Atlanta has been experiencing some extremely unpredictable weather but every once in a while, this fabulous day comes along. The sun shines, never burns… the wind is omnipresent, always gentle and every living organism seems to revel in the light, myself included. My mood shifts with the weather, have to grant that. The sunny days always find me bubbling along while a dark overcast sky can make me morose for no reason.
I have been carrying my camera in my bag every where I go and these are a few of the decent shots that I have got…
Kids can be such utter darlings and hopeless rascals at the same time. Needless to say, they are the most adorable creatures in this creation. Can you believe it, not a single child in this pic understands Hindi and yet each one is glued to the giant TV watching Swades. Such a cute pic, even if I say so!
This is one of those cherry blossom trees, I believe. For some strange reason, most likely to be my incompetent photography skills, the lovely pink seems to be have a bluish hue. Oh, I guess it’s because of the blue sky above… Pardon my naivete, I am still learning!

About the third photo: check the ‘white balance’ setting on your camera. If you take outdoor photos in sunny conditions with ‘indoor’ setting, it will be blue like that.
About the second photo: those kids shouldn’t be sitting so close to the TV.
About the first photo: we are slowly starting see some greenery around here too. It will still be another week or two before it becomes lush like your photo.

Thanks for the tip, Parag.
Will check the white balance the next time I take a pic in the outdoors.

nice pics L.
The cherry blossoms is particularly nice! Generally all pics with P&S cameras have a bluish tinge. Just more noticeable here. In Photoshop tweak levels to decrease the blues, or e-mail it to me.
