Flowerscapes- A tiny flower from backyard

When I open my door I get the sight of a garden full of tiny colorful flowers and a green lawn. Instead of going out in search of subjects I thought of clicking macro shots in my backyard itself. I tried many different angles and I liked this one the most. It is Himalayan Geranium, a perennial plant and is beautiful with blue petals, white centre and the deep dark veins! Also called as Lilac Cranesbill, grows in California too!

Colorful Skies- Volcano?

I was returning from work and I was stuck in a traffic jam. I was frustrated and then saw this explosion in the sky. It looked like a volcano eruption! But, definitely it wasn't :) It was really interesting. Luckily the traffic cleared faster than ever that day. I rushed to a place from where I could get a good shot. Not sure what causes such cloud formations!? Dramatic huh?
