When the photographer is lazy but the subjects present themselves on your front porch, do not hesitate to click 😛

Fight Me!!!
During a recent visit to Ano Neuvo state park here in California, I had the chance to observe elephant seals from close quarters. Males can get quite aggressive during the active breeding season where they challenge each other for a fight to establish the alpha status. Here you can see one of them roaring (for the lack of a better word to describe a sound similar to a motorbike starting up 🙂 ) to call a fight. An interesting thing to note is that males during the breeding season dont eat anything for about 3 months.. they stay on shore, sleep (and snore!) and fight.
Lava…
A breath taking view of San Francisco downtown from the twin peaks viewpoint. And thats another skyline any photographer would fall in love with 🙂 As for the title, the light streaks on the road look like lava flowing through, dont you think so? 🙂
The Red House…
… wonder how this house will look in winter 🙂
The Laughing Buddha
Budai(in Chinese) is often depicted as having the appearance of an amply proportioned bald man wearing a robe and wearing or otherwise carrying prayer beads. He carries his few possessions in a cloth sack, being poor but content.
His figure appears throughout Chinese culture as a representation of contentment. His image graces many temples, restaurants, amulets, and businesses. I am sure many Indian homes also possess it for the same reason 🙂
Amongst Westerners new to Buddhism, Budai is often confused with the historical Buddha, Siddhartha Gautama. However, the two are visually very distinct. Gautama is commonly depicted as being tall and slender in appearance (although since no images of him from his lifetime exist, this depiction of him is unverifiable and possibly idealized); Budai is short and overweight. (Buddha means “one who has achieved a state of perfect enlightenment” and there are several people who have been given the title.)#Source

Green beauty…
Get close and observe any leaf on a rainy day. Each time you will be amazed at the patterns and shimmer of these water drops.
Here’s a link to a rain drop covered Hibiscus flower we captured.
