowers. The vegetable noodle soap is covered with heaps of fresh green spinach,carrots, cabbages and sea weed.Reminds me of the healthy food in REAL FOOD at ClarkeQuay, Central
And this is the view from where I was sitting, sipping in the noodles, warming my stomach. I sat there for a long time, listening and looking the swaying movement of the trees when the strong wind blow, the glistening on the tips of the leaves from the raindrops each time they move. Almost heaven....
