My beautiful Bacsac pots are no match for Taitung mouse. I need to do something to prevent a mouse infestation soon.

As the night sky turns into daybreak
At 4am, I am normally sound asleep. This morning, Ping was already up and he had been outside (got up to pee). On this summer night cooled by the breeze from the mountain, the summer constellations are all visible, even in the presence of very bright moon, the type that would cast moon shadow on the ground.
This is the moment that we want to capture in our mind’s eyes.
Mirror beach is back!
十年前我們日出時會開車到這個沙灘晨跑。一次大颱風後，不曉得是刮走沙子還是小石頭滾上，從此無法在沙灘上跑步。今年夏天，沙灘回來了。趁著退潮時，好好享受沙灘上的海水宛如一面鏡子般反射著東部湛藍的天空，
A huge typhoon several years ago altered the land contour, and turned this beach into a pebble beach. Beautiful but not that easy to enjoy. The sand is now back and at low tide we can run on the beach again! Enjoy
Jihui Harbour 基翬漁港
Never knew there is a harbour here, Jihui 基翬港, just north of Chenggong Harbour.
It is a makeshift port, used by 定置漁場 people to get their catch to the land. There is a Rescue Turtle signage, and we did see a turtle, a dead one, on the beach.

White wine loving beetle
Another beetle
This one wears a fashionable colour combination of army green and yellow spots.
赤腳青銅金龜
Found a pair of emerald coloured beetles greeting me at the door this morning. The baby flew away before I could take a picture. Now I finally understood why people would be inspired to make jewellery of these gorgeous beetles.
