Have you seen this in Chattahoochee before?
Rode the bike to river Chattahoochee and while sitting on the banks, noticed something interesting … our side of the water was muddy and the other side was clear. The dividing line was pretty much in the middle although, in this picture it does not look that way (because I am too close to this side).
Interesting phenomenon!
Almost full moon
Reflections on going around the sun one more time
I am blinded by my eyes wide open
I had opened the garage door and was immediately greeted by brisk rains falling outside. My first reaction was that of an adult: “Messy weather”, I muttered to myself. The immediate next one was that of a child: “Rains!”, I cried out in joy.
During our childhood days, rains were something we would look forward to. Of course, it was not cold like this in India. So, playing soccer in the rains, making paper boats and letting them float down in small rivulets post rainfall and then of course getting berated by parents for staying out in the rain “Thanda legey jaabey” – were all integral part of growing up.
Today, I took a few minutes to stand inside the garage and take in the rains. In those mindful moments, something interesting outside my neighbor’s house caught my attention. It has been there all these years. I just did not have the eyes to see it. Heida, our neighbor, is a world traveller and collects all sorts of stuff from all over the world – especially Asia.
I bet she got this from Asia somewhere too. Note how beautifully the rain water from the roof is jumping from one bowl to the next almost making it look like a long cascade!
Small moments of beauty… only if I cried to stop and open my eyes.
Listening to another really old Hindi movie songs
Cloudy day by the river
Apparently, the bar has been raised!
She decided she did not like the new bar we had built about three years back. So, now we have a even newer one. The good news is now I have a fully built in coffee making and tea making set up!! Now I can drink wine to go to sleep and drink coffee to wake up from the same spot!!
That said, it does look like she and Adnan have done a great job with this.
