It is so remarkable that whenever you are deprived of something, you yearn for it the most; precisely that happened to me as I saw beautiful blooms and butterflies, bees and birds, things I failed to appreciate with a working camera, but were beckoning when the damned camera won’t work.It was then that I decided that the time is ripe to reward myself with a brand new camera, a Sony cybershot H10. Armed with my new acquisition I set out to capture the dwindling charm of Spring in retreat. It is still a Rosy picture with spring deciding to stay a few more days before it is officially the start of summer season.

This little fruit is going to grow all the way into a sweet, luscious Mango and with my taste buds tingling in anticipation; I’ve a very delectable reason to look forward to summers.
