All Dressed Up!

With all the power lines, the sky view from our house
is never the best. But sometimes the display of sunset
colours are so beautiful that momentarily you forget
about those lines...!

Stumped--by these sights!

One often comes across tree stumps with fungi sprouting
on them. A common sight really, especially after the rains.
But the colourful leaves from a nearby tree made the contrast
here,a striking one. Pictured below, is another side of the
same stump looking less spectacular.



Another stump had this caterpillar. I've always had a thing for
creepy-crawlies and as I clicked away, I thought I'd break out
in a rash...But the feeling passed as soon as I moved away.
Since then I've been able to photograph them without feeling
that the itchiness would start soon!

Landscape

The view from my parents' backyard. When the sun
is well on its way westward,it looks like this. The
Barail Ranges are covered with rain-bearing clouds
in the month of April.



Dawn casts its spell on the same landscape. It's like
another world altogether. Nature's colours light up
the horizon in these beautiful shades.
