Watermelon Boats ... a Summer Sweetness

The invigorating fragrances of ripe fruits, the buzzing sounds of bees and hummingbirds, colorful flowers, and that refreshing breeze; this is how we know, summer is here.

A best way we celebrate the sweltering heat of summer, is to enjoy our favorite fruits, organic, fresh from Farmers Markets :)

The treat here is not just the sweet watermelons, but also the creative yet classy way, 'Sugarlips' presents it.

Abe Lincoln + Obama = Abama?

Ron English, an aspiring artist paints this clever, creative yet humorous collage of Obama and Abe Lincoln seen as one. It is a part of his book, "Popaganda, The Art and Crimes of Ron English"

Post World War II - World Map

I find this post world war II map very interesting, as it shows us how it has all changed. The countries that were once together, are now two separate beings. For better or worst, one can never tell. Today, we have about 195 countries, for those who don't know.

Combating Global Warming

We all hear about Global Warming, but know very little about how to stop or minimize it. We are told to use less energy, electricity, fuel etc. but are not shown the resources on how to, effectively, perform these tasks.

The image lists various items to help fight global warming

I agree, it is easier said than done. Let's take flying for example. I fly recurrently, because it is faster compared to traveling by land or sea. So instead of being grounded, perhaps the aviation industry should come into play and use cleaner fuel and fuel friendly engines.

A World of Tea...

We love tea, or should I say we all love tea? :)

Tea/Chai is our favorite drink of the day. The story of tea began in ancient China over 5,000 years ago and it is the most commonly consumed beverage in the world after water. So the bottom line is all hail tea and enjoy the wafting aromas of fruit tea!

we clicked this shot as soon as we reached home and can't wait to enjoy the promising flavors inside this artistic tea packet.

One might find this interesting, according to a research, tea is healthier than water. Think about, if you are having tea, you are not only getting water but also various herbs and such from the type of tea bag.

Happy Birthday Nabeel...

In childhood days, birthdays are meant to be a celebration, boisterous laughs, myriad of looks, pleasant surprises, zealous claps, scrumptious food, beautiful ornamentation and heaps of gifts. Life goes on and once we stepped out of the age I mentioned above, everything seems funny and we even get shy just to think about what we have been up to in our childhood days :)

Anyways, putting feelings into words is always been difficult for me, just wanted to do something simple to say Happy Birthday to you and to put that smile I love so much back on your face :) There are no gifts (just kidding) no words, no songs, that can truly show how much that I appreciate that you were born. I wish you peace, happy times and lots of prayers. So all that is left to say is have a very special day today, I mean have the best day of your life today...Hugs :)

Happy Birthday Nabeel...bohut bohut salgirah mubarak :)
Have a day of fun and laughter :)
Lots of hugs and prayers :)

The Hyena Men

The Hyena Men (Gadawan Kura), are the great performers of Nigeria. But be aware, their feat is not for the faint of heart. For example in the act, "mouth to mouth" the Hyena men place raw meat in their mouths and the hyenas snatch it with their large teeth. Now remember, Hyenas have one of the strongest bite force in the animal kingdom. They come right after the Great white shark and Alligator snapping turtle.
