A Trip to CAS

A Trip to California Academy of Science.

Something to learn and play for me and my daughter.

2 eyes and 2 duties.  One taking pictures and the other enjoying Sujaya enjoying her weekend mini trip.

It was just a 3-4 hours outing, with NO stopping anywhere. Had we got some more time, I will bee feeling blessed to have tried the "outdoor shoots" that I have been wanting to do for a long time now.

But Sujaya was so tired after so much of exploring, playing and learning, that we immediately had to leave. Otherwise, it was beautiful sunshine (evening yellow) and very beautiful cherry orchard right outside of CAS. Perfect time I should say. But unlucky - we didnot find one parking space also. It was so crowded. I was able to see so many people out with their tripods and cameras trying to capture the magnificent cherry orchard.











This little blue bird which comes from the family of humming bird was so swift and was a good challenge to lay a focus.





The jelly fish is the only sea creature that I have ever uploaded or edited. One thing - most of the pics did not turn out fine. Second thing - I am tired of seeing them any more - even for the sake of filtering and editing. I was looking at them with bare eyes or through the lens the whole of the 4 hours we were there. So a BIG no to any of the fish, star fish, and anything else from the water.





Ok these were frogs - nice and with corasting colors, but  I seriously doubt if they were real.







And some butterflies. This summer, I am seriously planning to take good pics of "free range" butterflies.

It was a good experience inside the CAS - not bad. but it would have been wonderful, had we got a parking space to experience capturing the beauty of the cherry orchard.
