साप !! साप !!!

आज कार्यालयातुन येताना, आमच्या घरा जवळ रस्त्यावर मला एक साप दिसला, छोटा साच होता. चोकलेटी रंगाचा.

पटकन घरी येऊन कॅमेरा घेऊन चार - पाच फोटो काढले !!! मी आज पहिला अमेरिकन सापाचा फोटो काढला. आणि आत्ता पर्यंत दोन अमेरिकन साप मी पाहिले आहेत (रस्त्यावर). पहीला नियागरा फॉल्स पाशी गेल्या वर्षी आणि आज आटलांटा मधे.

इथ फोटो लावत आहे. हा साप बिनविषारी असुन साधारण 1 फूटा पर्यंत वाढतो. याच खाद्य .. बेडूक, सरडे वगैरे छोटे प्राणी.
इथ नेहमी अढळणारा हा एक छोटा साप.

On the move again...

1.00 PM EST

Time to head back to Atlanta !! We are flying on Delta flight to Atlanta at 5:30 EST. Priya has done all the work to pack all the stuff and keep it under 50 lbs, god I hate it and I am going to avoid travelling with family for all of 2007... I hope to manage that, traveling alone.

I hope Priya would be comfortable driving on her own in no time and then she would not be dependent on me for going around Atlanta.

We stayed in Residence Inn, Marriott at 107 Andersen Rd, Cheektowaga, NY 14225. Its a good hotel they have a nice indoor pool with a spa and every thing is close by. There is a huge mall Walden Galleria just round the corner.

What I like about buffalo....

Very nice people ... they did bear me for a month now !!

Traffic .. there is none.

Architecure .. I wanted to take pictures of the City Hall its a very nice building but the weather god was not in favour it the sky has been just gray for most of the stay and when sun finally came out I ran out of time.

FM 94.5 Classical Music Radio.... I used to tune in to this all the time its nice to listen to the western classical music.

Things that I did not like .....
Weather .. its just cold and unpredictable.

Things that I wanted to do ....

Walk on main street with my camera and take pictures.

Corning Museum of Glass

We went to the Corning Museum of Glass on April 22, 2007. Their website : http://www.cmog.org/ Its a nice place to visit ... if you do not have 3 year old kid !!!



The glass work is awesome, however our son Dhruv was not happy at all. He wanted to touch and hold every thing, it was tough to keep him away from the glass !!!



We started from Buffalo at 10.00 am, and reached at arround 1.00 pm we stopped three times I guess .. anyways it was fun. I was a beautiful day sun was out and it was warm !!! We have been sun starved for a long time !!



We went to an Indian Restaurant for a lunch buffet "Thali of India" address: 28 East Market Street Corning, NY 14830 I would recommend this to anyone who is going to Corning. The indian food is nice, and it is not expensive I think we had our lunch under $20.



The museum is very nice and it is photographers paradise !!! I would recommend a monopod. I missed out on this one as I was busy looking after.. Dhruv

Gulls at Niagara Falls, NY

We went to Niagara falls, on April 15, 2007. It was freezing ... in April !!! I saw a flock of gulls fishing on the rapids of river Niagara.

I had my Rebel XT and EF 70~200 4L lense. Sun was behind the clouds not ideal situation ... I started taking pictures.

It was fun watching them .. I hope you enjoy them :)























थंडी खूप होती, माझे हात गारठले होते !! थोड़े चांगले फोटो काढ़ता आले :)
सगळे फोटो काही ईथ लावता येणार नाहीत जमलतर नक्की लाविन ।
