Goodbye Summer

I rammed her photostream till it was broken for this beauty!!
She steps out of her cot way too early in the morn than anyone of us can imagine; a quick splash of water and she's in her kitchen quietly packing a solo light picnic pack. She tip toes out of her front door; locks the door ( ah she's locked her husband in!! yes yes); and bursts forth riotously into the early hues of a merciful morn. Let's follow her trail...

That's Iris Hues for you. A soon-to-be doctorate from IIT Delhi (wow; she's brains all over...and she's my friend ;P), she hearts birding, wildlife, food frames and more frames! With a mind of her own, she laps each day with a humongous appetite for anything beautiful that catches the fancy of her lens-its lights and hues...


This particular snap is one of my faves in her stream; as summer fades in the dance of Thor here...Hues of Summer for you by Iris Hues.

.........................................................................................................................................................

I'm taking a two-month break from blogging; maybe not from blog-hopping. Reason: Lock stock barrel movement to a new city-one of its kind!!

Till then ciao...love you folks!

Good luck moving, hope it goes smoothly. Just helped my daughter move 8 hours away. Had to drive a van with ten cats, my daughter and spouse, after helping son-in-law load truck.
It was a hassle, please plan carefully.
I like the photo too.

Thank you T ...i loved how your imagination rendered more hues to my glass-light world.

Enjoyed sifting through your eclectic world and added citrus pudding and "easy rasmalai" to my to dos. The second one is a big challenge as i never do traditional Indian sweets and desserts at home...more to do with all the hard work that goes into it...so when "easy rasmalai" beckoned i decided to take the first step and checked out the recipe...i hope i can serve it up sometime soon:)

Anna C said...

Thoma, my heart goes out to you with all the work involved in moving. We recently had to uproot temporarily and there is quite a bit of work and planning involved. I can't start to imagine a move to another city! Best of luck with your move. You will be missed during your two month absence. Nice to hear you will at least be visiting by blog hopping.

Purabi Naha said...

Loved your post! Your blog looks wonderful!!

Elisabeth said...

Thoma-I wish you all the luck relocating in your new place...I know it's a lot of work, I've done that two years ago, and had to downsize a lot to move into a smaller place.
I smiled about your comment to me about "what's the fuss" with my garlic rolls?...the fuss was, that I wanted to make it perfect, and made sure I follow Suhaina's directions.

We will miss you, so don't stay away too long, drop us a line or two, when you get a chance to catch up with your stuff.
Loved the photos, you posted...so pretty!
xoxo

Thoma:
You are moving? Hope you have a smooth transition. Keep us updated on your new city.

2011 also a very mobile year to me, we had made a major move from Auckland back to Malaysia and moving house for renovation and expected to move back to renovated house in year end again.
