Dood’s Photo of the Day

I was sitting at an empty bus stop to take some rest from the excessive walking around I indulged in, during the day, when suddenly something caught my attention. I turned back to see my shadow in the lush green background lit up by the bright shining sun. It seemed so unusual. Unusual because I was reminded of something. When I was a child, I used to see my shadow and do strange things while walking on the road. I used to make weird postures, run around and try to leave my shadow behind. A sudden renewal of those memories made some strange feelings run through my mind. So, I just took out my camera and decided to capture the moment.

While preparing for dinner, I kept the frozen green peas in warm water to make them return to their original texture. While I was frying the onions and cutting the capsicum, the peas were getting soft at the other corner of the room. Once the onions were ready, I returned to the peas to drain the water off and put them in the curry. As I came back to them, I saw this beautiful pattern of vivid green near-circles floating in the water. The next moment, I had the camera in my hand.

Beauty sometimes hides itself in small things and invites you to find it, through observant eyes. To a careless view it wont be even visible. But once discovered, it gives such a joy to your heart.
