Kinship

"Nature is not without loveliness, though perhaps its chief use is to illustrate quotations from the poets." ~Oscar Wilde

My last collection from summer 2011. This sea of flowers is being cultivated in the grounds of National Taiwan University. Hopefully it will be even more mesmerizing next year.

The simple life.

No particular theme for this post--miscellaneous pictures from everyday life. The black-and-white kitten and her siblings (one of them is the tabby, also in this post) have left my garden. The bougainvillea and rose are from my garden as well. The indoor shots took place at a friend's house. The second-last picture shows a reflection of a tree on my bedroom window--I took it at an upward angle from the garden below. The last picture is a Chinese paper parasol.
