Nature preacher: Presentation

Recently I have fallen in love with nature walks...During one of my nature walks I came across this bench. To my eyes it was just a dull, old, boring and monochromatic bench, especially with lots of dry dead leaves fallen all aoround it, just reinforcing the "lack of luster" image in my mind... But still something convinced me to capture it and when I looked at the photo, it taught me something about life.

 Life can sometimes be dull, boring, monochromatic and maybe even lonely sometimes and  most loved ones might have left(as depicted by the fallen leaves), yet, it can be still interesting if you can look at it from the right perspective and present it in a way such that it looks interesting. I imagined this bench painted with vibrant orange or pure white, with beatiful flowers blooming around it...I realized that it takes effort to change the look but it is not impossible. Life too, like this bench and it's fallen leaves, looks interesting when presented well, and can be changed to a colorful one, if we put the effort and remain positive. "That's how probably I should deal with the 'Fall season' in my life hoping to see spring soon:)" I thought and moved on..  It's interesting how, in order to see a complete picture, eyes is not enough, heart and mind have to equally participate...

Sleeping child!

Recently when I went walking along the beach side here in long beach, I was pleasantly surprised to see this "Sleeping child"... I mean I don't know how old this guy is, but his face looks so cute and innocent absolutely not bothered by the chaos around him just like a sleeping child! Moreover, it's a sunset in the background as you can see the colors... Wonder if it was a "Sunset bath for him?!"  

Anyway, it's not often we get to see them so easily and so near to the urban activity, so this was an interesting walk for me:).

Wow! Back after 4 years ! This blog loves me:)

I would like to continue this blog and hope to see more comments and friends here:). Hope all is well with all my previous readers and welcome to the new readers! 


I almost wanted to throw away my gnome waterer since he holds very little amount of water. I now have a watering bulb that works well. Recently it rained here in California briefly and I stepped out the next day to the balcony all set with a trash bag in hand to say bye to this gnome. When I bent down to pick him up, I simple couldn't do what I wanted to! He had collected those few drops of water and looked soooo cute! It felt like he is looking at me and saying "Look what I collected! Rain drops! See, I'm worth keeping"...  I left him in the pot as a decorative piece:)... It's interesting how we get attached to certain things, some with life and some lifeless yet close to our heart. Strange! Are you attached to lifeless things that's not worth much but still means a lot?
