Fun with flowers

It’s always a plea­sure to go to Lal­bagh dur­ing the flower shows, which are held in Jan and August every year in the city. This time around, despite noble inten­tions to go on the first day, I didn’t quite make it. So, on the last day (bet­ter late, than never!), I decided to make a quick dash along with Cyber­scor­pion. It also hap­pened to be Repub­lic Day. 

Spent a cou­ple of hours wan­der­ing around. It was a lovely morn­ing, with the crowds begin­ning to grow in num­bers as the morn­ing pro­gressed, for a last look at the flower show. 

In true Ban­ga­lore hol­i­day spirit, there were quite a few peo­ple who were out for their morn­ing walk, some alone and oth­ers along with their kids and extended fam­ily mem­bers. We also met Arun there who looked like he just jumped out of bed, which he admit­ted he did! 

I don’t really have equip­ment for ‘seri­ous’ flower pho­tog­ra­phy, but I still had heaps of fun try­ing to cap­ture their beauty…

   Con­grats Anitha, I live close to lal­bagh and enjoy the beau­ti­ful serene atmos­phere. But of late it is being spoiled with unco­op­er­a­tive pub­lic lit­ter­ing and throw­ing plas­tic every where. thanks for giv­ing us therse mem­o­rable photos,

   amaz­ingly gor­geous pic­tures Anita. Spent a good amount of the last half hour look­ing and re-looking at these.

   You have quite an eye for angles.
