April has Been More of Photography and Less of Travel
April has not been great travel wise. But it looks like I will after all go to Chandigarh for work. Hope May will be a different month travel wise. So for a few more days I will have to manage with pictures rather than travel tales.
Chinese Honeysuckle or Malti Flowers
Clicked these Chinese Honeysuckles (also called Madhu Malti or Rangoon Creeper) in my backyard. What the eyes saw, could capture only a fraction of it in my picture. But they are still a pretty bunch, aren’t they? Also on more backyard update there is a purple sunbird nest and a tailor bird nest in the henna…
Second Attempt at Stop Motion- The Model is Very Pricey!
My first attempt at stop motion photography was a mess. But I learned a lot of things. Now here is a second attempt. Still not good but an improvement on the previous one. Lessons from the second attempt- 1. The model is very pricey, she turns her face away or runs away! 2. The best…

Close Up of Gazania Flowers
Had clicked these Gazania flowers in winter with my cell phone. Such a sunny and cheerful picture they paint! They certainly made my day brighter. Are you partial to flowers like me?
There is Treasure Everywhere!
I subscribe to Calvin and Hobbes comic strips in my reader. And I was a few days back reading through a few pages of the book There’s Treasure Everywhere (the link will take you to the comic strip and a blog by Matt Gibbson). That is how I felt when I discovered these golden wheat…
Tiger Butterflies in the Neighborhood
When I cannot travel I try to see what is around me! I am blessed to live in a low rise area with many plants. As I have been rummaging through my folder I decided to take the neighborhood bird walk today. I didn’t had much luck with birds but had some with butterflies, the…
