Raindrops!!

Raindrops on a cobweb!!

Raindrops over a fallen leaf!!

Beautiful Blue

Shrubs on barren land

A Pine Cone!!

A fallen pine cone, near Lake Tahoe.

Fall above me!!

Up above you were in green,

All the way sprouting dream.

Then the wind struck you hard enough,

And it hurt you bad enough.

You began to turn oldish,

And even gold-ish.

Changing colors all around,

And giving up on the ground.

Even at the pinnacle of life,

You are the beauty of faith.

Showing us in bounty,

That change is lovely

In all its style.

Sunset is here :)

A beautiful sunset on my way back home.

I scorch you all day,

Leave you sweating your way

Here I leave to keep you cool,

And will be done by the moon.

Starbucks!! A Getaway friend :)

Am here to share my experience at a Starbucks near my home.

I have never been an ardent fan of Starbucks all these days. But it was a real comforting friend when I needed a change. It was a lazy Saturday and I was bored of being at home, so I walked with my curriculum book for a walk and a goal to finish my reading assignment. As you must have seen a glimpse of my neighborhood, it is an example of nature's serene beauty . I love to walk along the canal anytime of the day. I was tempted to enter Starbucks as I passed by though I don't drink a lot of coffee. Retro music playing at the backdrop and people forming a line every ten minutes, kept the service people busy. I found a spot for myself at the near corner of the room, cozy, comfortable, far away from hindrances. It was refreshing to watch strangers, placing their order, finding their new flavors. An elderly couple spending beautiful time together was a delight to watch. The best thing you can ask for is peace, which i could find amid-st the crowded atmosphere. And nobody will ask you to leave just as you finish your coffee. Reading a paragraph, sipping on my coffee, watching new people gave me a refreshment.

This is my suggestion for those who feel cluttered by everyday monotony, take a break, spend time alone with nature and novelty. You will be able to clear up your mind, start up fresh with a jump start.

The Rays !!

Enjoying the Breeze!!

Amongst Lagoons !!

Be it sunny or gloomy day you would always be engulfed by the cold breeze pushing you to fold your arms in search of warmth. Just as it is cold, don't underestimate the sun; it is really efficient enough to bring on tans and sun burns. 

Routine life in a resort !! WOW !!!

It has been quite sometime since I turned the pages of my blog roll or attempted to write. Shifting to a new place is not like a breezy walk on a beautiful evening. It started with planning and execution for every little thing. The toughest part of the move was 2 weeks of separation from the world; I mean the absence of Internet at home due to shifting process. Unlike our country where cable, telephone are exclusive, here it is not the way. Internet is the only source for everything. If you have internet you have the whole world under your feet, if you don’t have it you have nothing.

That was really difficult to be out of the world. But the moving-in and moving-out duties kept me busy on my feet. Coming to this new place was exciting for every person who heard than myself, because it was California !!

Every stranger who heard the name praised about its climate especially. I dint anticipate it to be any dreamland but it was indeed. Green carpet laid as grass bordering the roadway, greenish water bodies let into the housing area as beautiful lagoons which had been maintained very well, flashy flowers and various kind of vegetation captivating us to take a closer look. Here is an image from the internet, as a preview.

Hook on to my page for the scenic beauty that would treat your eyes and take your breath away.

Rise all, Phoenix:

Thank you Blog Adda for featuring my blog in "Spicy Saturday Picks".

  

Seismic jolt shakes us all, By raising the elixir as a wall; Invading the precious life And flooding the shelters of all. World lending its hand To lift the fallen from holocaust; Providing them basics, To revive their life in debris. Social networks throw light To find the loved ones in plight, From the voracious Monster, That swept away the hopes of future. Resurrecting from the past, Radiations posing newer risks To the clinging lives' grief, Impeding their recovery. Nature turns its back Freezing the homeless; Joining hands with radiation beast, To satiate their crave for life. This is not your destiny Your potent is no match; You shall rise as a phoenix, And shine as "The Land of Rising Sun" .

White Fairy!!!

An exquisite fairy peeping out

As an ocasional guest

Spreading around the merry

To kids and teens

Falling down as flurry flakes

Each one unique from the other

Reaching the ground without

Thrusting each other

Spreading a blanket uniformly

Without any inclinations

Calling out the kids to jump

 And play to mark their footprints

Making Snow mans at every corner

Kids Play throwing snow balls

And couples enjoying the weather

With a hot cofee and hands held together

Retreating from the sight

She turns the snow into crystals

Making them sheen

On the tree tops reflecting the sunshine.

Adorning the nature's beauty

Much in every different way

Awaiting to see you

On your next visit dear fairy!!

Fall’10

This has been the much expectant season in this foreign land-“The Fall”. This is my first view of the chameleonic trait of trees. This trait does not endanger anyone but itself. Captured in stages by cameras, admired as a breadth taking sight, can be paralleled to the final stages of human beings.

We would have heard a debatable topic; “Which is the beautiful part of life?”. Every stage is beautiful in its own way. But the final stage where a man rests after working all through his life, enjoys the company of his family, playing with the grandkids is a unique joy. Similar to that here is when a tree transforms its appearance; dries and withers away. It does not fight to survive it lush greenery. Technically, this is a dormant stage to flourish when the sun will rise in the spring. But the trees bring in smile of the beholders even in its last stage before it withers, just as the elders just wait to see only happiness of their successors.


I am really excited to see the beautiful trees changing its colors to yellow, red, orange and maroon. Here are some of my favorite shots.

Shots at Sight

It is always pleasurable to see love among living being. Here is a click from my patio on a fine morning. These birds were moving around the roof, chasing one another for about ten minutes. Here it is for your view.

Harmonious Nature:

We have read about the balance struck by nature with the food chain in every ecosystem. The creator has baked this world into a perfect cake with the proper blend of taste and nutrition. The world is a combination of opposites like the day& night, summer & winter, good & bad, beauty & beast. Beauty attracts attention and is in the eyes of the beholder. Every creature in this world is endowed with beauty in its appearance or its specialty. Here is my post to compare one of the beautiful creations and one of the weirdest.
