Photo Challenge Part 3

With this post the Photography challenge comes to an end. (I hope I did justice to it!!) It at least pushed me to take out some time to click these pictures. I did feel pressured sometimes but I am happy I did manage to complete it as well as share it here. Thanks to each one of you who visit, like and even take the effort to write those generous comments. Believe me, it does turn my regular day into a special one :)

Photo Challenge Part 1

I am sure I have got wiped off the memories of the treasured few who follow my blog :(
Squeaky Corner - My corner to squeak, scream and share but 'silently' went completely silent for 5 months!! yes 5 months that's like half a year and around 155 days. (The number 5 makes me feel more worse, damn!!) OK. I am guilty as charged. Don't ask me the reason of disappearance, its the same obvious reason!
Lets talk about the big comeback.... ;-)

Well its called the 'Photo A DAY Challenge'. But firstly I am too late to take part in it and secondly I can't manage clicking and uploading a photo daily on a working day. To top it I have challenged myself to click the picture only from my SLR camera!! Basically just to get my hands off the phone and the addictive Instagram. Maybe another photo challenge just for phone/instagram pictures ;)

So the November photo challenge list is here on Fat mum slim. Well more than half month is already gone so instead of putting one picture each day I will start with putting first weeks photo now and the later next week...

Day 1: Something beginning with 'C'

 

Day 2: Colour



  Day 3: Breakfast

This is the expression I had when i read breakfast, because I did not have one! :-/

 Day 4: TV

A TV is nothing without a remote, just thought of giving him his fair share of credit ;)



Day 5: 5 o'clock

It starts getting dark at around 5:30 these days and clouds in Dubai is a rarity,
so capture it when you can!


 Day 6: A favorite thing

 Simply addicted to this, Samsung galaxy S3!


Day 7: Reflection

The light from the bedroom

Small is Big

Robert Brault said "Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things." But the problem is I took this advice too literally!

Not that I don't value what this sentence is supposed to mean in fact if you know me, I do that more than anything else, but here we are talking about tiny little things literally. Small toys, cars, animated movie characters, puppies, birds. I even had a tiny turtle as pet, the size of my palm, Yes I said I had. Not anymore! We better not get there. Little things fascinate me. It wont be surprising if you see me talking to a toy character, I know it shounds really silly but I guess I have not grown up yet!! And did i mention toy cars, Raghu once bought a remote controlled toy car for his nephew and the poor boy just had to play assistant to Raghu which meant stopping the car from banging in the wall, bringing it back from under the table/sofa and so on....he never got a chance to play with it. And why do you think I mention about Raghu here, because why should I alone sound silly, Its not just me who is a kid in the house ;)

Anyways, remember I mentioned about bringing Mr.Clumpsy home in one of my Dec post. So why not a photo shoot for him!

Ever so animated Mr.Clumpsy from the movie Smurfs!


We picked up  this car in India, it was supposed to sit on our car (the real car) dashboard, but now as Mr.Clumpsy owns it, we dare not touch it..


Ready to take on the world..


And Mr.Clumpsy obviously prefers the car over the scooter, after all there are less chances of falling down a car than a scooter. Don't forget he is clumsy and accident prone..


My in-laws thought there was only 1 kid in the family - my nephew. But their thoughts have changed after they saw these. :)
