Cambodia Flower by Rosidah Abidin

I like to take flower images after the rain. I don’t know why but seeing them gives nice comforting feelings to my soul. This is a Cambodia flower near my daughter’s school. There are a lot of beautiful plants in that area.

Indonesian Beach by Faisal Dahlan

This is another picture from my friend Faisal on one of his vacations, but he doesn’t remember which beach it was…

Well, I couldn’t blame him. Indonesia has many beautiful beaches. Just search the Web and you’ll find more amazing views like this.

Manado Tua Mountain, Bunaken 2006 by Erwin Hendrawijaya

I just love seeing nature’s beauty. It’s giving me some inner peace. The photo above was taken by my friend Erwin Hendrawijaya on his vacation  to Bunaken, one of the world’s most beautiful and various marine life. You can see the image of Manado Tua Mountain.

This is my 8 year old daughter’s latest school project. You can find out about the process  on my personal blog here or read even more about it on BeadJewelryMaking.com.

I just love to see the raindrops falling from this beautiful rose apple flower. It was slightly raining and I was looking around to find some interesting photo objects while escorting my daughter to one of her school activities.  Since I’m only an amateur taking some pictures with my mobile phone, can you imagine what a professional photographer could do? Mother nature is such a beauty. It’s a shame that some people don’t care.

I found a quite comprehensive rose apple profile on the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service site, if you would like to know more about this plant.
