This was the sunrise at our campsite called Dhunda in Uttarakhand. In the city I can hardly ever drag myself before 7.00 am out of the bed. In the mountains I was up at the crack of the dawn almost everyday waiting for the magic to happen in the skies! Please visit the Skywatch page…

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!
West End Hotel, Mumbai
In January I went to Mumbai twice, maybe it is because of that I am struggling to get out in February, I exhausted my Feb quota in Jan itself. One of the visits was to chair a session of NHRD on social media. The session itself was quite enjoyable but this post it about the…

Mustard Field
This Sunday I went on the bird round along with Brat 1 (my elder nephew). With him I can venture out further. Got some bird pictures but also realized that I could photograph the mustard fields nearby. But the trouble on Sunday was that I only had the 70-300mm zoom lens with me. So, I…
As the Sun Sets
The bird was sitting against the sun and let me take two pictures before it flew away. I think it is a purple sunbird but somehow looks bigger sitting against the sun. It then went on to sit on the bottle brush flowers again. And kept on showing its beautiful neck. But those pictures are…
Lazy Sunday Photo- Purple Sunbird on Bottle Brush Flowers
Yesterday was a good day. As soon as I started on my bird round I saw a lot of parrots making a huge racket. But they were really far away and I had no way to get closer to them. Then after a while, when I reached my bird lane, I saw this purple sunbird…
