A morning walk in the Village of Punjab, India

I visited my friends house at Patiala, on 28th feb/1st March. His home is located in beautiful green surrounding areas of rural Punjab. I asked him for a morning walk with our cameras. As I know there's a lot of beauty hidden there in nearby areas.
We started around 7am; Sun was out.We crossed the campus to reach nearby Pears garden. My friend informed me that we will see beautiful flowers on Pears trees. And I was amazed when we reached there after 10 min walk.I said Wow!!! So beautiful blossoms. I took along my Samsung point and shoot camera and kept my SLR at home; due to two reasons, one is obvious its weight as I was lazy in the morning and second, I know the Macro capabilities of Digicam. Its 10 MP camera with excellent image quality and Macros are stunning too.

Hope you agree.
Here it is fertile soil of Punjab.

Punjab has the lowest level of hunger in India and Poverty rate is also lowest around 6%. Punjab (the five rivers region) is one of the most fertile regions on earth. The region is ideal for wheat-growing. Rice, sugar cane, fruits and vegetables are also grown. It produces 60% of India's wheat, and 40% of India's rice. Some data from wikipedia

In the above shot the soil is being irrigated and vegetables are sowed in.

I kept on taking shots of nice pears blossoms.

Then I noticed some dead trees.

I inquired and got to know that these are replanted here from somewhere else(Migrated) :(

Then we moved on and saw this beautiful textures under my feet. Straight down. This is cracked soil as may be watered few days back.

There were so tiny buds at ground, I bent on knees to take following shot.

I was amazed at depth of filed of these macro shots, looked stunning to me.
And notice the DOF on following shots ;-)
I can see a bit dew on these little flowersActual distance from lens may be around 1 or 2 cm.
following was so soft I afraid to touch as it may damage its fur


And here comes classic Scare Crow, converted to black and white.
And there the real thing the identity on Punjab the "Wheat" plants
Wow!!! what a depth of field I got from this little cam. Bravo to Samsung. It was shot with Macro focus in Auto mode as in Program mode it was taking a bit long to focus.

And following are also stunning macros Imho.


These little flowers are of the size of my thumb

I was moving back from another route and here are two villagers in their happy mood
Sky was great at that day. (I underexposed it a bit in PP)

And finally I reached back at my destination and it is tube-well house, located nearby my friends home, used for irrigation to fields.It was one of greatest walk I ever had and will remember lifelong. I hope you enjoyed the morning walk with me. Thanks for accompanying. See you.
