Thursday still in Taipei

The area of Ximen in Taipei is great fun.  Ben my guide took me there first and I loved it.  The colourful sights and the smells and the shops were delightful.  

I went back with my husband and we spent a long time walking through the various parts and watching the young people meandering in their favorite shopping malls.

My first ever time in Taiwan to be more precise Taipei.

My husband because of his work often goes there and as a birthday treat this year took me to visit this capital city.  The photos in the next few days are going to be of my trip.

Those are first impressions of a very busy colorful energetic place.

Arriving at the airport seeing the temperature cheered me up!

Short walk to the metro passing various shops.

This or That Thursday

This was taken on the 21st January, it had snowed both on the Friday and Sunday all day.

Since living in England I had not seen that amount.

I know it causes a lot of chaos for transport and people having to be places but I love the country looking so white.

I know not very original, but this parcel box was staring at me and it had a 2 on it!!!

A Touch of Spring

My shutter opened at the right time, the bumble bee was darting in and out of the fritillaria and this one was not open enough so it was in view slightly longer.
