Hello :) It is some ghastly hour of morning when all else is fast asleep in my part of the world and I am wide awake - so I just scrolled through every archive of your blog and feel saturated with the beauty of your photographs, and I love your titles too!! There is an art in titling one's posts :)
Here's wishing you a lovely few end of year weeks...

It is a precarious seat to sit & celebrate Christmas :-)

Merry Christmas MD :D

A nice photograph. I like the blurred background and the angle of the item of interest - the hummer. I'd say you got a winner here.

Netra said...

wah wah wah...! lovely capture... Do u keep waiting for the bird to do something interesting? :) Or u r extremely lucky? :D

Kutta, Now you will always Quote Shaista to shut me up. She likes your titles. She is a poet, visit her blog only if you are properly dressed, not in your silly orange curtain cloth shalwaar khamees sitting on your ghastly sofa. i will never trust a doctor wearing silly clothes. when i took Aapa for an eye test after her surgery, i couldn't help saying what an atrocious tie you are wearing. How do people trust a doctor wearing such a silly tie ?

picture is brilliant kutta, and you are pretty fast, the bird is about to take off

Dejemonos,
Thank you for your comment,and thereby letting me know about your wonderful blog.

Shaista,
I'm so glad and thankful for your poetic comment.I always love reading your blog.my friend says my titles are stupid :-)

Thanks a lot for your wishes.Hugs to you,Shaista.


Paresh,
Yeah!but he has wings :-)

Abraham Lincoln,
I'm honoured to have such a comment from a fantastic photographer.Thanks from the bottom of my heart.

Netra,
I've been trying to capture these silly birds for the past one and a half months!!Believe me,they are too fast.

Raufee,
Ha ha ,now I've got more people on my side !EEEEEE
I know my churidars are made of curtain material,i know my sofa is horrible.but i am good,right? ;-)

yeah,the bird was too fast.been followng it for quite some time now.and i was lucky enough.

rauf said...

it is not churidaar kutta, it is a shalwaar. Know the difference for godsssake.

Chudi is glass bangle. Churi/Chudi, you have to mix d and r half d and half r. Churidaar is as tight as a bangle. Shalwaar is loose and baggy.

And you spend 4000 rupees for a stupid curtain material dress.

Amrita said...

What an illuminating post MD. He looks so cute singing away merrily. He wants to be a part5 of the Christmas decorations. You snapped him in good time

monsoon dreams said...

Raufee,
But you understood what i meant,right?;-)
hindi is greek to mallus,dee.
Hey,I never spend so much on dresses.All my salwars put together might cost 4000 rupees dee.I think it is a sin to spend so much on clothes.

Amrita,
Yeah I was lucky enough to snap him at the right time.Xmas is a time of joy,nostalgia and hope.

Devika said...

Nice photos, MD since my last visit...but i came to say your previous photo sparked an idea for one of my posts today (Luckily i got an apt photo)...But I too always thought of mushrooms as umbrella -- i think most of us did :)

wishes,
devika

Nice shot!

Anjana said...

Wow! fantastic capture and a very nice composition too!

It’s great to see that you have found your ways with aperture settings and the high end of your lens.

It’s always a challenge to snap these lil birdies especially when they are in full flow. Patience always pays off right? :D


Merry Christmas MD =D
