Foto Friday - My Street.

From the top:-

1. This is the street where I live. It is quite short, about 100 meters long, and is situated at the foot of a small verdant hill. As such, every morning, I awake to the sound of birdsong.
2. Here the twilight of dawn can be seen around 6 in the morning.
3. The noisy neighbours opposite. They are urbanized by now and are very agile. Food left outside the house can disappear in a flash. They are not fussy eaters and will grab anything including those in the dustbin.
4. These are the flowers that I have planted by the gate. I like the dainty pink flowers and they grow the whole year round.
5. At times, I received some beautiful visitors. This beauty came to visit my zinnias.
6. One day these three merbok (zebra doves) came to the gate to ask for directions to Pulau Gula (Sugar Island). They claim that they want to meet their cousins there. The swamps on Pulau Gula, located off the coast of Perak, are where migratory birds stop to rest on their way to and from home.
7. Taiping in one of the wettest towns in South East Asia and it is famous for its rainstorms.
8. These grasses located opposite my house are bending in the wind. Strong wind, lightning and thunder often accompany the rain.

I really enjoyed the shots of Taiping Lee. What a lovely town it is.

Hi Lee!! An excellent collage and narrative. Thank you so very much. You can tell from the foliage lushness that you have a great deal of rain there annually. But that's why it's so beautifully green.
