Serving suggestion :-

1. You can sprinkle some maple syrup or plum sauce instead of honey.
2. Goes well with ice cream to make a wonderful dessert. Put a scoop of ice cream and arrange the fried wontons around it & serve.

I prefer it with a scoopy of strawberry ice cream as the combination not only tastes yummy, the pink & golden brown combination is very appetizing.

Twilight Hours - Part III

Good Evening!

Hope you enjoyed Part-I and Part-II of my twilight hours.

.......

Evening hours if you get a light cool breeze there is nothing like it to lift your spirits after a tiring day.

The evening walks in the park is full of pleasure as I see different coloured flower beds, the green grass, new plants, a small pond and active pigeons, kids playing and lot more happenings. 

 

Who will not love to walk through this winding path surrounded by greenery & filled with chirping of birds!

In each and every tree lot of birds comes to rest in the evenings at their reserved branches. Large number of sparrows occupy single small trees and make continuous chirps till it gets dark. Once the sun sets, you will never know that there are so many little things residing in that tree.....they maintain such a pin drop silence! .....

Twilight is the time for bats.....yes, small & big they emerge suddenly from somewhere. They fly in the air catching insects.....you can see them flying everywhere swiftly busy eating & successfully navigating in the air without hitting any hurdle on their path.

Slowly nocturnal life comes alive with the cricket's stridulation. The shrill voice they make fills the air giving the night its unique music of different notes.

Sorry folks, i couldn't catch the photo of the flying bats, owls etc though I see them. Will try capture the shots soon :-)

The evening in the beach is truely lovable. I enjoyed every minute watching the light, fading slowly ,with the sun setting near the horizon.  The breeze becomes so cool, height of waves, rising....... sharing with you a sunset shot I had taken by beach side.....the silhouette of the landscape next to the beach...

Imagine you are standing in the beach, letting the small waves wet your feet and this beautiful scene in front of you......

While you admire the beauty, here is another beautiful song scored by Maestro Illayaraja that plays in my mind .....language?! no problem. Just enjoy the music 

Thanks for being with me through the beautiful twilight hours wish you all a pleasant evening.

Twilight Hours Part - II

Hope you enjoyed my Twilight Hours Part - I and shots taken on a cloudy evening.

A cool morning hours when the nature set chirp tone alarm wakes me up, nothing like it for a good start of a day. After taking my cup of coffee I come and stand near the window looking at the greenery beneath and hearing the happy greetings of folks from bushes and trees.

To see the sun rise in the east is a feast to eyes like a sunset. But the later  gives a cool night hence the pleasure stays long.

here are some sunrise photos 

a foggy morning......the chikoo fruit hanging from the trees seen clearly through the passing fog. It caught my attention so here it is for you.

Twilight hours Part - I

The dawn and dusk are the two most beautiful hours that god has gifted us with every day. The sky changes its look & shade every minute. I always enjoyed an evening drive or sitting in the terrace & watching sky throwing hues of colours while the sun rise or set.

The trees or buildings get into a shadow painting with a orange or light pink background which keeps changing.

Yesterday evening it was cloudy. The monsoon clouds have started passing by our land. Yesterday I happened to see a landing plane with the rain clouds background and it captured my heart so had it stored in my mobile to share with you.

Here are those clicks.

 

A melodious song scored by mastero ilayaraja from a tamil picture 'Nizhalgal' (shadows) of '80s runs in my mind.  Here sharing the link to that song.

If you can understand tamizh it will add more life into the song while you hear.  If you don't still you will be able to enjoy it as music is an universal language. Listen to the back ground music, the chirpings of the birds, the pictresque evening sky, etc...
