Plums are one of the most favorite photographic theme in Taiwan. This year I went to Sen-Yi in Nan-tou County,Taiwan three times. Due to Typhoon Morakot last year,the road leading to the plum resort were badly damaged and it was a hard time to get there.

To avoid monotony,usually I take the calyx and branches together with the petals.
