Not the perfect exposure and conditions for the shot, but managed to get a decent one to upload. You can find a much better version of the same butterfly on the wonderful photo stream of my friend @ "http://www.flickr.com/photos/mayurkotlikar/5203566324/"

A candid shot of my little daughter when she was busy playing. The 70-300 is surprisingly good for candid portraits as well. I have got many such beautiful shots from a distance without bothering her.

Had been to a one day outing with family and friends to a nearby jungle resort. The garden there was full with flowers and butterfly's. So here comes the first one. It will be followed by a couple more :)

Flower

One of the most difficult subject under the light and wind conditions i had during the shoot. Leave alone the light and light breeze that made the job difficult to get one in proper focus, the exposure on this subject was so difficult to get right. I spent clicking 100's of shot of this flower and got only a few coming out good. Here is one of it.

A landscape shot from the wild. Its a small lake all surrounded by the dense forest. I have taken the shot of same lake earlier, but this is now from a different location, but its so weird that the view looks so similar.

Had been to my native place to celebrate Diwali last week. Had a nice peaceful time away from work and with family. I will catch up with your streams soon.
The above shot was shot in the garden at my home in my native place. I had not seen such butterfly before and was lucky to get it shot when i was almost frustrated to not find anything interesting to shoot.
