As October brings a reminder to the end of year 2010, I realized I haven't kept a track of some of the most beautiful moments from this year. I apologize for not updating those moments here, a space that has been a constant companion for all these years in US; that stood by silently during my highs and lows of a 6 years relationship with "my" PhiD.
I feel guilty, as if I forgot a friend! I am sincerely sorry, and I think I am going to make up for it before 31st Dec hits the clock!
Thanks to a friend of mine who during a conversation reminded me, that I have a blog too!
So, here is my first post since this realization.. "When work in fun!"
Yes, I finally did get a job that lets me travel and work in some of the most beautiful places on earth. In this case it is
Custer National Forest, Montana visited in August.
The Team Members
We went there for developing a methodology to map and monitor rare landscape elements : "woody draw and deciduous component". This include various deciduous tree species like Aspen, Cottonwood, Birch etc. found along the valley bottoms or mountain slopes.
A typical woody draw and deciduous component within this landscape
"Discussion, Planning and Decision Making" - rule sets to successful complete the project (or progress in life)!
"Remotely sensing"
stuff in sometimes helps in getting an insight ahead of time. Here where they (deciduous component) occur and why?
While it was a trip for business, I must it was a beautiful business ! And here are the memories of it...

"Who is here?"
'Oh no! some humans again!!! '

"The Beartooth mountain range"
"My first stay in a small US town with 300 people - Tipperary"
"Native
Red Cows like Red Indians!"
Me and the Frog (my real "Ginkobiloba")

"When 1 + 1 is more than 2 it's called beautiful "
"Drag queen! "
"What's beautiful stays beautiful : from top or below"

"Wondering whether to or not to cross the boundary !"
Slims Butte - the landscape
Slims Butte - the history
The ski town called 'Red Lodge' - very colorful and bright but made up of really old buildings.
The Beginning of a travelogue
I think this is the end, of all single post shots on this blog. I had started my photoblog many years back under the DP Challenge of "One Picture a day". I think its time to move on to something new, and enjoying the joy of sharing. Thanks to life and some of my blog friends, if they are still around, for being a witness to my journey so far. I hope you enjoy the rest as well.
Truly
yours
