Just back from an amazing 7 day trip to the Jim Corbett National Park, the oldest park in the country.
Sharing an image I made at the park.
This month I feature a small wading bird, Ruddy Turnstone.
I made this picture on a beach near Alibaug.
After many months, did I get a chance to go into the wild & make a few decent pictures! I am sharing with you a picture of a Small Green Bee Eater, I made at Veer. Veer is a dam near Pune, where the migratory Bar Headed Geese make home every winter. Visited the place with the intention of making a few pictures of the Geese, but was unsuccessful this time.
As usual I have the calendar in three different resolutions, if none of these images fit your screen resolution, let me know, I will make one for you. :)Classic letterbox monitor (4:3)To download,

This summer like every summer I could not camp, I spent my days in an AC office, hammering away at the keyboard, just like any other 'IT Worker'. Last week I saw a small window to make good an escape from the AC office to a Tiger Sanctuary, before they closed down for the monsoons. Making a mad dash, I managed to join a group of friends heading to Kanha Tiger Reserve. The forest looked just plain beautiful, with shades of green and brown. Never had I had a chance to see Kanha in this season. It seemed like all the deers in the forest had come out into the meadows to celebrate and get wet in the rains. The male chital (spotted deers) sported beautiful antlers.
This July calendar, I send across a picture of one such male Chital.Classic square monitor (4:3)To download,
