Sky Watch





For more Sky watchers visit Skywatch.

(For the next 15 days we will be on roads, touring the length and breadth of Rajasthan, India. Rajasthan, the land of Rajas (kings), the land of forts, the land of temples and the land of cenotaphs. I had been dreaming about this trip for the past few months, now finally all the bookings and reservations done, daughters' exams over, we are off to enjoy the short vacation.)

Seasons Greetings to you all, my dear blogger friends!

Mallard



Camera Critters


I shot at this mallard...
I mean with my camera. Isn't it looking beautiful?

Ducks have no blood vessels or nerves in their feet, so they can't feel cold even in frigid water. Interesting, huh?

The Elephant Family






The Elephant family at Mysore zoo. Do click on it to view an enlarged image. :) What we got to see here was a chained family. I wish I could book seats in flights to south africa to see a free elephant family. Elephants that can roam around free and don't feel the threat of humans.
