As usual, when I was about to call it a day..this photograph happened. This is not the first time it is happening, very often the best happens  at an unexpected time, in an unexpected way. Be patient. Never give up. lumix fz200, iso 400, f2.5, flash on

It is my intention to present - through the medium of photography - intuitive observations of the natural world which may have meaning to the spectators. Ansel Adams

“Time means little; I never notice its passing.” ― Stephenie Meyer

Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you. Nathaniel Hawthorne

“My day is done, and I am like a boat drawn on the beach, listening to the dance-music of the tide in the evening.” ― Rabindranath Tagore, Stray Birds

Marine drive is the place to watch beautiful sunsets. This photo was done a couple of months back, towards the fag end of the monsoon, so some traces of the clouds were still present adding some texture to the sky. Canon 550D, Tokina wide angle.

“...dusk is the time when men whisper of matters about which they remain silent in the full light of the sun.” ― Simon Raven

This is one of those serious attempts of mine with a canon on a tripod, with slow shutter speed at the Marine drive Kochi, which is very near our backyard.

Dimple the chameleon @thebackyard

Today is the second time I came across this chameleon @thebackyard. She emerged from somewhere by around the sunset time, and posed for some photographs. This is the first one of the set of photographs I clicked  with the Canon 550D, and the 300mm lens. After this one, I clicked the rest with the lumix fz200, which has a more powerful zoom at 600mm. Will post those photographs clicked with the lumix later. Whenever I am at the backyard, I started searching for this chameleon, and today I named her Dimple :-), hoping to meet her again..
