I have said this before, it rains Purple Sunbird in my area. I liked it a lot that this one decided to pose next to Bougainvillea flowers. After a long time managed to catch some unknown birds too. Have posted it on the Indiamike thread, will post them on the blog too once they get identified.

Skywatch Friday- A Beautiful Sunset
The sunset was particularly beautiful the last Saturday at Gurgaon. And I was at a place where I knew there would be a reflection. I have realized one thing. It is because of the Skywatch weekly posts I have become such a keen observer of the sky. So head over to the Skywatch page for…

Friday Flowers- Peacock Flowers
I first cropped this picture but then I decided that I will let it go as it is. All the peacock flower and butterflies and bees were clicked in October 2010 during the Commonwealth Games break!
Another Mustard Sunset
I love being around mustard fields around the sunset time, it gives quite an opportunity to play around with different settings. For more pictures of skies from around the world, visit the Skywatch Page.
