Flowers of My Garden …

It is certainly a very interesting phase in our lives for sure. Movements restricted and forced to spend days on end at home. When the Covid scare emerged and lock down was imposed, I took it as an opportunity at first to spend more time for my long forgotten hobbies.

But, as the lock downs were extended, I started feeling restless and the only option to escape from boredom was to spend more time in our garden and farm.

Identified some different themes each day and started capturing photos of the macro world around and flowers.

One day, I shot all different types of flowers and found that there were 50+ different ones 🙂

I have created a couple of collages and please find it here 🙂

Wordless Wednesday: Still Waiting for the Sunny Days

A Welcome Visitor

Days were overcast and gloomy, raining intermittently and on top of it all, it’s Corona time…

I has been months since we had any visitors and even if some sales person turns up, he’s quickly been turned away politely.

Then, there came a visitor, elegantly, to soothe our minds and also to tell us that it’s not the time to get depressed, but to work on your strengths and be ready to sail when the headwinds stops…

She was the Southern Birdwing, the second largest Butterfly of India with a wing span of around 190mm.

With many a flowering plants and diverse flora around, we do get a chance to watch and photograph many a butterflies and it also shows the importance of micro habitats.

We will definitely overcome this tough time and explore the world …

PS: We had another surprise visitor or an even high profile guest, sometime back, that was the world’s largest moth, the ‘Atlas Moth’.

Please find the link to my post with the images of Atlas Moth here.
