Facebook notifications, Youtube alerts, Whassap notifications, all steal our time. We are in a state of continuous engagement and have no time for stuff that make less noise. Even on vacations, we mostly stick to the most publicized landmarks, get a selfie and get out. But sometimes interesting pictures happen where no one's looking :)
In my small hike around the much publicized Balanced Rock in Garden Of Gods, Colorado, I found these cute small trees. As they grow on the beautiful pink rocks and scarce mud to suck nutrients from, the root stretch out to maximize their opportunity for getting food.
I held the camera very close to the ground with a wide angle lens to make sure it was catching the evening sky with clouds that was lit by the setting Sun. It was difficult to see through the viewfinder and so I had connected my SLR to my cell phone to view live for composing.

Gold Rush

I walked around shooting in different places and people in the beach, finally trying to shoot this really low angle shot, hoping that the next wave would not drench my camera. The morning turned out to be a good bounce back.

Lemonade

It is frustrating when you spend a lot of time and energy to plan a trip to Alaska, and the weather plays foul when you finally reach there. But, "You might not like this weather, but the wild life loves it. The chances of sea life sightings are better when it is cold," said the cruise captain, much to our relief. Still, we worried that the visibility would be low, and the fjords more than few hundred feet away may not be sighted at all. Interestingly, the weather added to the mysterious play of the mist with the fjords, creating a surreal experience.
When the weather threw lemons at us, the fjords made the lemonade :)
