As we went around the area from which we could see the bald eagles at Alton, we saw these gulls wheeling over and around the reservoir. They keep shitting all over the gates. what is amazing, though, is that one of these by-products has actually taken on the likeness of a gull itself!

I was sorting and posting the pics of the bald eagles to Flickr, and I came across this picture, which I just loved, for its combination of textures, shapes, and colours…here it is…it’s FOG, which is not fog, but Frost On Ground…

As I tried using the Tamron lens on my walks in LA, I snapped many pictures of garden flowers; I realize that it seems rather “infra-dig” (beneath one’s dignity, in a very Indian idiom!) to post pictures of garden flowers…but I have no dignity, being still a photographer who is an L board (another Indian idiom for someone who is learning )…so I am going to post some pictures of flowers…

Feeling irritated. The seminar that KM (and hence, I too) rushed home for, which he had put in a lot of work organizing, has been postponed…they called him to tell him this yesterday. If not for this seminar, we would definitely have stayed on a few more weeks with DnA; they would have been so happy, too, to have someone to come home to, in the dreary winter evenings; and since KM and I are very much at home and completely able to get about by ourselves, it wouldn’t have been difficult for us, either. So, of course, we get to know now…
