When It Rains …

It is monsoon time here in Kerala, the land, blessed with stunning natural beauty. Where ever you look at, you could see thousands shades of green.

One more monsoon in the age of Covid, restricted movements and limited options to liberate yourselves.

When I got an opportunity to travel last week, I didn’t think twice and it was a much needed break indeed. Out in the wilderness, the feel was in-explainable, even with two layers of masking.

Let me share a mix of images and have a great weekend (or a week ahead) 🙂

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’.
