Photo 365: Day 87 – Sneakers

We bought this NB toddler sneakers for our little boy couple of months ago and with the nice weather outside, we thought of trying it out this evening. To our surprise our little ones feet is too big to fit in this cute little sneakers already. There goes another pair of sneakers to charity.

I bet this should make someone happy 😉

Photo 365: Day 86 – Beets germination

I was pleasantly surprised this morning when I saw the beets germination – these pots were sitting in the tray atop the refrigerator (I had purposely seated them there  to keep them warm). Previously I had read that it takes about 7-14 days for them to germinate. In my case it took only 5 days. Only thing I could think of is because I had the seeds soaked in cold water for a day before sowing them.

I love the colors of the emerging plant. I bet the beets will taste good as well 😉

Photo 365: Day 85 – Soaker hose coupling

Bought 2×50′ soaker hose from Costco this evening to replace our 5 year old Sears bought Craftsman soaker hose. Over the period of past 5yrs it has worn out quite a bit and has been patched and re-patched umpteen times.

While deciding on what to shoot for today’s post, I saw this shinny coupling and took few pictures with my trusty Nikkor 60mm macro lens using window lighting. I am really pleased the way it turned out. As soaker hose was dark, it worked out as a backdrop for this shinny coupling.

Photo 365: Day 84 – Habanero chili

Bought these habanero chilies this evening to make homemade repellent to keep away rabbits  from munching our flower/vegetable garden 😉

Yeah rabbits are cute – as long as they stay away from our garden…hopefully the spray I made of these hot chili peppers should keep them away.

Another macro capture using Nikkor 60mm macro. Never thought this lens will be used this often in my Photo 365 project. I will have to start using my other lenses in the days to come.

Here is a “mini” drawing of Ariel made by my daughter. She used to watch lots of princess DVDs when she was a 4yr old but seems to have grown out of it now…yay!!

Photo 365: Day 78 – Pasta in a Bottle

Read that as Angel hair pasta in a bottle…LOL. Also take a look at my next bonus photo post – same set-up, but a different composition.

Photo 365: Day 77 – Sweet Paniyaram

Paniyaram – This is a traditional sphere shaped, sweet tasting snack/breakfast dish from Tamil Nadu, India. My wife cooked these for dinner this evening. What better way to celebrate my daughter’s spring break 😉

Here is the wiki entry for Paniyaram:

Paniyaram (பணியாரம்) is a dish made by steaming batter — traditionally made from pulses (specifically black lentils) and rice using a mold.
