Field Of Flowers...

I couldn't post anything during last few (duh!) days because I had my mid term exams and project work and also now I'm working on a commercial website which is a bit hard when comparing to others. Anyway, Today I got a few minutes of break and thought I should post something here. I hope you may find it so much annoying or whaterver to visit my blog everyday which has the same content as 1 month back. Sorry about that, People Working Here!!!!

Happy Birthday Sweetheart!!!

Today is my gf's birth day and I post this flower for her. I know its not a rose but I hope she will like this one. And its been an year for our relationship and we went through a lot together. We also broke up once because of my stupidity. I have been a good lover since then. I have been responsible for my actions and I now never lie to her. I tell her everything I am doing, I am not keeping big secrets from her. She is the best thing that happened to me and I know she is the one for me. If we were in USA or somewhere I would purpose her now but in here, its out of the culture. Shit. I love her a lot and Someday I will marry her and I will celebrate her birthday like never before.

About this flower, I know nothing. Just saw, Just Clicked. I used Macro mode though. I love my Camera.

So Enjoy!!!...
Tomorrow I am going to post some ugly things...

Helicopter - Very Small one

This is a Dragonfly. Hope you all know that. If not go ahead, Zoom in and have a closer look. Its like a Helicopter. So we use that term also. So this one has a long tail thingy. Those days we used to get a string and tie it up to that tail and let this helicopter to grab little stones and fly. Because of the string it couldn't escape and eventually it's tail separated into 2 pieces (body, Tail) from where we tied up. Ya ya...I knw. But We were so small. :D

Any one who wishes to read more about this insect...(Read More)

While I was trying to capture this, I missed a beautiful brown colored butterfly. And I had to run after that butterfly but I couldn't capture. Shit..I wish I could fly...I dream more often I'm flying. May be its just a dream after all. :'(

Next week is closing for "Ugly Things". You all can start commenting. :D

Enjoy!!!

This week's Theme - Animals

A Herd of water buffaloes are having a good cold bath in a canal. Can you count how many are there? I know I can't. Anyway do you know what a buffalo is?  Its an animal...bla bla bla. here is the (source), go and read. (another *Link* - go down and find BUFFALO, first one is Bear.)

However, Traditionally, farmers used the conventional technique to run the paddy field. Water buffalo was commonly used to help to plough the muddy paddy field because of its nature habitat that adapted so much to the wetland condition. Also the female ones of these are used to get milk. Yeah..We do that here. Actually there is no big difference between Cow and Buffalo milk.But buffalo milk is also superior to cow milk in terms of important minerals such as calcium, Iron and Phosphorous.

Look...Its an Elephant!!!

So for all those who doesn't know who this big animal is...Its an Elephant. I have heard that some people from USA has never seen one. :-D Well, They are here in Sri Lanka. Wanna see? Come visit. U can go on an elephant ride too. (On its back..U knw...Like a horse)

So I guess I should tell about this more. Asian Elephant (Elephas maximus maximus) is one of the few remaining mega-herbivores (Herbivores are animals that are adapted to eat plants) in the world. The Sri Lanka elephant population about 2,500 - 3,000 Elephants and about 7% of world population. There is an Elephant Orphanage in Pinnawala and its a unique place in entire world where abandoned and disable Elephants get lot of care and protection. This place is one of the world's best Elephant breeding centers as well. (sources)

I have more pics and tell me if you want to see them, I can post them. Enjoy!

I added a Poll....U can vote for the best pic out of four I picked..... ;)

Water Drops...

I think my Creative Writing should be improved now because these days I am no in the proper mood for writing. Its my vacation period and its so boring and it eats me alive. shit.

I saw 2 water droplets hanging onto this thing (In don't know what its called), and I just took it while flasher is on. U can see that halo type of thing on the water drops. I really don't know what to write here. If someone can tell me it would be great. well, those flowers behind are Orchids. U can see those flowers down there...(my previous post)

Talinum paniculatum.....

Well....people say this is an excellent spinach substitute. anyway I don't really know. Well..Flower is pink and there is a spider. Spider is bit burly. Sorry about that. I just wanted to take the flower. ;)

So my bunny used to eat these leaves. And I don't know what those black stuff on this flower are.

Enjoy....Leave any comments if you have any...

Monster Flower...Version 2

As I promised (did I promise? I don't know) ...anyway This is another shot of the same flower I posted earlier. Look down there!
I just knew that I am going to need a better camera. I have a 6 MP camera. I need a 10M or 12M cam now. When I first launched my blog, not this one. That topic wasn't my thing. Now this is my thing.

Anyway people...Enjoy this, I have to watch Smallville Season Finale...

Please leave any comments below..thanks!

Monster Flower...

Hmm...I read about how to gain traffic to my blog. I know I have some interested people who visit my blog. I am really sorry I can't put a post here everyday. Mother nature is rude at that point ;). But I am hoping to post anything nice and catchy as soon as I caught them in my cam.

This is a small flower. Very little one. I used macro mode to get the close up and had to use the flash too. Sorry about that. Anyway I will try to get another one without flasher. Its raining here. We can't even go out. If u take a closer look, you can see the water drops on this flower.Did you see that? This looks like monster with the Monster Like mouth.

Well...enjoy. Leave your comments, If you are speechless, at least say Hi ;)

A Spider's Nest...

Once upon a time there was this boy named Romesh. He loves to grow pretty much anything that catches his eye. One day after he watered his plants collection, he saw this Spider's Nest filled with water. He grabbed his camera and took a picture while accidentally the flash was on. After he check on what he took, He saw this. One side is bright because of the flasher. Other side was green because the light went through a leaf and landed on spider silk. So he saw some natural beauty in this even though he knew this looks like crap. So he decided to post this remarkable picture of his on his blog. So now you are seeing it...... :)
What do you think about it?

Sunflower!!!

OK...its not really a sunflower. Don't blame me. I have no suitable topic for this shot. I'm having my final exams these days so spare me some time folks. I got more than topics to think about. :D
anyway this is also a pic from mobile phone camera. 3MP..just take a look there is some kinda bug on this flower stalk. its black ant. and this flower is broken. can you see that yellow anther? ( I really don't know what is the real name, sorry ).

One thing I gotta tell you is that many people have appreciated my style (photos, layout, this stupid description.....etc etc). They really motivates me to do more. I will keep this up to the best. Thanks again. I want more comments on these so I can improve my skills more. If U got nothing to say -- speechless :D -- its ok. ;) (does anyone know how to put emoticons here??????? )

The Colorful Garden...

Trust me this is NOT a modified shot. This place on Sri Lanka actually exists!!! Look at these colorful flowers. Aren't they beautiful? This is actually one place from my mate's home garden. His parents love to grow various kinda flowers. Its the angle that determines the uniqueness of the photo. I really don't have much to say. There is something wrong with my stupid internet connection.....wish i could go back in time and give dad some more money to buy an awesome connection. this sucks.... anyway ...Enjoy!!!
