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.

It all started with a chapter on my daughter’s natural science text book connected to the life cycle of butterflies …
Following these winged beauties has become one of the most enjoyable activity as well as a great stress reliever. Something so badly required during these tough days, right ?

We must let it in. Without nature and all she does, we would perish. We must support and enhance nature wherever we can or face the very dire consequences.

I have now made it a practice to identify different simple themes and try my hands at photography.
It teaches us also more on our nature and it’s delicate interconnections …
