Sun burst...

Dozed off in the bus on the way to office,when a sudden jerk woke me up...

Wow, the most amazing sight was in front of me...I usually sit in the front of the bus and so my view out through the front glass ..er..windshield, is usually not hampered by seats in front of me..

The climate in Dubai is still unpredictabe and each day has a different weather report. However the cloud formation was absolutely amazing this day... and through the clouds, the sun was just breaking out..a wonderful sun burst!!

I doubt the pics here do nature's beauty the justice it deserves but I simply had to put it up.


All these pictures were taken between 7 30 and 8 in the morning. Just look at the sun shining out of the clouds. Thanks to the cloud density, the contrast is even more beautiful, don't you think??



I did take a lot more than the 4 pictures I have put up here but feel these many are enough for now. The shades and colors in the below picture are amazing. The bluish tinge on top and the yellowish tinge at the bottom, all in one frame!! The silhouettes of the tree and minaret add to the overall effect. Feels like a cross between day and eve all in one screen.




Here is another one, but without the silhouettes. Truly a breathtaking sight, which is probably why I lost my sleep after seeing this piece of natural beauty.



This is not a weather report...

Those of us living in Dubai are definitely seeing some erratic weather conditions aren't we?? Standing out at 7 15 am waiting for the office bus, I am usually only half awake... but thanks to my new found interest in Photography I clicked this...




It was only the next day, when I was in the same place at the same time (with no conscious thought actually being given to my photography) that I realized the difference in the scene in front of me... Its actually amazing... such a difference in 24 hours.. I do realize that many people in many places have seen even more drastic changes but hey..this is me!!! This is me waking up to see the world through my mobile camera. LOL!!


So, now that I have woken  up... I ll be posting more n more pix...kindly bear with me!!!

Logging onto Blogging...

Have you ever found  yourself unable to focus?? Too many voices and ideas running in your head...
well, I'm like that. I like to try new things...I don't lose interest quickly or anything like that but I do find a new interest in anything I happen upon...

When my younger one was born, I had to stay up nights( don't we all??) but I felt my moods dipping a lot..probably post natal depression or maybe even because I was missing office ( I had enjoyed work, u know..). Anyway , I needed to find some interest and so I tried my hand at crochet.. I had always been interested in it but the stitches never made sense.. YouTube was a great help and so was my cousin Rai... and I found myself crocheting a lot.. a lot lot..

My kid was about 2 years when I tried my hand at sewing.. my aunt's machine seemed to beckon me all the time when I visited and soon I was measuring and cutting materials. Like all sewaholics, I soon filled bag after bag .. with materials found on sale. Said bags are still in my room, but somehow when I feel like a new sewing project, I always wanna shop for more ...
Next came quilling..I saw an article on these cute quilled earrings and went shopping for supplies soon after.. you get the picture right?? I want to try everything...and consequently the noises in my head..

That is when I decided to start blogging.. I think that here, I will be able to relay my thoughts and generally organize my thoughts better.. and I' m sure there is many a kindred spirit out there who can relate and offer tips too...

I must say though, I don't hop onto new interests leaving earlier ones stranded or such.. I still crochet..I still stitch.. I m currently working on silk thread bangles...and my newest baby..my blog...sigghhhhhh!!😉

Plays of light...

One thing that has always fascinated me is the play of light when it falls on water or crystals or anything for that matter. Yes , the laws...
