More Love on Maundy Thursday

Gethsemane Night
Gnarled olive branches
frame a face streaked with tears,
the agony of human fear.

Fragrant orchard blossoms
shadow a trio of sleeping men,
no watch kept by trusted friends.

The moonlit garden hillside
erupts with clamor, disciples’ dismay,
planted the kiss of death betrays.


The photo reminds me of how God's Love the World.
(The Agony in the Garden)

Two Sides of Mind Reflection

Clear Mind Reflection
This is how I picture my mind if I'm happy, very peaceful!

Out of Mind Reflection
If I'm in trouble, here's how it looks like.

Right now, my mind is the second photo...
 I have 3 hours Chinese Exam on Monday :)

Happy Weekend!

Capturing Blue Bird

I would say this Blue Bird is adapted to its environment.

It wasn't afraid when I get closer to it,
 it actually waiting for me to give something...

Tear Drops for Japan

These drops remind of Japan...

What a beauty in its simplicity...


Always looking down for humility...

The tears, the pain, the agony... hang in there...


Don't lose hope, look up for the tears not to fall on the ground...


Soon, you'll have a brand new beginning!

Praying for the Victims
of Earthquake/Tsunami in Japan!

G is for Garden and Gazebo

A Garden is never so Good
as it will be next year!
-Thomas Cooper


Gazebo + Garden = Great! 

Refereshing Water at Yang Ming Park

Man-made Falls
Aside from blooming flowers, what I love about Yangmingshan (Yang Ming Mountain Park) is surrounded with water. The place is not only refreshing for the eyes,  the sound of the water is also refreshing to the ears. Here are some water I captured from Flower Festival 2011.


The Flowing Fountain and Natural Spring Water

Another fountain in front of the building, and the natural hot spring
(smells sulfur).

Happy Wednesday!

Yang Ming Shan Flower Festival

I went to Yang Ming Shan (Mountain) Park, Taipei's backyard garden on its Annual Festival that started last February 18 until March 20. Although the Cherry Blossoms aren't in full bloom yet. I just grabbed the opportunity to visit since the weather is nice. There were lots of tourists today, and I had a hard time taking photos without any single person.


The posters and their shadows highlighting the most popular flowers in Yangmingshan, I didn't bother to look. It's my long weekend, I don't want to have headache reading those Chinese characters :)

The famous Clock Garden on its white and purple this year, surrounded with cherry blossoms. The clock has music every 30 minutes. I would say the place is surrounded with pink and purple.

The fountain, most of the cherry blossom trees aren't really in bloom. If given the chance, I'll visit the place again next week. This is the place I took my previous post ~ Flowers and Fountain.

I met an old man (photographer), and told me take photo of this wall. Actually, I was standing right in the middle and I guess it would be better if I'm not in there :)

Just few close up, the weather forecast said it's about 17-21 *C. I was sweating when I looked at the temperature it was 27*C  seems like summer in spring.

I had difficulty shooting this small cross bridge, people kept on passing by and mostly, they would stand right in the middle to take their picture.

Happy Weekend!
