Another beautiful evening......

It has been beautiful in the desert lately. And, I have been fortunate to go out and enjoy the great spring like weather... These are some of the pictures I took during my evening walk today...


 

I am constantly amazed at how such delicate flowers thrive in our harsh climate...




Love the orange ...



Peek-a-boo with a Curve-billed Thrasher.



Another shot of the beautiful blooms

Another gorgeous Arizona sunset...



A fitting end to a relaxing day...



With a promise of another day to come...

Picture diary of a short trip to Southern California

"Classic Sadabhars" outside an office compound…….they somehow always remind me of home- or rather mom’s garden in India. One of the early successes that survived…:-)

Enjoyed lunch at the neighborhood Thai restaurant …………as usual ended up eating “Pad Thai with Tofu”…one of my favorite Thai dishes after Cashew Tofu.

Our comfortable bedroom in hotel suite at the Marriott … On our way to San Clemente, we stopped at this quaint charming place for lunch….

A quick trip to La Jolla Beach…..somewhat favored beaches in south California…

On our trip back from the beach we caught tail end of fireworks at Disney…..Did not have tripod for the pictures :-(

View of Ontario airport…..

Waiting for our flight….


It is an early evening flight back home…

On our way….. :-)

Annual Cherry Blossom Festival




I was in Washington DC last week for a conference. After the conference we stayed over for few days to enjoy the Annual Cherry Blossom Festival. I have to say the blossoms in full bloom are a sight to behold. Even though this was our second visit coinciding with the fortnight long festival, the sight of the trees laden with flowers was still as breathtaking. The vision and the splendor erased the memory of airline misplacing my luggage for a full 24 hours!!!!!

The blooms splendid in all their glory also make you conscious of the fleeting quality of life. For these flowers only bloom once at the onset of the spring and that too for a few days. Last year it was almost surreal to see the petals fill the Potomac’s Tidal Basin (trees are planted all around the basin forming a circle) when a strong gust of wind blew them off the trees.

Tulips in Arlington National Cemetery

The Garden.....






Mom’s garden. She really works very hard on it. Every time I see this picture, I get very nostalgic.
