Sunday Stills : Wind

Hey Everyone! I hope y’all are doing wonderful!

Welcome to Terri’s Photo Challenge : Sunday Stills. Yet another day, another exciting prompt and a “perfect” WPC substitution!

This week’s theme is “WIND” and even though I am an avid photographer, I somehow couldn’t find anything worthwhile in my “vault of pictures”, until I stumbled across some “windy” photos of “Lung ta” aka the Tibetan Prayer Flags from my trip to Bir Billing.
Traditionally, these prayer flags are used to promote peace, compassion, strength, and wisdom and do not carry prayers to Gods, which is a common misconception. It is believed, that by hanging these flags in high places, the “Lung ta” – under the effect of “wind”, carries the blessings and mantras depicted on the flags to all beings, far and wide –  spreading good will, benevolence and compassion into all-pervading space. *ah! serenity*

Conventionally, prayer flags come in sets of five – one in each of five colors. The five colors are arranged from left to right in a specific order – blue, white, red, green, and yellow.

Sunday Stills : Summer

Hey Everyone! I hope y’all are doing wonderful. HAPPY FRIYAY!

Welcome to Terri’s Photo Challenge : Sunday Stills. Yet another day and another exciting prompt. Thank God for this, I miss WPC a little less!

This week’s theme is “SUMMER” and to be honest, I really ain’t that big a fan of the scorching sun and high temperatures, especially since the weather has been super treacherous where I live! *sighs*
For me a “perfect” summer is all about having a wonderful day at the beach – with pristine shores, revitalizing cool waters and gorgeous sunsets! *ah, beach-life* Presenting to you all some “summery” photos of me at my favorite place this SUMMER!

Sunday Stills : Tourist

Hey Everyone! I hope y’all are doing wonderful!

Welcome to Terri’s Photo Challenge : Sunday Stills. Yet another day and another exciting prompt. Thank God for this, I miss WPC a little less!

This week’s theme is “TOURIST” and in all honesty, I have been guilty of being a “perfect” tourist all my life! Yes, I have been one of the exasperating ones, who’ll click pictures wherever and whenever – not wanting to miss a “photogenic” opportunity! (Sadly, this involves my Huz too, who doesn’t have much of a choice left!) *hides face* Presenting to you all some “photographic memories” of US being “touristy” from our trip to Chicago. Also, please know that this post will be an overload of pictures – you now know why!

THE GENTLEMEN STATUES IN CHICAGO – a series of installed statues created by renowned Taiwanese sculptor Ju Ming and purchased by Great Eagle Holdings, the parent company of Langham Hospitality Group. The original artwork, prominently displayed as a permanent fixture on the AMA Plaza, is part of Ju’s “Living World Series,” featuring eleven bronze plated figures draped in trench jackets and holding umbrellas.

Sunday Stills : Twin

Hey Everyone! I hope y’all are doing wonderful!

Welcome to Terri’s Photo Challenge : Sunday Stills. Yet another day and another exciting prompt!

This week’s theme is “TWIN” and I am shamelessly almost a week late in posting this. (Well, almost!) To begin with, I was a little doubtful about likableness of “twin” pictures on me un-till I remembered of my visit to the Memphis Zoo a while back. Voila!!! Presenting to y’all some “twin” pictures from my “photographic” vault, of our “furred and feathered” friends basking in the glory of  sun.

Sun bathing!

My Weekend Be Like This!

Hey Everyone! I hope y’all are doing wonderful!

I was nominated for this super fun “My Day In Pictures” Tag by Ray from RAYNOTBRADBURY and honestly, nothing has been ever so exciting!

Getting straight to the fun, here’s how my Saturday looked like –

Sunday Stills : Future

Hey Everyone! I hope y’all are doing wonderful!

Welcome to Terri’s Photo Challenge : Sunday Stills. Yet another day and another exciting prompt!

This week’s theme is “FUTURE” and undeniably, I couldn’t think of anything else other than our “younger generation” to fit into the futuristic profiling! Randomly clicked at one of my outings by the riverside, this photo instantly provoked a thousand thoughts in my mind – of future and forthcoming, of destiny and fate, of dreams and aspirations.

Meet Miss Hazel – my favorite furry friend! So called BOXER by breed but a complete goof ball, furred DIVA in reality! There are days when she likes to dress up and go for her walks for the handsome hunks she might meet on her way. It’s tough being a “super star” I tell ya! 😉

Weekly Photo Challenge : All-Time Favorites

This week, sadly, we say goodbye to the Weekly Photo Challenge by WordPress! (Sad but true!) From December 2nd, 2017 till today – some wonderful memories, a handful of fabulous photos and a chance of meeting umpteen “talented” bloggers from around the world – this ride has been more than fun! Presenting to you all, some of my “ALL-TIME FAVORITES” from the WPC Challenge!

“I thought I was stronger than a word, but I just discovered that having to say goodbye to you is by far the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do.” 
― Colleen Hoover

iScriblr_wpc
My first ever post for WPC! (Dated – Dec 2nd, 2017 ) Clicked at the Mississippi River Park, Memphis – this photo speaks a thousand words. It is fascinating to notice the colors, patterns and the characteristic blueprints of Mother Nature. The dramatization of the skies, calmness of the Mississippi river and the vastness of the magnificent world that we live in, makes us so microscopic and meager. Undoubtedly, “nature therapy” is the best way to unwind and unravel the mysteries of trials and tribulations. When the nature “talks” and you “listen” – there is calmness, harmony and contentment. Hail Earth Mother! Hail Gaia!
