I often shoot what is referred to as snapshots which is just a quick and less planned out shot. You take your camera, point and shoot, no regards to framing or composition. Snap shots are relegated to family events usually, cause you're just trying to shoot as much as you can without any artistic agenda. When I'm doing street shots I'm not really looking for a particular shot as I am looking for a particular setting. I look for the right light, shadows or even back drop and then let the subject come into place. I do however employ a snapshot method at times and get lucky with the results. This is one of them. This was captured in Soho on a weekend when it's usually packed with shoppers of all kind.
What's she thinking, who and what is she thinking about? What is she drinking, is her weekend going well, is she thinking about today, tomorrow or yesterday. Will there be a celebration afterwards, dinner with friends or is it homework? Has their been heart break, does she know pain does she feel pain? Is this her best happy face or the face of content? So many questions so little answers, just more questions. These are the reasons I shoot and I will continue shooting. Happy Sunday to everyone

Climb the mountains and get their good tidings.
Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees.
The winds will blow their own freshness into you...
while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.

To see such clean-looking water in California for a change :)
Also, today in general was extremely refreshing. It was like we just woke up and started over, falling away all over again.
I was stunned by the world's beauty today. More so, I was stunned by the beauty I could so easily reach, capture, travel to.
Truly refreshing indeed :)
This is a part of the Vernal Falls in Yosemite National Park. The park is famous for its high concentration of waterfalls in a small area.
Yosemite National Park, California, USA.
The smell of the wet desert is like no other fragrance. It rained off and on most of the afternoon. I went outside between the showers to enjoy the flowers.
I would like to share a refreshing image with you for your lovely Sunday.
I would be so happy if the image in Black&Large could refresh you!
Have a wonderful Sunday!!

I have been missing such refreshing green color in my photo stream for a while. I think I was already at the far end of my zoom so could not get any more closer to the moth.
Sometimes I ask myself are we producing enough rice to feed the nation? It is well known fact that many agricultural fields are being turned either into Real Estate plots or into Aqua Culture (ponds) for the amount of profits they offer. It is the reason why the prices of rice are going up year over year. Once the land is used for Aqua Culture or Real Estate it looses its fertility and can never be converted to agricultural land. So sad it is...
On the other hand, companies like Monsanto are aggressively pushing for the genetically modified (GM) crops (of course for their own profits). Yes, the yield is more but what about the HEALTH? There are many scientists all over world who are against the GM crops for the BAD they can do to our health. It is revealed that these companies like Monsanto are supposed to test the affects of GM food on mice (like clinical trials) for 2 years (average life span), where as they are not even doing it for 8 months!! The scientists who voluntarily did their own research found the mice health getting affected severely. Well, the Govt is quite interested to help such companies for the very reason of kickbacks our leaders receive in turn.
If there is one thing, one single thing that has to be a fave of mine about SL it's the vast beyond vast selection of ink you can find literally everywhere! This gorgeous design is called Alina by Vezzo Ink, and while I bought the fat pack, I currently have the multicolor version on! I AM IN LOVE!!!!
The weather has been milder the last few days, so we opened the pond. Almost immediately birds were visiting for a bath and a drink. This Red Cardinal seemed to be really enjoying his shower.
