The shy duck

The Duck of Zorro ...

Doesn't this duck's red mask look just like the Mask of Zorro ....

As the flight lands

Landing ........

On the runway .. ..making way towards the hanger ......

Parked !!

Bare after winter ...

Helsinki Museum ....

Early morning breakfast ....

Captured this little birdie ... when it was having its breakfast :)

The flaming flower

I like the flame like colors of this beautiful flower ....

Look mama where am I .....

....says the bird as it sits a top a statue ....one of the thousands of statues you find everywhere in Europe ....

Sunlight in the night .....

The rays of the setting sun ...light up a tower in Helsinki .... 9.15 says the watch .. but hey its 9.15pm ....

Coming back after winter .....

 As winter leaves the town .....life begins again .....flowers bloom again .....

The Butterfly flower

I call this the butterfly flower. The central brown portion of the flower resembles a butterfly as it opens up its light wings to soar up high ......

The Golden Gate in all its splendor ....

Striking out Alone .......

The Rock .....

 

The Alcatraz island, also known as the ROCK. A prison for the worst kind of criminals it is said.

The cells are depressingly small, and one wonders how anyone could survive in that small a place.

Resting ...........

Drenched in Dew .....

Daring the Wind ...

Colors of Rainbow

Reflections ..

What's in there .. I must know ....

Perched at the Top .....

Star Fish

What is real ... what isnt ?

The first picture is captured in the SFO bay aquarium, on port 39. A must visit place for first time tourists.Bulk of this aquarium is actually built under the sea. It is a great experience to see fish swimming above you :)

The Fiery Flames ....

So many vivid colors ....

 

 

Flowers are beautiful ..

My very first attempt ...

A ship as it moved out of the Redwood City port ...captured through an office window.
