Garden glories ;)

I love the colour contrast in the above and below picture...juts beatiful!

Oh this beauty would not spread its wings for me to take a picture. This is the best picture I could get of it. Its wings were a gorgeous yellow and black strips.
Out of my persistence, my dad put up a water lily pond for me. Something about water lily reminds me of my childhood and the song my dad used to make me sing (alli ambal...). This is the very first bloom.
After a heavy rain this unfortunate beetle got drenched and found its resting place in my rose bush. But look at its iridescent colour! Truly mother nature is wonderful.
This one was a bit difficult to take a picture of. It kept flying away when I approached. But finally got a click ;).
This is one of my favorites..simply because the colour of the butterfly perfectly goes with the white daisy flowers.

Sunlight between the palm leaves..pretty!
The pebbled pathway of our garden.

Red rose...my favorite...it is at its initial stages of blooming :)
