Goodbye 2010 n Hello 2011

As this year draws to an end, I would like to thank all family n friends, who touched my life with their unflinching love, care n support through the thick n thin and made this year '2010' more meaningful and truly memorable for me. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU...ALL.

The Hot, the Loud n the Proud Calendula

Today, has been a beautiful day here in Lucknow.... Cold, Cloudy n yes Rainy too, as its been raining intermittently since the morning. I can  hear the pit-tar, pat-tar even as I try to concentrate on writing a few lines for my blog EVERGREEN TREE this evening, after a looooong festive break. Thankfully, the weather did clear out for a while during the afternoon, so that I could step out to take a quick stroll around the Garden n click a picture or two to share as my entry for this Year end, Month end.....The Hot, the Loud n the Proud Meme.

Wordless Wednesday: A Century

Post # 100
PS:

It’s been almost two years since I started my Blog ‘Evergreen Tree’ here at Bloggers and come to think off how time flies….

Today, sitting in front of the computer screen with a blank word document staring, onto my face, I know not what words to add to my blogroll as POST # 100. After all, it is a Wordless Wednesday Post, though with an exception, as I want to take this opportunity to include a rather lengthy post script along with the photograph I captured just the other day with my Sony Cyber shot DSC-W35, while out in the garden.

Now, I am no professional, photographer and / or writer and not even vying to be one, but yes, I do enjoy going click, click, click…with my camera, ever so often and also penning my  thoughts, every once in a while. It just feels good to blog as n when…

It’s been great to be part of the BLOG WORLD, where one can share their work be it writing and / or photographs etc with one and all from across the world and even receive comments making the whole process much more interactive and interesting.

A piece of writing sans any readership is a wasted effort. What say???  It’s always good to hear from you, dear visitor. If you are stopping by for a Dekko, then, do take a moment to share your thoughts and leave a comment as well. Like I said, it feels good to exchange complimentary words of praise and appreciation for  ‘Nature n Nature in miniature’.

Last, but not the least, A Big Thank You to my followers and fellow blogger friends…To name a few....
