Yellow Hues of Flowers at Birla Temple [Jaipur]

Have you seen my post on Moti Doongri Ganeshji? Just beside the Moti Doongri Ganeshji Temple is Birla Temple. In the premises of Birla Temple, there are different sorts of trees planted, bordering the pathways and gardens. Looking at camera in my hand, one of the trees offered me some good pixels! My appreciation resulted in the photos of yellow hues that follow below. I hope, you'll enjoy the yellow hues as much as I did.

Cute street puppies playing at Parvati [Pune]

We went to Parvati a few months back. It's a small hill in Pune city. A few steps up, and nice views of the city are in front of you. Climbing up, there were a few puppies that caught our attention. We told them, "you all cannot run away from our cameras", and voilà!

Indian Roller [Coracias Benghalensis]

What a beauty! Sheer beauty, I must say. Indian Roller [scientific name: Coracias Benghalensis] is truly exquisite in terms of looks. I am sure, you will understand what I mean to say looking at my minor efforts of taking photographs of the gorgeous bird. Look at it; don't you think that Indian Roller is a true beauty? If you agree with me, you will not be surprised to know that Indian Roller is a symbol of many Indian states!

Shikra AKA Little Banded Goshawk [Scientific Name: Accipiter Badius] - Bird of Prey

On way to Veer Dam, where Megha photographed me as One Man Crowd, a Shikra, not Shakira ;) caught our attention.



Shikra is a small bird of prey, of hawk category. In some parts of the world, Shikra is called Little Banded Goshawk [in fact, may be considered a sub-species]. Shikra is found almost everywhere in Africa and Asia. Frankly, when I saw the Shikra for the first time a few years back, I thought that it was a falcon! Fool me :)
