Macro Monday – week 32

Completed another trip around the sun

The day was not overlooked and all the parties were happy 😍. Thursday afternoon I got some free time which I spent walking in the rose garden. Early blooming roses were all gone but the garden provided ample opportunity for looking into details, and to practice my skills. I would have loved soft light as the afternoon light was quite sharp like in the last image.

At least getting some images was better than missing a trip at all. Hope you enjoyed these images.

Everyone discusses my art and pretends to understand, as if it were necessary to understand, when it is simply necessary to love.~ Claude Monet

My photographic groove: A seasonal opportunist

Recently I got my first macro lens. In spite of my busy schedule at office and a great deal of social activities I am experimenting with the lens. Hope you like my trials.

Not being an expert in photography I enjoy taking various kinds of images but I must admit nature photography gets most of my attention.

Learning never exhausts the mind and I never stop exploring.

Enjoy your Weekend

P.S. – I am not able to visit blogs recently but I am hopeful to get some free time after tomorrow. Hope you will be patient with me.

Timeless

He loves me, he loves me not…

He never brings flowers.

He bought me a macro lens.

Where are daisies, I must check.

It is looking at things for a long time that ripens you and gives you a deeper meaning~ Vincent Van Gogh

Crossing the barrier –

Repeat until you reach a new level.

Start again.

Never underestimate your worth.

We need to change our way of thinking and seeing things. We need to realise that the Earth is not just our environment. The Earth is not something outside of us. Breathing with mindfulness and contemplating your body, you realise that you are the Earth. You realise that your consciousness is also the consciousness of the Earth. Look around you–what you see is not your environment, it is you. ~Thich Nhat Hanh

All love is expansion, all selfishness is contraction. Love is therefore the only law of life. He who loves lives, he who is selfish is dying. Therefore love for love’s sake, because it is the only law of life, just as you breathe to live. ~ Swami Vivekananda (Letters of Swami Vivekananda)
