Busy morning today :)

Today was yet another morning with me lying on my bed, looking out into the yard. Tiger, the neighbor's cat was there as usual. Some squirrels also playing around. Then, the blue-winged visitor came back! But he flew away before I could get the camera out. Now that I was out of the bed, with a camera, I tried to find something else to shoot at.

And I found lots of interesting things :) See...

This is our lemon tree in bloom. Love the colors!


And the pomegranate's also got some lovely flowers! Its the first time the plant's flowered!



These, are, well, just weeds. We got lots of them :(



New life on an old, old palm...at a perfect 90 degree angle!


And I think this is the badmash that ate my cherry! He's up among some high-tension wires, with a nut bigger than his head!



And then I made my way to the front yard...
this lady was walking her dog just as I got to the front. Wish I had caught them sooner...



And right after that, this vintage car came down the road in front of my house. Isn't it cute? I really like this picture. Love the red, green and the blue on that window.



Then I moved on to my flowers. This year's lilies! Such vibrant colors!




And these are my all time favorite flowers. My fucshias! I finally managed to get a satisfactory picture of them, after lots of attempts. Its so similar to the picture on my other blog!




This here is one of my cacti in bloom. Need to take more pics of this beauty.

Hey Aneri Masi, I do stop by your blogs once in a while and checked out the picture blog today. I love all the pictures in this post, especially the *weeds* one. I do echo CarolinaGal's sentiments. Do put up a picture of your whole garden.

1. New life on Palm - amazing loved it the most

2. those weeds are nothing ' Cheat grass'

3. The pomegranate flower was the 2nd best shot of that day..

4. The red car was good too.. but thoda shake ho gaya I think.. still the colors spoke a lot...

aneri_masi said...

@Preeti, thanks so much for your comment :) Arey my complaint was that the thing I could actually see is so much prettier than the pictures I take. But I am very very happy with this lot :)

@tanu, red car..yaar bhaag rahi thi na woh, isliye. Cheat grass bole to? Those weeds are almost as tall as me, they gotta go, hopefully soon!

We call these succulent flowers "Hens & Chicks". I have them in our yard too. Very nice composition. The colors are so stunning.

Your Fuchsia's are in bloom! Nice. Do you live in the SF area where they can flourish? Very nice. Love seeing flower photos of any kind.
