Zooming In

Living in the city is synonymous to being busy and having a hurried and harried life.

The sound of vehicles, the heat, the smog and the lack of trees around make people just accept urban living as devoid of nature’s sights and sounds OR they might crave for it’s beauty, peace and quiet.

The sky which in itself is like a canvas where wonderful colors can be seen can sometimes be dull.

Instead of seeing sunrise and sunset colors as well as cloud formations which people often times do not appreciate, we sometimes see airplanes, huge ones, flying above our heads. Not that its bad to see these, no not at all.

So I decided to try zooming in on some interesting objects that I can see around me for comparison.

An airplane flying overhead. One of the common things being noticed in the sky because of the noise it makes or the lights it flashes at night.

People rarely stop to smell the roses, so to speak. We are fortunate enough to be surrounded by trees and therefore we often hear the sounds of birds, playing happily among the branches, twittering and chirping.

it is quite difficult to take photos of birds because they do not stay in one place for long and I am just glad I was able to capture this photo (plus other bird photos) when I spent some time “bird watching” on the third floor of hubby’s family home.

Which photo do you prefer?
