Green is one of my favorite colors. I am partial to the dark green but today the photos highlight the lighter shade of green in keeping with the theme of Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week – Light Green.

Let me start with the one I am not too sure if it is light green but nevertheless a favorite color – sea green 🙂

The vastness of the sea makes me feel limitless and boundless and that perhaps is the greatness of the sea.

This view is close to what I woke up to as a child. I can still hear the whoosh of the rushing waters as it lulled me to sleep…

Enough of the maudlin stuff! On to some fun and games.

That’s what I call green on green 😀 How about some red on green?

Hmm the grass could have been greener dont you think? Like the lawns over here

Yep that’s the green version of the photo here. Now that I tricked you into visiting that page (only if you haven’t seen it before) here’s another fresh (green) photo 😀

Hope you liked the pics – Thank you for visiting 🙂

Let’s take a stroll through some of the arched corridors of time – in honor of Cee’s Black and White Photo Challenge on Circles and Curves

Lotus Mahal or the Lotus Palace at Hampi, Karnataka in Southern India is a UNESCO World heritage site. This particular palace combines Hindu and Islamic architecture.

The stone chariot is the iconic symbol of Hampi, the 14th century magnificent capital of one of the greatest empires of India.

Moving to the North of India, let’s step into a different era and style altogether

Way to the tomb of Sikander Lodhi who ruled Delhi between 1489 -1517 AD. Err the tomb itself will make an appearance later in another post 😉 In the meanwhile, feast your eyes on another tomb.

Muhammad Shah Saiyyad’s tomb who ruled from 1414 to 1451 at Lodhi Gardens, New Delhi

Hope you liked! Let me know either way 🙂 Have a super weekend.

As you know Cee loves to challenge us and this time it’s black and white (or sepia) photo challenge for Two very different things or the number Two.

I know I am late (travel times and network woes to blame). But nevertheless here they are – hope you like 🙂

Did it work? No? Well, how about this one?

Moving on and still sticking to theme of fliers but of the inanimate variety 😉

And on a completely different note – tadaa~~~

Well not quite sure if this fits the bill for they are the same things but you will agree very different? Btw the last photo is a contribution from my kid sister. Pretty soon I expect my family and friends to be out on photo shoots for my blog challenges – how cool is that? 😀

Dont forget to let me know you were here 🙂

Look who got caught hitching a ride 😀

Bored with the taxiing, they take off, showing us how it is actually done

Lots more photos on Cee’s page

This one is a toughie but Cee is rather generous! So here I go laying out the purple carpet 😉

for the gorgeous lady in the purple sari

How about some flowers for the pretty lady?

Err not really purple are they? Let’s round it up with some purple greens and some true homegrown purples by an amazing lady

How could I miss the purple ringed white bloom of the ladyfinger from my one and only mum’s garden?

A close up, just in case you missed the purple ring 😀

Hope you liked my purple collection but the best ones are no doubt at Cee’s page

 

I just love trains – don’t you? Give me a long train journey, a book in hand, a packet of chips by my side, watching the changing landscape rush by until the chug-chug lullaby rocks you into the land of dreams. And best of all – No meals to worry about, no doorbells to answer, no morning walks or jogs – Oh the pure simple joys of guiltless lolling about 😀

“I like trains. I like their rhythm, and I like the freedom of being suspended between two places, all anxieties of purpose taken care of: for this moment I know where I am going.” ― Anna Funder

“… a woman who was washing clothes in the river during the hottest time of the day ran screaming down the main street in an alarming state of commotion.
“It’s coming,” she finally explained. “Something frightful, like a kitchen dragging a village behind it.” ― Gabriel Garcí­a Márquez, One Hundred Years of Solitude

“It’s not getting from A to B. It’s not the beginning or the destination that counts. It’s the ride in between…This train is alive with things that should be seen and heard. It’s a living, breathing something — you just have to want to learn its rhythm.” ― David Baldacci, The Christmas Train

“Trains are beautiful. They take people to places they’ve never been, faster than they could ever go themselves. Everyone who works on trains knows they have personalities, they’re like people. They have their own mysteries.” ― Sam Starbuck, The Dead Isle

“The train rolled right through dinner and over the sunset and around ten o’clock and into a nap and out the next day…” ― Lindsay Mattick

“The train is a small world moving through a larger world.” ― Elisha Cooper, Train

Hope you enjoyed the ride 🙂

Don’t forget to visit Cee’s blog for her Which Way Photo Challenge for some awesome photos.

The cutest designer baggage ever 😀

For Cee’s Oddball Photo Challenge

It’s time for Cee’s Which Way Photo Challenge and as usual I had a lot of fun and hope you do too 😀

So off we go – first the WAY

Confused? Perplexed perhaps? Oh but hush while the Performer readies

And steadies:

And off he goes!

Look this way

And that way

After that lightning ‘bolt’ risking bone and sinew, time for some much needed rest 😀

Thanks Cee for hosting such lovely challenges and letting me get away with it 😉

Once upon a time, Baby sea lion was sunning with his Mama

When up came Papa sea lion…

 

He nudged and barked at the baby lion

 

Until baby sea lion gave in and left the two lovers basking in the sun

 

 

The desolate little one

 

For Cee’s Black and White Photography Challenge: Isolated Subjects.

Cee I hope I didn’t break any rules and it actually happened like I said 🙂
