Mother bird.

 A bird has built a nest right below my deck and last week I caught the bird with worms in it's mouth. Most probably taking food for it's children. What a delight! The bird is not that pretty but that was my close encounter with a bird and a camera and I was quite happy with the outcome as I am not a wild life photographer. I have to hone that skill. I am not sure what you think.

Some more info-
ISO -160
Shutter Speed-1/160
F number - F2.8

Wild flower.

Pretty wild purple flowers are all I see where there are no other flowers. Love their sight. It rains here off and on, so love to snap them whenever I get a chance. They are delicate, colorful and lovely.

Some more info-

Spring has sprung in my part of the world. The month of April - May symbolizes the birth of new growth in all kinds of trees.

The barren twigs have found beautiful young green leaves. The trees with all the light and sun cannot wait to give off their beautiful creations that bring so much greenery around us, makes us lively, sweeps away the dampness and coldness of winters. Life is outdoors and a photographer's life is full of subjects waiting to be clicked and kept in their memory books for ever. It symbolizes new beginnings and ideas.

Some of the trees have bloomed into beautiful flower bouquets. There are more flowers than the leaves. The white, yellow, blue and pink flowers are there to give the color to the barren land. As you pass by these flowers, you can smell the lovely fragrance and instantly you feel that you are in heaven.

Another special day is Mother's day which falls on 12 of May every year. A mother is one who is always close to her children no matter how far they are. It is rightly said that God could not be everywhere and therefore He made mothers. Let us remember our Mothers and thank them for all that they have done for us.

A very Happy Monday to all ! Hope everyone enjoyed the weekend. This weekend I went for an excursion to take some shots of the snow capped Lighthouse. There was snow but not capped on top of the Lighthouse.

I got the opportunity to take closeup shots of the light house. I could have never dreamed of taking shots of the snow covered lighthouse. I used to huddle in the warmth of my home. I have started liking the winter scenes.

 Hope you like these clips of my excursion.

This morning was a bright, calm and cool morning . Bright by the overlay of snow all around. There is not much happening outside, just cold chilli weather. The past few days have experienced snow storms. This is one of the pictures I took the other evening of a snow storm.

Last night was a rewarding night as I could take some pictures. So obviously a sense of fulfillment persists in the morning too. Looking forward to a great Friday. Happy Friday to all!
