Flowers, everyone's favorite subject. Used in every occasion. It is so amazing that color, fragrance, shape and beauty comes bundled in one package. Here are some from my collection for you to enjoy...

Oh Ari
ReplyDeleteHow very, very beautiful!
And the quotes are so wonderful!
You made my day so much better with all this beauty!
Thank you so much!
You are so awesome!

what a vivid shade of orange .. i love the pictures .. the colors look soo vibrant .. the petals look soo delicate and yet are soo strong and beauteous.
ReplyDeleteAri: I just love that orange, purple, blue and red. Amazing that all these nice colors are together in here.
ReplyDeleteBack home I had a nice garden and I always had a feeling of talking to my plants. I know its crazy but when you water, plant and care them, it belongs to you just like you are to someone right.
Hey, just turn on the comment moderation ok. Few months I received a nasty piece of comment and then I had to turn it on.
Good job ari!!!!
Woah, great close-ups :)
ReplyDeleteAri
ReplyDeleteI just had to come back and take another peek at this post!
These colors are just so vibrant and beautiful!
Actually breathtaking!
You do take the most beautiful pics.
well, Take care!

Take care,
Robyn

Thanks for visiting my blog and for the kind comments...

ReplyDeleteKeshi.
What a stunning follection you have here, and beautiful macro work!
ReplyDeleteI particularly like the composition in the first shot that draws the eye to the tips of the flower and the water droplets.
Ari, I am finally back! Adored all the images you took at the Monterey Bay Aquarium and enjoyed seeing part of the progress of the pigeons.
ReplyDeleteEspecially love the purple flower colors here! Lovely shots and quotes!
Do you know the name of the first flower? I remember carrying home one like this while out on a bike ride once.
Here is the address for my new site: http://www.greenteaobsession.com/
And who would leave a mean comment on your site? Anyway I never saw it nor what it said, but I think you handled everything well in writing those sentences above.
Hey Margie :) I am glad these pictures made you happy. It cant get any better. You too are awesome. I love your poetry to bits. I think your poetry will add grace to my pictures. Like i mentioned before, i may have to steal poems from your blog (ofcourse with your permission) and use it with my pics :)
ReplyDeleteTake care
-ari
Thank you Nabeel. I love vivid colors.
ReplyDeleteThank you priya. Yeah, i know that feeling of belonging with your plants.
ReplyDeleteIt is not about comment moderation, it is about attitude. If i dont like something, i move on. I dont make mean comments on anyone;s blogs.
Thanks for stopping by, Reflex.
ReplyDeleteThanks again Margie :)
ReplyDeleteHi Robyn,
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by again and nice to see you after a while. I have a Canon EOS 30D and a Canon 28-135mm F3.5-5.6 IS USM lens. It is a good walk-around lens, not too much on the wide angle end nor the telephoto end. It is not the top class lens like the Canon L series which i am eagerly waiting to buy, but those glasses cost over $1500 and i am thinking and re-thinking if i need them. I'm glad you liked the pictures. Thank you for your comments and hope to see you again.
Take care
-ari
thanks starry. I'm glad you liked them. Aren;t they pretty?
ReplyDeletethanks G, you always have nice things to say.
ReplyDeleteHi Ash,
ReplyDeleteApologies for the goof up. This time, i will check.
Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you again.
-ari
Hey keshi... thank you. Thanks for stopping by. I wonder how you do it. You have so many visitors on your blog, you reply to all their comments, and find time to comment on their blogs. You must be managing your time very well. I sometimtes get intimidated by the amount of time i spend commenting and replying to comments.
ReplyDeleteCorinne, Welcome to my blog. Thanks for the nice words. You have nice pictures on your blog too. I agree with your observation regarding the water droplets.
ReplyDeleteTake care and see you around
-ari
Hi Patty,
ReplyDeletegood to see you back. I love your new website. Very creative and colorful. I left a comment on your site.
Thank you for all the nice words. I have no idea as to what the name of that flower is. I will see if i can find out.
Hope to see you around
Take care
-ari
tnxx Ari :) I come really early to work...finish up alot of work before middday...and then I have loads of time. Liberties of working in the IT field.
ReplyDeleteKeshi.
Oh what a treat Aamir, Just beautiful. You'll be tired of giving numbers to floral fantasy.
ReplyDeleteIts was a relief to see the curtains on the pigeon story. Now I am obsessed with making templates
Been spending my time on it. Without any knowledge.
Ari,
ReplyDeleteIf you ever want to use any of my poems here, just go ahead!
You are just the most nice person!
I really mean that!
You are always so supportive of so many others on their blogs.
If only there were more people like you in the world... it would be a pretty good place!!!
Thanks for always giving praise
on my poetry!
I do so appreciate your kind words!
YOU ARE GREAT Ari!
Take care!
Huggggz!
-Margie:)
i dont see the anonymous comment :( wanted to read what he said.
ReplyDeleteAri
ReplyDeleteThese are just awesome!! Eeeeessshhhhh!! And I am so angry at myself that I dont have much of a clue abt photography. I guess though, that apart from the technical know-how, one needs to have an 'eye for things' to make those pics look as beautiful, as u make them!!
:)
And the way u have interlaced those pics with some real motivational lines is quite inspiring. Way to go, Ari!!
ReplyDelete:)
way to go fellow...
ReplyDeleteyou do know where to look and what to shoot and post the best ones ...
it has always been a pleasure stepping in here to see the pics ..
missing the pigeons ....
i love to see them sleep ....nodding their heads while they do so ....
cya
Ash
Hey fab photos
ReplyDeleteVery impressive...!!
Ur camera seems to be talking for u!
Awesome Ari4u! the contrast in colors, the greens and the purples are sooooo pretty! loved the quotes to that went with each photo! wow! enjoyed the Pigeons...i was noticing these Pigeons (i think they were pigeons!)up high on a wire this evening with my husband and i pointed out how all of them were facing the same direction on the line...they were chatting away and talking about all the activity going on down where we are. lol well...so it seemed :)
ReplyDeleteBreathtakingly beautiful. These are very lovely photos and the colors are very brilliant. Beautiful quote too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your prayers and sympathy and thanks too for your happy greetings. I'll be back by Wednesday for the Wordless Wednesday.
My sister-in-law was finally put to rest. Cremation took place yesterday. It was a very painful moment for all of us as she was loved by the family. However, when one loves someone, she/he must also learn how to let go. As of now, my head seems to be floating on air. I can't seem to find my brains anywhere yet.
Awwww they r so beautiful! Amazing colors n awesome photography. This is a quote about flowers which I like very much and i had used in one of my posts about flowers.
ReplyDeleteSilently a flower blooms,
In silence it falls away;
Yet here now, at this moment, at this place,
The world of the flower,
the whole of the world is blooming.
This is the talk of the flower,
the truth of the blossom:
The glory of eternal life is fully shining here.

ReplyDeleteBTW for that nasty anonymous commentor &***%%5=%%%£££"""@@@~###****!!!**^^^^^..that should serve that person right
Its so ethereal.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful hues & awesome photography.
I loved ur pigeon story & I love flowers :)
As for anonymous "Ignorance" is the best lesson to teach.
Stay Beautiful..!!
Ops forgot to mention about quotes...Gr8 ...!!
ReplyDeleteKeep blogging...!!
Keshi,
ReplyDeleteYou are lucky that the IT field down under is relaxed, unlike the US, where we dance like we are on a hot tin roof, always pushed to the edge and maxed out. Well, i love working under pressure, but sometimes it is hard to handle everything at the same time. If you dont hear from me, it means im buried nose deep in work :)
Take care
-ari
Hi Rauf, thank you for the nice comments. Sorry the pigeon story was boring for you. I like your template layout. More jazzy and colorful. You are doing good!
ReplyDeleteMargie, that was SO SWEET of you to say all that. Thanks, it made my day :)
ReplyDeleteYou write the best poetry out here and i mean it. Dont let anyone else tell you otherwise. Thanks for letting me steal some from your blog :)
Hugsss to you too..
-ari
Hi Nabeel, If you are still interested, you will find the comment on Week 4 of the pigeon story. I am over it now...
ReplyDelete-ari
Hi Velu...You sing good, i heard your song on your blog!
ReplyDelete"Eeeeessshhhhh"... havent i heard that expression before?? ;) Photogragraphy is not so hard. With the advent of digital cameras, it has become very easy for everyone to take the most breathtaking pictures. You should try it, it is not harder than rocket science :) Im sure you will like it.
For me, the camera is my third eye. What i see with the two i have, i let the camera freeze it for me. I enjoy the world, one picture at a time.
Take care
-ari
Hey Ash, thanks for your comments. The pigeons still hang around, but this time near my bedroom window. They keep an eye on me as if they were my guards. :D Take care
ReplyDelete-ari
Thank you anand. I tried reading the story on your blog, it looks like a heavily blended story with many threads. Nice attempt :) I will read it again later
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments.
Thank you Kathy. You always encounter birds on a wire :D lol. That was funny. They were probably profiling you and your house. Who knows, they could be sharing your house in the future. You better watch out for them. They are good from a distance... :)
ReplyDeleteAnd Kathy, i saw your comment to me on Nabeel's blog about Soy milk. That doesnt work for me either. I hope you know that Soy milk has also released a Lactose Free version.
ReplyDeleteI prefer Lactaid. Works very well with me.
Hello Friday's Child, Thanks for stopping by and for the nice comments.
ReplyDeleteIt is painful to lose a loved one and it creates a void which can never be filled. Like i wrote on your blog, you are in my prayers. Take care and be strong.
-ari
Hi Suji,
ReplyDeleteI love the quote you wrote. Thank you for your comments.
Take care
-ari
Hi Radhika, Thank you :) Those flowers were really pretty and i couldnt resist.
ReplyDeletehahaha... i hope Mr. Anonymous gets your message :)
Hey Sugarlips. Thanks for your comments. Yeah, ignorance is the best option. Will do that :) So Mr. Mean Anonymous, you are ignored from now on... lol
ReplyDeleteforget about the anonymous comment man .. do what sugarlips suggested .. she's right ..
ReplyDeletenew post please :)
Flowers indeed are the breath and essence of god indeed...lovely post...
ReplyDeletena it's not relaxed..just that when projects r finishing up, we get alot of free times. And Im quite good at finishing my work way too early :)
