My second visit to the Qingshan Waterfall Trail (青山瀑布) on the backside of Yangmingshan (陽明山)

A wonderfully lush trail that is a bit off the beaten path

Got drizzled on for most of the hike but the clouds were starting to clear near the end

Rice fields along the mountain road leading back to the car park

Heading up to Elephant Mountain (象山) via the Songshan Tianbao Temple (松山天寶聖道宮)

I wonder if these are still in use?!

Rainy Weekends and Random Hikes ...

Me suffering from a throat infection. Levi suffering from a swollen elbow = bed rest for these two girls!

A random weekday exercise hike in the backyard = spring has arrived!

A rainy weekend spent indoors with this little one = bliss!

Another random weekday exercise hike in my backyard = I love where I live!
