Lazy Saturday Photo Post
Some pictures from a recent weekend trip to Ranganathittu and Kodagu. Among the loveliest things I saw were a Racket-tailed Drongo and an Asian Paradise Flycatcher. I couldn’t take pictures of those, but I give you instead…
A group of painted storks admiring themselves in the water.
A river tern suns itself on a boulder.
A somnolent crocodile that shrugged of its inertia as soon as it saw our boat. Gave us a few moments of pure terror as it glided away under our boat.
Pepper plant, not yet ripe for the plucking.
Wild poinsettia, a common hedge in the plantations.
Early morning light filters through the tree cover at the plantation.
An elephant gets a relaxing scrub, at Dubare elephant camp.
The Buddha with Avalokiteshwara and Guru Padmasambhava, at the Golden Temple, Bylakuppe Tibetan settlement.
Where many roads meet.
