PHOTOGRAPH OF Lagerstroemia floribunda. Flowers are 3 cm across and one-storey high up the tree. I used f/5.0 and TV as there was a breeze. Also, I got the flowers in some 9 am sunlight. Hence the image is bright and clear.
The tree blooms a few times per year, producing erect terminal panicle-inflorescences up to 50cm in height. Individual flowers (3 cm across) have ribbed scruffy-brown calyxes (fused sepals) and flower buds. Velvety crinkled petals fade from rich mauve to pale pink to creamy-white with age, making tree appear to produce flowers of different colours all over the crown.
Lagerstroemia floribunda is grown as a roadside tree in Singapore as its terminal ornamental flowers change colour from rich mauve to pale pink to creamy-white with age.

Some hdb corridor gardens are very beautiful as there is a variety of potted flowery plants. Corridor gardens promote bonding with families and friends while growing plants outside the flats. Bring greenery into high-rise building.
Two laws:
1. HDB by-law states that no person shall erect or install any fixture, structure, object or material on any common property or in any open space within a housing estate.
2. One rule says to maintain a clear passageway with a minimum width of 1.2m clearance.

Very rare for me to see a butterfly in Taiwan esp. Taipei city in November and on few days of visit. This one posed for me to take a sharp photo. Practise more and you'll find the best settings for each situation of wildlife butterfly photography.

PHOTOGRAPHY OF 3-SPOTTED SHELL CRAB TIPS: Focus on shell spot.
Take multiple shots. Only 1/8 shots was sharp. Take wider view so that you can crop away the unwanted dishes and crockery inside the restaurant. There was no space and time to arrange for instagram shots.

I bought a green raincoat for $100 Taiwan dollars although I
wanted a white one.
The salesgirl had no stock of white ones. They
were in their 40s. Wore face masks.
I asked for permission to take
their photos and they were most delighted to.

Stroll the old street and enjoy local food such as taro balls in Jiufen and releasing sky lanterns in Shifen.
Make a wish, write it on the lantern and let it fly.
The sky lantern festival has long been used for people to pray for
their wishes. During the Lantern Festival, around February and March
each year, lanterns cover the entire sky of Pingxi.

An exasperated lady dog owner.
Canon R5, AV,
ISO 250, 45mm, f/4.5, 1/1250 sec
TAIWAN - 15 NOV 2023: 11.52am. The exasperated lady pulled the leash hard as her OLD dog had stopped walking on the crowded sidewalks of Taipei city around lunch-time. No more dog walking for him. Most dog walkers in Taipei are ladies and most dogs are small breeds such as poodles. Walking a larger cross-breed dog is uncommon.
15 Nov 2023, 11.52am. EXASPERATION. The exasperated lady pulled the leash hard as her OLD dog stopped walking on the busy sidewalk of Taipei City. Note similar striped skirts of two ladies.
