Summer

       When I was a high school student, I read a poem called "The School boy" written by William Blake as  a part of my curriculum. In that poem the poet explains us about the beauty of summer in the form of school boy's preference to enjoy the summer morning rather than sit and study in a dull atmosphere. I didn't realize the beauty the poet explained until few days back.  To me summer means, terrible high temperature(40+) where people die due to sun stroke. We can neither go out nor sit inside without an air conditioner.

    I really don't know wether Taiwan is an ideal place to enjoy summer but for me this is many times better than the typical Indian summer.
      We can enjoy the scenic views of dawn and dusk. Different phases of moon and her warmth under which we can enjoy skylarking with friends. Especially when sky filled with stars and pleasant crescent moon, this is really awesome to watch and spend time with our beloved. Showers in summer always have a special feel. They not only relieve us from the sun's harshness but also can recharge the whole environment. Summer can never be complete without a morning walk where  we can enjoy the songs of early birds, fluttering noises of butterflies, bees  and last but not least the cool see breeze.

  Started to capture some butterflies, although I am not an expert in taking pictures of such dynamic creatures. May be I need a professional camera to control shutter speed.
