w52.8.1: Windows

Had a chance to visit Morton Arboretum in Lisle, IL with family today and shot this during our visit.

Not exactly sure what this building is used for..but it appears to be store room. I was drawn by the colors and repetition on this cute little building.

w52.7.5: Cooling Off…

Another shot from last week when we visited zoo in Chicago area…

There is no better way to cool off on a toasty summer like day than with a popsicle 😉

w52.7.4: Floral abstract

Has been a busy week fixing my 5+ year old PC. Over the past 5 years it has got too much software/junk and it had gotten to point that it needed a fresh start. So I was busy getting it back in shape, keeping things clean/organized and didn’t get much time to shoot.

Finally this evening spent few minutes in the backyard shooting floral blooms. When I saw this climbing rose, I knew I had to do a abstract shot.

Shot this using my Sigma 150mm macro lens.

w52.7.3: Checking out…

 

Another shot from my trip to Chicago area last weekend…

I took multiple pictures of this fire hydrant and I like this best among the other shots. I like the way my daughter and her cousin are checking out what I am shooting.

I wonder what my daughter is telling her cousin – I bet it’s something along the line “my Dad always does that” 😉

w52.7.2: On a hot summer like day…

That’s my wife’s niece enjoying her Popsicle on a hot summer like day during our visit to the zoo.

w52.7.1: Getting back…

It’s been an unusually busy weekend. Had to visit family and friends in Chicago area (did I say summer holidays have arrived) and had a good trip…

Shot this last evening as we were getting back from our evening walk with the family. As we were getting back, I noticed the kiddos holding hand-in-hand and their dads holding their respective kiddo’s hand. I thought it was a sweet moment..

I think I will be busy processing other photos from my trip and catching up on my fellow bloggers post(s) rest of the week 😉

w52.6.2: Up in the air

That’s my daughter swinging up in the air at a park close home this evening.

With the schools winding down, kids seems to have more time to burn and we took that as an opportunity to visit a park this evening. Kids get to play, wife get to relax, and I get to shoot pictures. It’s a win win situation 😉

w52.6.1: Petal Abstract

Any my floral shot continues…

Peonies are in full bloom in our yard and as I have already done few shots of Peonies during my 365 project last year (Festival Maxima Peony, Karl Rosenfield Peony, Sarah Bernhardt Peony) I was aiming for a macro/abstract shot.

Ended up using my Sigma 150mm macro lens for this petal abstract shot.

w52.5.3: Leaves

Got a chance to visit a park close home this evening and shot these serrated leaves during my walk in the park.

w52.5.2: Simplicity

That’s a shot of climbing rose from our backyard. With all the rain these days, shot this indoors…
