I am over seventy and starting my second year in Flickr from January 27, 2009.

I love to see nature in all its forms. Have played my innings as a bread earner for the family and now I am enjoying the bread earned by the younger ones in my family which includes all with whom I have ever had associations.

I enjoy travelling and recording whatever catches my fancy using now a Lumix FZ35 or any of my childrens' cameras, if handy. Since 1996 have been spending some time in US every year. This 2008 early winter my daughter gifted a Nikon D40 with two lenses, 18-55mm and 55-200mm. Pampering is what I call this. But thanks to her!!

My Canon PowerShot G3, which I loved immensely, served me so well and now I have gifted it to my brother. To be able to travel light I bought a Lumix FZ 35 in August 2010 and I am getting to know it at least as well as I knew my G3.

I have been receiving invitations to post of my photographs with some of the groups. I wish to thank them all.

Further, I wish to tender my apologies that I may not remember to fulfill the condition of commenting on group members' photographs. Not that I do not like them but simply because, I am lazy. If this crime of mine is punishable I am willing to accept the decided punishment without grudging.

I am grateful to my fellow Flickr members for rekindling my interest in photography. My days have found another interesting engagement immensely enjoyable. When I read any comment of our friends my efforts are paid in full. Therefore, please feel free to use any of my photographs in any manner which can bring joy or even a smile anywhere. I will also feel extremely honoured if I am told about the use, but, please do not think that it is a condition.
