Skywatch Friday- Inverted Sky, Reflections in Water
You kow what happened when I was trying to take this picture? I could not fit the tree and the reflection in the same frame, so I just took the reflection in the water. For more skies from around the world please visit the Skywatch Page.
Time to Buy Another Zoom Lens?
I have been grading all those copies but this year I decided not to crib beforehand. I have said it before that I do not like grading. I am almost at the end of the pile now. So when I need a distraction, I look at my old pictures sometime. Looking at all those…

Yellow Berries from Bead Tree or Known as China Berry
Wish I knew the name of the tree on which these berries grow. It looks very similar to the neem tree and the berries are also somewhat similar to the neem. But I don’t think these are neem berries. Updated on March 2, 2012: These threes are known as Bead Tree and also China…
