How focussed!

2005-07-07T10:57:00.001-07:00

Do I have to fill the whole bucket with the blueberries?

2005-07-07T10:57:00.000-07:00

Utsav blowing the petals of the flower that Dadaji introduced him to. Damn, how I wish I could remember its name.

2005-07-07T10:55:00.001-07:00

One of those rare pics when Utsi doesnt make his usual faces :p

2005-07-07T10:55:00.000-07:00

Thats Utsav again - capturing Mom and Dad as they pick blueberries.

2005-07-07T10:49:00.000-07:00

That is a little cute girl we met up at the blueberry farm. Photo - courtsey, Utsav.

2005-07-07T10:48:00.000-07:00

Do you guys realize what it is to pick blueberries in the sun?

2005-07-07T10:47:00.001-07:00

This pic is special. What makes it special is that Utsav shot it. Isnt he brilliant. Wait till you see some more of his pics.

2005-07-07T10:47:00.000-07:00

Hemang kaka's Superman! Utsav was so excited to receive this dress which his Hemang kaka has sent. Ever since he came to know that Hemang kaka had bought a Superman dress for him, he was simply day-dreaming. He used to keep talking to me about it one way or the another. Finally, the day has come! Hemang kaka, Maa, Mom, we love you all very very very much!!!

Woodland Park Zoo, Seattle

2004-08-12T17:24:00.000-07:00

As we begin our journey through the Woodland Park Zoo, Utsav starts to feel at home monkeying around!

2004-08-12T17:23:00.000-07:00

Trying my hands on photography (courtsey: a great camera)

2004-08-12T17:21:00.000-07:00

Dad at a school in the model African village. After all, what better place could I find for a professor to be in.

2004-08-12T17:17:00.000-07:00

Dad watching the Zebras from an opening in a model African school in the Woodlank park zoo.

2004-08-12T17:16:00.000-07:00

The Woodland Park Zoo has a section portraying African life style. On display is a typical school, a house (more of a hut) and a well. The floor is built with mud or something similar, which reminded me of rural areas which still exist back home in India. And this well, too. We had to have this picture - an irony.

2004-08-12T17:13:00.000-07:00

Now, now! Dont start getting ideas. It just makes me feel better when i am besides other "healthy" looking creatures.

2004-08-12T17:12:00.000-07:00

The King on the prowl!

Simply beautiful.

2004-08-12T17:10:00.000-07:00

The Woodland Park Zoo boasts of thick vegetation and beautiful varieties of flowers and trees to make the zoo residents feel at home.

Utsav.

2004-08-12T17:04:00.000-07:00

Gauri adding one more lovely smile to my memorabilia. And I, have added that stroller. In the future, with all due respect to our stroller-cum-carrying cart, I would learn to do without it.

2004-08-12T16:57:00.000-07:00

If you see what I see, there can only be one real one in any such picture. May it always be mine!

2004-08-12T16:55:00.000-07:00

A snow leapord on the prowl at the Zoo. However, please dont start giving kudos to my valour, if you think I had been that close to the cat, without the tough glass partition that is not visible in the picture.

2004-08-12T16:52:00.000-07:00

Dad, posing in front of some beautiful trees. The tree in the background with the leaves in maroon was particularly striking. I could have done better with the picture, but all of us were dead tired after about 3 hours of walking through the Zoo. And we had only covered half of it. The other thing that this pic was aimed to capture was Dad's arsenal!

2004-08-12T11:24:00.000-07:00

Yep! Thats me. I am uploading this picture so that I can reference it in my blogger profile.

2004-08-10T11:41:00.000-07:00
