I visited Dilli Haat with my sister on Saturday. As usual it was a riot of colors. I thought I should do a photo feature on it. So here I go. These small miniature roses (not real) make for such a pretty picture. For some I am sure they make pretty decoration pieces as…

Skywatch Friday- Backyard Sunset
A few days back, this was the sunset from my balcony. Meena I unfortunately do not have a story to share with this one as this is just clicked from home. But all of you can share your sky pictures at Skywatch Friday.
Bar Headed Geese, Bharatpur
My guide at Bharatpur said in an excited voice to me “dekho [look] war headed geese.” At least that is what it sounded like to me. And I was quite confused as to why are they called war headed, I thought may be they are too quarrelsome. That flock was quite far away to make…
Small Minivet at Bharatpur
I saw a Small Minivet for the first time at Bharatpur. The male of the species is so colorful! As I just had one day at the park I decided to start early whereas Chhavi and Seshadri joined me later. Till that time I was walking without a guide. I did not spot this bird…

Mangalajodi- What a Serene Place!
This picture was clicked at Mangalajodi in Odisha. How I miss such serene places in my everyday life.
A White Throated Kingfisher
Two hours and 100+ bird pictures later how many I wanted to post on my blog? Zero, zilch. Finally I decided that I have to post one. There is a particular region in the neighborhood where I can always find a Kingfisher. I clicked a lot of pictures standing on the ground and there…
