In July I was on official break from my routine life. I was in India, confined to home in a way and had very seldom opportunities to go out with camera. I had limited access to internet but able to share a post in mid of July “My vacation” .
After coming back I shared another post, “Getting back after vacation is difficult“. For lens artists photo challenge, here I am presenting more pictures from my vacation which I captured either in my own garden or walking around a lake.
Relax, Recharge and Reflect. Sometimes it’s OK to do nothing ~





Beautiful feathered friends and priceless quote!

Me neither. It was the first time I saw it and I was so happy as we detour from our usual walking path.
We have to try different routes for better understanding 🙂

Thanks Laurie.
It was difficult as I was inside and those were the free spirits and keeping the camera in veranda was not possible due to security reasons 🙂
Next time I shall make bird feeders, hope that will help for better photography.
