    Latest picture uploaded of my trip to a river (Krishna) and a dam (Nagarjuna Sagar) nearby.

    Original picture -- a fisherman in his circular boat (not sure what it is called other than that)

    I woouldn't even call that a boat. Looks like a wheel barrel flipped over. You've got to be crazy to float on that thing.

    Excellent photo Maddie, and the edited version looks like a prize winning picture. You should submit that to a photo contest.

    Maddie, love both versions of the picture! That fellow is brave, too, to go in water in a tiny craft like that!

    Thanks

    These fishermen are so used to such kind of living, it's like it's in their blood. There must be some name of this type of boat in their local language, unfortunately I don't know their language.

    This is actually a very tiny coonch (some 2-3 cms long). I zoomed and took this picture. The crust was very fragile, more like the shell of a very tiny snail. There are very big size coonch as well with harder shell.

    Great pictures, Maddie. My favorites are the one of the man floating on the round boat and of the shell. They're very well composed. I like both best in the pre-edited version.

    I love the man in boat, both edited and unedited versions, the conch shell is simple and beautiful, I think I like the coloring of the unedited version better.

    Here are a few photos I took recently.

    This was taken from just outside my home at 6:30 AM:

    Adoereo - Very nice pictures. I can't wait for the spring flowers to bloom. I've seen crocuses bloom around here and the daffodils and tulips are sprouting.

    Dori - I love that first picture very much. Of course I always stand at attention and salute the flag.
