A few years back, in the peak of summer, late in the month of April to be precise, I noticed a strange flower blooming in my little garden and was quite pleasantly surprised. We had not planted anything like that and couldn’t make out from where it came to be. However, it was most welcome and lovely. It looked like a big red ball on the top of a single, long green stalk....
I have heard a lot of good photographers and naturalists say that one doesn’t necessarily need to travel miles or to exotic locations to notice, observe, and appreciate ( if possible, photograph ) nature. I do concur with this line of thought. While I do love to travel to exotic locations, for sure :-) , it is very true that there is so much stuff happening right in our midst and around us, that, we surely could observe and appreciate nature, wherever we are, around our places of stay or work too....
