I am off to Mumbai tomorrow (for work) and will be back on Friday. I will lug my laptop around but not sure if I would be able to connect. Came to know that I am going just today afternoon. But then next week I could be going to Mumbai again but waiting for 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…
Red Brested Flycatcher
Red Brested Flycatcher is one beautiful bird, it would let me come quite close with my 30-700mm lens and let me take a few decent pictures. Managed to get it identified on Indiamike as usual. The male has a red spot but not the one I spotted. But let us see what I get this…
Lazy Sunday Photo- Black Ibis from Gir, Gujarat
There was too much light, the bird was partially in shade but I had to click the Black Ibis. I can also see the picture of the bird tagged as Red Naped Ibis. I saw it many times but never got a good photo opportunity.
A Nightjar at Gir, Gujarat
A Nightjar is a nocturnal bird. It was so difficult to spot and then photograph. You can see how well camouflaged the bird is. I used Picnik to edit it and whatever little I used it for, I am liking it, gives me more flexibility than Picasa and yet lets me upload the pictures from Picasa itself. Clicked…
Friday Flowers- Chrysanthemums from the Neighbor's Pots
These lovely Chrysanthemum flowers are growing next door. What a joy they are!
Skywatch Friday- Sunset Colors at Gurgaon
For quite a few days we had Grey skies here. But in this week there were quite a few sunny days. This picture is from one of the better days. Today it is partly cloudy so I hope there would be colors at the sunset. Let us see. There was one day when I saw…
Yet More Purple Sunbirds
I managed to click Purple Sunbirds on Saturday and then on the same Bottle Brush Flowers I found it again. I guess I just got lucky. Let us see if I find it again on this weekend as well, these and the Indian Grey Hornbill as well. And to think of it that I had…
Another Green Bee Eating Bird
Another one of the backyard birds, a Green Bee Eating Bird this time. Liked the way I could get the red of the eyes. Never managed to see it before.
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…
