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!

And the clock garden with it's beautiful hearts!
And those lovely blossoms. They may not be in full bloom, but they are still in bloom - ours won't be for several months yet!

You've done a great job to catch the shots without people standing in the way! The cherry blossoms look beautiful, particularly the one with the circular brickwork.
Fabulous photos. I especially like the one the old man told you to take.
So beautiful...Happy SSS!
