The little critters were captured on camera at the Botanical Gardens and outside the Conservatory of Flowers in San Francisco earlier today. A great half day trip which the whole family enjoyed.
Very happy with the Sigma...

In other news, the sun finally came out at 5:00 PM this evening after three soggy days...

18->51->115->154->200 mm
That will do Sigma.. that will do.
Have visions of me saying like that the way "Farmer" says it to Babe...

flowers, lens, photoblog, photography, zoom Saturday, April 3, 2010 at 2:24PM Bombay had purchased some Paavaadais for the girls in India recently.
Another installment was released today!
The girls were also very excited to receive matching fake jewelry that goes with the silk frocks.
They made daddy happy by posing as usual for photos.
A detailed analysis of the fake Jewels showed that there are no real stones for most of the necklaces. The thing is actually a faceted hole in a stamped plastic with a coating on the inside. The reflections from the hole create an optical illusion that there are raised stones set on the plastic. Whoever came up with the concept is pure genius! It shines better than real stones would.
Daddy shed some Aaananda kanneer (happy tears) on seeing how far materials science has improved over the years!
Hopefully such improvements will save lots of $ for me when the kids grow up.

Friday, April 2, 2010 at 7:06PM A new bunch of flowers in our backyard. One of those bulbs which we planted two years ago.
Somehow this one was not there last year.
We are not complaining. It always makes our day to open the door and find such beauties.
