Next came Goa with its birds and snakes – a truly wild experience . Here is a purple heron that we spotted when we went birding in Zuari
More birding again near Sira in Karnataka where we saw some painted storks in a small village called Kaggaladu.
Then came Sira’s fort and Dargah and Sibi’s Narasimha temple .
Back to Tamil Nadu in March with birding in Pulicat lake and the ancient Dutch cemetery in the town
A visit to Nilgiris and her hill stations followed . A visit to the Lawrence School., Lovedale, the alma mater of my dad was on the cards
And thereafter I went to Thirumalai to see some ancient jaina shrines and cave paintings
Madras or Chennai has been my regular port of halt in the last few months. The Marina has been my focus for a while and while I am at home in Bangalore, I have been treated to some gorgeous sunsets as well.

lovely captures all!!
The old lady of Thattekadu,
ramrod straight,
no skin,
but just bones,
stands tall
in the forests
of her life.
Habits die hard;
Dry, leafless
but
still reaching out,
she holds out
her
arthritic limbs,
despite
those little
skin cuts and breaks,
trying to
shelter,
those who
called themselves
her’s
in their younger days…..
