My thoughts about the world I see through my eyes behind the camera.
This pair of wild camel were drinking water near the reservoir. When we walked near they huddled together comforting eachother. It was as if one was telling the other that it’s ok don’t worry, I am here. People say animals… I say even they have emotions.
Behold the Ship of the Desert.
Did you know……………..
Camels usually travel in heaps to keep cool as the smaller the surface area relative to bulk, the less the heat lost or gained through the surface.
They can sweat to remove heat but the sweat is not seen. They can tolerate 25% weight loss (double the dehydration level in other mammals) without thickening of blood that would cause death in other mammals, as the blood plasma of camels is the last part to lose water.
They have enough tear glands and double rows of long, curled eyelashes to protect their eyes from blowing sand. They can close their noses by contraction of the circular muscle during sandstorms. The broad, padded toes are insulated to avoid the sand’ s heat. The strong, flexible web of the toes prevent them from sinking into the sand.
Vijay a dear friend of mine. An experiment out of boredom with a torch and camera.
With so much we get in our daily life we fail to appreciate simple things in life. Water. Being a woman, many of them have to walk several kilometers daily just to fetch water for daily needs. Something we often waste and don’t appreciate. So much hard work and we are fighting for Women’s Rights. Think about it…
When all you can think is to play and have the power to enjoy every moment of the day with your pal. When you look around and find no restriction but joy…. that is when you find pure bliss. On our way back from the Radhangar Beach in Havelock, we saw these kids, diving, slushing, swishing away to glory, grappling in the mud and yet enjoying the pure bliss of the moment. I felt the loss of that long lost feeling, we have grown up but these kids were still living it. It was Pure Bliss.
This little doggy became the most attractive model for my wife in The Garden of Five Senses. She did not stop chasing it and then pestered it to pose for me. The sweet little puppy was tolerant enough to hold still for some time with inquisitive eyes asking why he was being coaxed to sit in front of some black frame before it scrammed away really fast so that my wife could no longer chase after it.
The vibrant colour of the Consolida so vividly announced the retreat of Winters as Spring arrived. Consolida is a genus of about 40 species of annual flowering plants in the buttercup family Ranunculaceae, native from western Europe through theMediterranean region east to central Asia. The common name, Larkspur, is shared with the closely related genus Delphinium.
The twinkle in her eye said it all……. there she was a beautiful child all full of curiosity and hope for something exciting and wonderful to happen every moment in her life. A child so full of innocence, hoping for something better than her present, looking towards a bright future…..
I heard a rustle, in the trees,
So slight, but still, was there,
Yet there was not the faintest breeze,
So still, the forest air.
