Of birds and the bees

It's not what you are thinking!

Va Va Vrrroooom!

Just trying my hand at panning.

Raindrops keep falling on my head

So,  I was trying to get out of lazy mode this afternoon. But it was raining and boy, was that some rain. But I did get out my camera for a while. And I think it was so totally worth it.

Feeling blue

The color of the sky matches with my mood today. But the star twinkles on.

Looking for the pot of gold..

Under this rainbow.
Spotted my first one this year ( the rainbow, not the gold)! And I thought it would make a good start for my first blog post this year.

Celebrations

This was taken last month at my sister's engagement. Yes, that's my excuse for the missing posts, the last few days ;)

Why blend in?

.....when I can stand out.

The otherwise-ordinary-looking flowers look so good in the contrasting background.
Don't you think?

A little something...

...I did, this Diwali. So it feels a little more festive.

Blue

I love to take pictures of different hues of the sky. This was taken at Twilight.

I like the light in this one. And the mysterious feel of the photograph.

My little model!

This photograph was also taken in Yosemite. All right, this will be the last one. 

This is one of my favorite pictures. It is one of the million pictures I took of squirrels on this trip. This cute fella kept posing for me.

Paradise must be like this

This one was taken when I went to Yosemite, earlier this year.

This place was closest to my idea of heaven on earth.

Close enough to the snow that I could see it but not close enough to freeze. I could still breathe the fresh mountain air. The stream flowing by brought with it a feeling of relaxed bliss. All I could hear were sounds of the stream, the birds and the breeze.

It was so beautiful I can’t begin to describe it. Even my picture does not really do it justice.

Introducing......Pic of the week

I was reading through my previous posts and I remembered that I had decided that I will post more of my pictures. Actually, it was a sort of resolution for the new year. I know it is October already but better late than never, right? So starting this saturday, I will post one picture that I've taken every week. Yeah, I know it means I have to use my camera more. But for now, I'll cheat a little bit. You see, I have a few which I've been meaning to post, but never got around to doing it.

Any feedback with regard to the pictures are welcome. In fact, it will be nice to know what you think.

I took this photograph during the New Year celebrations, 2011 in Singapore. One thing I learnt during that photography session was that only the first few photographs turn out good. After a while, the sky is covered with smoke. You can actually see the smoke appearing already.
