Python

I found this python luxuriously resting in its own coils, showing none of the behaviors that classify this reptile as a fearsome predator.

Mischief

This lioness may be a powerful predator, but I couldn't help imagining it as a mischievous overgrown cat, especially since she was sticking out her tongue at me.

Feline

This has to be the coolest, most regal creature on earth. I took this picture as this tiger was waking up from its afternoon siesta.

Standing Tall

A clump of Arecca-Nut trees crowd around me as I take this picture of the monsoon sky. With the sun blocked out by the clouds, these trees threaten to block out the sky too.

Drenched

A brief dry spell between the monsoon rains leaves this late blooming flower a little wet, yet colorful among all the greenery around.

Why did the Chicken Cross the Road

The title says it all. The moment i took this picture, I knew it would end up on this blog, and that it would be titled this way.

This little village road in Kerala shows just how steep the road is. It gets steeper up the hill, but I did not have a vantage point with a perspective to show the gradient. The house in the background establishes a vertical in this picture.

Rainwater

This picture was taken in between rains during the Indian monsoon season. All it is is a drainage channel by the side of a road, but I find water fascinating. The dance and the drama of water are unmatched by any other subject.

Ambassador

Kerala, as seen from the window of an Ambassador. For those who know the Ambassador, no additional explanation is needed. For those who don't, no words can capture the feeling.

Children

There seems to be nothing more child like than to be able to run into a colony of roosting seagulls, without having to worry about knowing if they will attack.

King of the Hill

Someone put some mighty effort into making a sandcastle that in all fairness looked amazing. Along come some kids and roughhouse around it, leaving the sandcastle no more. Though I didn't like seeing the sandcastle come down, I enjoyed the innocent fun the kids seemed to be having.
