Color Splash Sunday: Flags

When I started playing around with different editing tools I realized it's so much fun editing! With color splash I couldn't wait to see the end result. I love the work of Amy at Artistically Amy and I am linking this post to her Color splash challenge.

My husband's love for sports has no perimeter. He enjoys T-20 Cricket match just as much as he loves watching the Grand Prix. That's HIM in the picture routing for Michael Schumacher and the Ferrari Team at the US Grand Prix at Indianapolis. This picture dates back to 2005, the year I got engaged to him! It was also the year in which an Indian Driver Narain Karthikeyen made his debut in F1! So that's the Indian flag painted on his face, to support and cheer his country and the country man! :)

Smiley Sunday :)

I found these pictures in my library and they brought back fun-filled memories to life! Mama Hen gave me a reason to post them here today... Smiiiile!, *Click!* :)

My sweet smiling sugar-pie giving her best shot!

And this cute cuddly-duddly family brings a smile on my face:)

(For the record and the sweet memory, these pictures were taken when Rida and I went to Dubai to visit Rida's cousins, Zara and Zidan in March. The second pic with the bear family was shot in one of the malls there. Rida enjoyed her trip a lot and so did I! We would love to be there again soon!)

You Capture-Sky

When I came across this photo challenge hosted by Beth I couldn't resist participating in it. Here are my shots! (I have only recently discovered the 'fun' and the 'veracity' of photography:)

This one is around noon. Clear, speckless, cloudless sky, with the summer heat beating on me as I dared to step out!

Glittery gold in the evening!

This picture surprised me as I thought with the moon and north star, I captured the darkest night too on the horizon!

Sweet-To(oth)-Day!

Like mother - like daughter. Yes I have heard this phrase, mostly as a compliment from my folks and near ones many times! Ice-cream, chocolate, cake are still my weaknesses. Rida, although not very fond of sweet dishes but sure likes to dip her nose into an Ice-cream cone or a mixed fruit pastry!

And in the end of the feast my cuppy-cake "wears" the yummiest look on her face!

Random (pics of) Rida

These pictures are two months old when Rida had turned almost a year old! She is turning out to be a very expressive girl and quite specific in her needs. If I serve her cookies she will ask for "Chee" (cheese), if that's what she wants! The past one year has gone by in reading her expressions and learning her language. Every child is unique and as a mother the sooner you know about your sweethearts various behaviour/demand/needs/patterns, the better it is to raise them! Right?
Happy Parenting! :)

Hello World!

Caught in action!

If there is a certain silence in the house, no yells and calls and whispers then be sure my naughty girl is upto some mischief. She can stand holding almost anything and everything, be it the bedstand or a closet knob. She will stand on her tip-toes or climb on a chair to reach to her target! Today she "cleaned" her own closet with....well, the wet wipes!

Working unaware that mommy is behind the lenses !!!!

Removed and Stacked one by one in a basket. Well my little darling has all the time in the world!

Hahaha! That's when I called out to her! I laughed bemused when she made this expression, expression that spoke a thousand words...did she say "sorry mum I didn't know you were there" or was it "Oooopsy I'm caught!" or possibly she is saying "Shhh please keep mum, mommy!"

...and here comes the offer, wrapped in a cute smile to divert me. Well thank you, I guess I will take this last one, wipe myself fresh, sit back and relax! There is always time for arranging things, but growing-up has its own sweet phase and I will let my angel live it to the fullest!

So that's the end of Wipes, pack number..... forget it! :)
