The snow backdrop!!!!! or is it??????

  Why's the pic here? Well, coz of the story I gotta tell: We had parked at a gas station enroute to Atlanta and I was lookin' around from behind my camera, when I spotted this branch which seemed set against a snow-capped mountain. I set the camera aside and realize it's cumulus (????? or is it cirrus ??????) in the backdrop!:) :)  Posted by Picasa

Abandoned!

The abandoned railway station we chanced upon when we lost our way through Virginia, en route to Tennessee. The place was simply called "Rural Retreat" :) We spotted the station and the rail line in a residential neighborhood and the whole place had this old, abandoned feel to it with unkempt barns, a small pond and a stray dog wandering about.

Far from the madding crowd!

The Smith Mountain Lake at Virginia : the lake was serene,almost mute, far from the city's garish neon glitz (almost an hr drive from the nearest town), the pastoral settings with residents going about their regular chores: when you live with such beauty around you all year (life) long,i guess, it doesn't strike u as enchanting as it was to me,a visitor. The world can wait, and it did! :)

Memories spilling over!

Now that I am back from the trip and still holding the memories tight : I think it 's not a bad idea if I share a few snapshots of the trip here on the blogosphere!

For tiny hopes like tiny flowers of Spring ..........

Was walking to school when I chanced to look down and spotted these bright, tiny, li'l things enjoying the delicate Spring warmth. Pretty, aren't they??? :)

Of Sun n Sand n Solitude!

"The sun and sea lay welded, wed; The day lay crouched upon the deep Half closed, as eyes half closed in sleep, Half closed, as some good book half read!"

Two cents' worth!

Well, no pretensions! This was a deliberate attempt to create that nostalgic feeling say Raymond's "The Complete Man" ads bring :) Or the Hallmark cards! Got my paperweights, dropped them on a bed of fallen leaves and there I had, my own "two cents' worth" moment! :)
