The hibiscus is one of the flowers that I love to photograph. I didn’t manage to take many pictures of hibiscuses when I was in Taiwan in April however during the recent trip in June I managed to see many in full bloom.
A warm orange bloom
It must have been hibiscus season as there were many in full bloom all over the theme park ( Lipao Land) that we visited.
Red Hibiscus
The red hibiscus is a common sight where I live however it was the first time that I saw one that huge at a close range.
A yellow hibiscus
An orange hibiscus
Another orange bloom
It was really nice to see so many different blooms within the park. It was really great to be able to have visual and also emotional experiences when we were at a theme park.
It had been really hot when the kids were in Taiwan this June holidays. The sun rose really early and was out before it was 6am in the morning. We didn’t really enjoy ourselves outdoor due to the heat however when we were out and about I managed to snap some shots with my DSLR
Sunflower garden
While enroute to Hsinchu we passed by a Sunflower garden near Taoyuan and stopped to view the flowers.
Sunflower with a bee on it
The sunflowers were really enormous and it was the first time I’ve seen them growing in a field. We didn’t go down into the field as the ground was a bit soggy due to the light rain earlier on in the morning.
A little duck swimming happily
There was a small fish pond at the Sunflower garden and I spotted this little duck swimming happily in it.
Another duck that I spotted
This duck was slightly bigger and had darker color feathers.
Tiger girl on a kiddy ride
The highlight to the Sunflower garden had to be this. a kiddy train ride which had a individual trains running on a train track.
The boys belted up on their trains
The kids had fun on their trains and went around the circuit twice!!
Lotus Flower
We didn’t stay long at the Sunflower garden as we hopped back on the car to visit another garden which had a lotus pond. Unfortunately the flowers have yet to bloom and I only managed to capture this shot above.
mini pumpkin growing
It was the first time that we pumpkins growing on a plant. I found it interesting that pumpkins were growing on a vine like plant as I have always thought they grew on the ground.
