Sunshine and Shadow

Cherry blossoms!!!

..very pleasing, to the eye and the mind.

Of Bricks and Stones

The resort (Club cabana) had an open air theatre. Loved the architecture of it. It was pretty peaceful there, with a nice wind, lots of trees and birds chirping. Sandhya and I had a nice time chatting. :-)
Pics follow.







The water rides and attractions there were pretty good too. There was a jacuzzi, few rides and a wave pool. The best of the lot were the small huts in front of the pool. Ideal place to take a nap on a hot afternoon!

A few abstractions follow!

Yeh kaun chitrakaar hai

Our team from office went to Club Cabana yesterday to celebrate a successful release! As most of the badminton, TT etc. courts were occupied, Sandhya and I went around the gardens experimenting with the camera. Ended up discovering many options in the camera I never knew existed! :-)

As usual a lot of macros and flower/nature pictures followed. The best part - my first snap of a drongo! :-) Had seen loads of them on the electric wires by the road, during the drive to bagalkot/hampi, but could not photograph them. The resort had a lot of birds, but could capture only this.

Pics follow.

The drongo (not sure what the exact name is though)

Splash of colors follow




now for a white (read serene) break



Followed by shocking pink! The unmatched bougainvillea, of course!

hari hari vasundhara pe
neela neela ye gagan
ki jiske baadlon ki paalki
uda raha pawan

dishaye dekho rang bhari
dishaye dekho rang bhari
chamak rahi umang bhari
ye kisne phhol phool pe
ye kisne phhol phool pe
kiya singaar hai
ye kaun chitrakaar hai
ye kaun chitrakaar
ye kaun chitrakaar hai

Thus sang Mukesh. True isn't it?
