We had some rain last night and I was able to shoot these rain drops on rose petals this morning. Over the past couple of days I have been taking pictures before 7:00 AM in my yard and that seems to be a good time for taking pictures of blooms, buds, and such. I kind […]
That’s moonbeam in my backyard ready to bloom anytime now. It’s a low lying plant and had to get close to the ground to shoot it this morning. So another capture with my Nikkor 60mm macro lens 😉
Those are rose buds ready to bloom in my back yard. It was a windy day this evening and I had to spend quite a bit of time for the wind to calm down before shooting this. Used my Nikkor 60mm macro lens for shooting this in manual mode. There is a bonus picture for […]
This is a bonus picture for day 120. Those are peonies in my front yard ready to bloom. We had an almost perfect weather early this evening and thought I should try out my craiglist bought Nikon 28mm manual lens. Later I found it was too windy. So when the wind had calmed down a […]
My daughter has this cool tops with smileys – the first time I saw it, I decided to have smiley as a theme for my photo post someday in the near future. This evening as was I going through my kids toys, I saw this yo-yo with a smiley sticker on it. It’s a sign […]
That’s white corn & black bean salad. That was for dinner 😉 Food photography – that is something I’m really interested in besides macro, flower, and portrait photography.

The Sun was out this noon after few days of rain. Spent some time this evening in the backyard and I noticed that the paint that my father had applied to the porch rails have all gone after 3years. This reveals the grains in the wood wood knot which has quite an interesting pattern and […]
Originally I had shot something else for today’s post and that did not turn out quite well. So as I was looking for some other subject, my little boy had picked up this box of wooden beads that we had bought for our daughter when she was 2yr old. That’s how how I ended up […]
A week before Earth day, I had a chance to read a book on container gardening and they had some cool ideas for growing plants from seeds. One among them was to use, egg cartons. So couple of days before Earth day, sowed few Marigold seeds and it’s about a week now and the seeds have germinated. […]
PETA people don’t read further 😉 I hate bunnies..yeah they are cute, as along as they stay away from my garden. In the quest to keep the bunnies away (humanely) I tried spraying my garden with hot chili peppers. That really worked, but it’s a quite a lot of work. So gave up on those and tried with […]
