Swallow Babies

Swallows are a common site around her dirtying everything they sit on. So it is only expected that one of them builds a nest right next to our front door. The bird family quickly built a nest and moved in and the young ones are ready to fly away on their own pretty soon. Captured some photos and shocked to see that from being helpless to being ready to go off on their own was a matter of 20 -30 days.

Mountain View - Sugarloaf

Some people like living near the beaches while others like the mountain. I am not sure if I can live in either of those places for a long time. I simply like watching the mountain from my window. They take on different qualities depending on the humidity and moisture in the atmosphere. They are spectacular when there is rain approaching.

Here are some pictures to enjoy!

Spring Flowers - 2017 Update

Spring means allergies - watery eyes, scratchy throats and runny noses. All not from being sick but from the pollen these beautiful flowers put out. Thank my lucky stars that allergies have not been a problem all these years but this year either the pollen is very bad or my immunity to pollen is slowly reducing.

But admiring these flowers is still allowed :)

Look at the color! Want to take a guess what flowers these are - Flowers of a PawPaw Tree!

Closer Look!

These - Pink Cascade Weeping Peach!

Beautiful aren't they?

How about These - Purple Lobe Locust!

Brightens up the area!

Apple Blossom

It is Spring! Though a fairly warm and dry one in our parts. Spring means the trees around her are full of blossoms. I did not realize how pretty an apple blossom can be.
