Rabbana Aatina Milladunka Rahmah wa Hayyii’ lana min amrina rashada! (The Arabic for this prayer written in English script) ~Photo and design by me

Gently the trees swayed in the sea breeze…

As the water touched my feet and washed back into the sea, I felt it take away my frustrations and worries right with it.

As twilight approached the beach got calm and quiet…

The beach umbrellas were put away…

And the white beach chairs were piled up together…

I wonder if this leaf is prodding the sun to just set now…

And set it did…!

Complexes within the simplicity.

A flower bud. Endless possibilities. This is just the beginning…

The new merges with the old to produce a unique tree.

A glimpse of what was a beautiful tree.

Watching over you…

Let the rays of the sun shine through the darkest of moments.

Just hanging in there. Aren't we all?

Red, luscious, juicy. Tomatoes anyone?

I don't know a single person who doesn't like watermelons!

Method in the madness?

Have you ever been to a tomatina festival? I'd love to go!

Things aren't perfect but I think I'll make it.

The sun and the moon follow courses exactly computed. Surah Rahman ayah 5, Al Quran

Iconic hotel, Burj ul Arab. Never been inside. Have you?

This fence separates the Burj's beach with the open beach.

Err.. someone seriously needs to clean up this fence!

Sometimes the best things in life are simple.

'Twas a cloudy evening. Kinda.

Is it pregnant? Sorry, I just couldn't handle the 'tummy sticking out' bit.

Carrot cake at Central Perk

I could seriously use one of those right now!

Triple layer chocolate cake. I'll do the dieting another time!

Ah! A frothy latte to wash it down with!

Little One is a picky eater! She loved it. Delish.

Canal Walk

Festival City

It was kinda chilly out there!

Reflections, perspectives

Optimism

If only some ties were this strong.

Life in hindsight is always clearer
