Went to Yangmingshan today with Mom and Athan to view the Calla Lilies being grown there and do some actual flower picking!:)
 |
| See the fog?? |
The place was in the mountains, so the weather was cold and breezy. Forgot to bring a jacket, but thank goodness for long sleeves!
This is another thing I love about Taiwan. Just a bus ride away and you'll be able to enjoy nature at its finest. :)

| Mom, Me and Athan! |
Athan got ecstatic when he saw the field of Calla lilies and wanted to immediately go flower picking!
 |
| Together with the other people picking! |
We picked about ten lilies and let me tell you, Athan and I are SO not the best flower pickers!=P Some of the stems were short and the others were tall. The rest of the people picking near us had perfect stems! One Calla lily is equal to NT$ 10, so after picking we went to pay for them and even the lady packing the flowers said, "What happened to these??!" She made me feel like we butchered it! Yikes!:)) But, judging by the picture, we still had an awesome time. :)
After our flower power picking, we went to this store that sells vases and other pretty plants...
These were really beautiful, but what caught my attention were these super cute baby cactus!^_^ I begged my mom if we could take one home, but she said we could have four!!:)
Athan excited to take our new babies home!:)
It was a really tiring day, because the travel time all in all was like about 2-3 hours, but I'm happy we did something different for a change. :) I can't wait for next week!!!
Hope you all are having a great start to your weekend. :)

that photo of Athan looking up at you is just priceless. his smile tells a vivid story of how much he's having fun picking flowers. :) that's so lovely. :) calla lilies are one of my fave flowers! :) especially the small bright yellow ones! :)
ReplyDeletedid u also notice that flowers [plants in general] are more colorful and vibrant/alive in other countries compared to here in mla. our air is polluted. :(
liit pa ni athan here and your hair is so long! hahaha
