Winter Flowers- Ginia

Winter Flowers in my own indoor garden. Just trying to see how much of a close-up I can do with my normal 18- 55 mm canon zoom lens.. not bad it seems!! Of course if I have a macro lens it will be awesome!!

Guinea Pigs

Guinea Pigs are very timid by nature and give birth to 3-4 babies at a time and they have many such times every year. So guess what? We had to return them to the shop as the children along with the parents were always shrieking for food!!! They squeal like pigs!! We did not have time to handle so many guinea pigs at the same time!! Alas!!

Termite Hill

Legend has it that Sant ("Maharshi") Balmiki was a dacoit named Ratnakar. He used to loot the common people to make his living. One day he asked his family if they will share his sins. They said no because it is his duty to feed them and how he does it his own problem. So though they take his food the sins will be his alone for him to atone. This made him think and he went through some more mental elevation with the help of the gods. So he went into meditation. So deep and long was his meditation that termites built a hill on his body and hid him from sight. People going past the termite hill could only hear some chants coming out of the hill but not see his body. One day he emerged from the hill fully changed and turned into a saint, who wrote The Ramayanas.

I wonder it that termite hill would look as big as this one!!

Captive Birds

From zoos (I forget now, where) Very soon I will buy myself a telephoto lens and take some real pictures of FREE BIRDS!!

Birds and the Beasts

I am stating this as a photogallery but as i get the hang of this, I wll make this a photoblog in the meaninf of the term. For now here are some photos of animals around me. Naturally to start with they are not from the deep sea nor from the jungles as I said in my first photoblog page that I am just scanning old photos and at the same have time started shooting with my new camera, but this takes time.. so maybe .. hmmm.. 5yrs hence??
