Indian Snapshots 3

After a whole week of being sick with a really bad stomach flu (like REALLY bad) I finally feel like a human being again.

Last week I didn’t even have enough energy to plug in my hard drive and wade through my India photos. If you know me you’ll understand that means that I was practically on my death bed (have I ever mentioned I tend to exaggerate a teeny tiny bit at times?).

But I’m feeling good today and managed to put together the next set of my favourite images from our recent trip to India. Sometimes I can almost taste and smell the memories of that trip just by looking at the photos. Love that so much.

Tasseled pillows in the market place. I resisted. And I regret it so much.

Miniature eggplants and the sweetest red carrots you’ll ever eat.

Basket of flower garlands ready for the temple.

This woman had so much character. My kids were terrified of her though.

We were so fortunate to have a guided private tour of this old palace in Deeg. The ornamental tiger cage (for live pet tiger) was a favourite feature. The kids spent hours running throughout the grounds, jumping over fountains, avoiding gangs of monkeys and having the time of their lives with their friends. A favourite day on our trip in India.

While visiting the fort in Jodphur we came across this sweet little parakeet. He was the most curious little guy who seemed to love getting his photo taken. If you’re interested I have about 659 other photos of him…

This is his shy pose. 2014indiajodhpur12 I almost can’t look at this photo because of the sadness of not being able to get a hot syrupy bowl of Gulab Jamun is too much to bear. There is nothing like it on earth.

Temple visiting.

Indian Snapshots 2

22 Jan

I’ve been slowly making my way through more of the thousands of photos from our India trip. Sorting, editing, deleting and putting them in all sorts of absurd and confusing folders on my laptop. Unfortunately this will drive my husband crazy when it’s time to start making our photo book in the near future.

One of my major goals for 2015 is to master a system to organise and store all my photos. I break out in a sweat just thinking about it. Please, wish me luck.

Here is the next batch of my favourite shots from our trip.

Can you spot the two turbaned men in white?

A little urban garden in the courtyard of a palace guesthouse. I contemplated stealing those flags. But resisted. (Ghanerao)

Woman at temple in Udaipur.

Expect to see fresh floral garlands in every single on of these Indian Snapshot posts. These garlands were adorning the holy motorcycle shrine that I mentioned in the last post.

Ladies doing the daily washing at the lake in Udaipur.

Beautiful door. Stray dog. (Ghanerao)

This is the friend of the yellow turbaned man from Indian Snapshots *1*

He pulled this pipe out of his turban and asked me to take a photo of him pretending to smoke it. I’m still wondering what else he has stored in his turban. (Ghanerao)

Found this shot on my camera. Taken by my daughter who has obviously adopted my love of photographing her feet.

Perfect spot for some spiced chai first thing in them morning. (Ghanerao)

I don’t know what these little steps along this blue wall were for (they are overlooking a lake). But right after I took this photo they were covered with frolicking monkeys trying to make eye contact with us. (Deeg Palace)
