Blue fox tail

Found this pretty little flower on the side of a road. I'm seeing this flower for the first time, I think. However, it seems like the Blue Fox Tail is a rarely seen flower, at least in Karnataka.

King of our skies

April 28th morning. Pushpa spotted this handsome creature resting on the neighboring apartment building. In a moment I decided to take a few shots so I got my cameras. I shot 30+ shots in a few minutes and sharing four of them here.

The king of our skies heard the camera beep when it locks on the subject. The king was curious about the sound and started looking around. Is it a bird or a squirrel or some other creature. It's expressions were childlike. Ironic isn't it ironic that a predator like an Indian Kite is capable of being guileless.

DC Compound wall paintings

The core parts of Dharwad is occupied by government offices and educational institutions. The campus walls are decorated with paintings of authors' & poets' portraits, drawings depicting cultural heritage, rural scenes, and a few wildlife creatures. While most of the paintings are in white paint over red walls, there are a few colorful paintings as well. Here are my some of my favorite works of arts.

I would like to photograph all the paintings there and, publish them too. I'm sure it would be an interesting project.
