Flowers!

As I mentioned in my other blog, "Idle Thoughts", I didn't travel for almost three years. The blogging took a backseat too. Perhaps to compensate for travel, I developed an interest in photography, specially of flowers. Also, got hooked to facebook, and the whole lot of photos that I took, in the day-to-day life, usually on my cellphone, was shared on FB. For a long time, I intended to share them on this blog too, but didn't get around to it.
Finally, here I am, at long last, sharing some flower/nature pics from a recent trip. And btw, these ones are not taken with a cellphone, but with a DSLR :-)


Pink Frangipani

Desert Rose - a rare one with only four petals
