Rainy Day

2010-07-30T07:50:00.000-07:00

Beautiful day for a rainy day walk in Islamabad. Got completely soaked but had a great time. The rain poured all day. Monsoon rains at end of July.

Shells - Patterns and Textures

2010-07-14T03:12:00.000-07:00

Sea Shells come in such an amazing variety of colors, textures, patterns and shapes. Each one is a work of art and each view is different.

Monsoon Sunset

2010-07-09T20:04:00.000-07:00

The monsoon rains arrived this week in Karachi and although so far there hasn't been a lot of rain the sunset clouds were spectacular with golds and spots of pinks and green.

Desert Plants

2010-07-03T22:44:00.000-07:00

Hardy desert plants survive in the most unlikely environment of sand and heat. The plants tend to be prickly and hold whatever moisture they can gather. These photos are from Hingol National Park in Pakistan.

Lilies - France

Mouans-Sartoux is a small town 30 minutes inland from Cannes, France. On the grounds of the old chateaux is a lily pond where the early morning sun plus a rain shower brought out some lovely colors and

Golden Shower

June in Islamabad - the Golden Shower trees dot the area and bring a bright spot of color with their cascades of yellow blossoms.

Trees and Shapes

2010-06-16T13:23:00.000-07:00

Trees are fascinating in their infinite variety of shapes, colors, patterns and lines.

Blue mountains of Provence

2010-06-11T09:45:00.000-07:00

I took a very early morning walk up and up and up a winding mountain road above Mouans Sartoux, Provence, France. The view from the top was spectacular with soft blue hills fading off into the distance. This is about 30 minutes north of Cannes.

Geneva Spring Flowers

2010-06-04T05:54:00.000-07:00

On a recent trip to Geneva really enjoyed the spring flowers in the garden of a friend. The colors in the early morning light were vibrant.

Golden Ceiling Mosaic - Istanbul

2010-05-29T01:29:00.000-07:00

Istanbul is a treasure trove of mosques, bazaars, ancient and modern sights and sounds. This tiny pavilion is a jewel of golden mosaic in an ablutions fountain near the Blue Mosque.

Gaddani Shapes and Colors

2010-05-16T21:23:00.000-07:00

The colors, shapes, patterns and play of light and color are wonderful at Gaddani beach. From the tall cliffs to the tiniest details in the tide pools there is much to see and explore.

Feathers

2010-05-13T05:46:00.000-07:00

Feathers are really amazing when you look at them closely. the patterns on an individual feather, the way the vanes fit together so closely with the barbs - and just think how these light weight but strong feathers enable a bird to fly - an amazement in itself.

Fern with spores

2010-05-12T07:39:00.000-07:00

This backyard garden fern developed large orange spots - only on one of the fern fronds. They orange spores are large enough to cast a shadow in the early morning sun. In Karachi Garden. If anyone knows the name of this fern let me know.

Orange County CA Colors

2010-05-08T05:45:00.000-07:00

Orange County California has many lovely spots that are off the beaten track. Although the area is very dry, occasional rain showers do bring out the colors.

Sunrise

2010-05-04T11:00:00.000-07:00

I love sunrise. Its cool, quiet and is never the same from one day to another. There could be a misty look to the surroundings. spectacular clouds and rays, or the sun might come blasting up into a hot day and a clear sky. These sunrise pictures are all taken in Karachi.

Yellow Flowers

2010-04-30T03:53:00.000-07:00

These lovely little yellow flowers appeared on a climber on the garden wall. The plant spread over quite an area with the tendrils grasping on to the fence. Then the fruit appeared - bitter gourd "kerela".

Birds

Clouds

2010-04-25T04:40:00.000-07:00

Karachi often has clear skies but with the sea breeze clouds can appear suddenly and we get great sunrise and sunsets on occasion. These shots are between January and April 2010. See more photos on my Picassa Gallery at http://picasaweb.google.com/ddavies234/Clouds#
