Masala chai for a rainy day

With 3 back to back storms , we are getting soaked here in Los Angeles. I  love this rainy weather. I love the changing patterns of the clouds and the perfect circles that the tiny raindrops make. Enjoy this weather with a perfect cup of hot Masala chai :)

From my backyard to yours

We had some crazy weather this last couple of weeks and some plants in my backyard are behaving all confused :) They thought it was Spring time and started blooming.

Morning Walk

I love to go for my morning walk. Especially when its foggy :)

From my Backyard

From my backyard to yours, a look at Mother Nature's different looks on different days.

Weekend with Roses

Weather has been great here in Los Angeles.

What else can be more relaxing than to sit on the swing, hum a song and just enjoy the roses with the beautiful blue sky in the background.

Sunset

Nature's beautiful color palette.




Sunset from my backyard.

Rainbow

What a beautiful way to start your day.
Today we almost had a double rainbow. Can you see a faint second one on the far right side?

Have you seen a full rainbow anytime ?
I have seen it only once till now. And it was amazingly beautiful.

Rain Clouds

I took this picture yesterday from my back yard. Wish I had a much better camera to capture this amazing dance of shadows on the mountain range.

Begonia

This is my pink Begonia. I have seen pictures of a yellow one but couldn't find it in my local nursery.

Gardenia

Another fragrant gift of nature -Gardenia.

Look at the size of this Duke jasmine flower !!
I am so thrilled that my duke jasmine plant has started flowering and also has sprouted some new leaves.
