""Photography"" I just love it.... whether it be nature, birds,flowers...

I need to grow little more to reach the sky.......

Finally I got some free time today, to blog about our short trip to the Duke Gardens a week ago, that is there in Durham, nearly 20min. drive from home.

As some of the highly skilled photographers do, they go to the local florist and buy some cut flowers to photograph. We are not of that category, but are little interested in taking photographs of the beautiful nature, flowers, birds and the wildlife.

I am very happy and proud to share those very beautiful snaps with everyone. I don’t mind if I don't get a wow from these snaps, I am sure we will try to reach higher in our photographic skills as there are still many things to explore in our camera Canon S3 IS.

After a very long cold and snowy winter, spring finally came and the wildflowers are really bursting out all over the place and we have been getting a few decent shots, everyday brings forth more color and varieties so we should have a few more images to post now and then.

A rare kind of flowers that we came across there, I forgot to take down their names. But very beautiful to look.

Different varieties of colours of Tulips that we got to see there. We were very excited to take photographs of those beauties.....My favorite two pleasant colours in the collection of all Tulips there.....

An unbloomed beauty which was waiting and posing for a photograph of ours....

We found a brave Squirrel and Rabbit near by that were continuously hopping around searching for something to munch, and we took a snap of it with a very adorable pose of both of them .....I love the way both pose to the snap:-)

A few pictures of the birds that we were able to capture after waiting and flying behind them to eagerly capture it in our camera.....and bringing it home with us. I had also taken a few near our home.

The two near dear friends who very often come near to our backyard and discuss something.. I keep guessing what they talk to.. let me know if you can guess what it is....

Sparrow, thats becoming an extinct species in India, and we rarely get to see. Those were the days were the sparrows used to build nests at home in the shelves and roofs at villages. So I was very happy to take close shots of them in the camera.....

This is the Red Cardinal bird, which hardly stays for a few seconds in front of the lens... after a very hard try and zoom we could capture only so much...a very notorious bird ....

Beauty of the sunset...I just love taking snaps of the sunset whether it be a beach or mountains or lake or a plain ground... what the place be I just need the sky, sun and a camera and I start to take snaps..The first is at the Crabtree Lake, near our home and the second one is from our neighbor apartment where the sunset looks very beautiful...as usual...

With more time on my hands I should be able to get out and add more shots to my portfolio, thanks for taking the time to visit my blog and leaving comments I know it’s hard with the busy schedules everyone has I really appreciate the time you take to stop by.

Once again thanks for stopping by and taking a look , your thoughts are always appreciated and welcome.
