Trip to valley school today morning was a great one. Since i don’t have enough time right now to write more, i’ll leave with few images showing the creatures i enjoyed watching and photographing.
Plants – use sun to tap energy
Bougainvillea
Birds – live on these plants and tress
Red Vented Bulbul
Birds - young ones are born and brought up on plants
Red Vented Bulbul chick
Was photographing the adult from the car in close range. Didn’t know there was a nest nearby. This young one got disturbed, and flew out of the nest a few feet and landed on the ground. Shot this image and left the spot feeling bad for disturbing the little one.
Molluscs - Crawling their way through
African Giant Snail
This was a co-operative one. Shot this at various angles, with and without flash.
Insects – Beetle rolling it up
This beetle was putting in a lot of effort in rolling up a ball. Don’t know the identity of this beetle. Beetles constitute about 50% of insects species.
Arachnids – Your friendly neighborhood hero
Araneus Mitifica
This pretty looking spider was hanging from a tree. I guess, she got disturbed as we were around and started ascending. Got this shot on Manual focus as AF was struggling to lock this tiny creature in the frame.
That’s all folks for now, off to watch IPL finals. Go RCB!
P.S.: Will update this post with more info on each of these images, do come back if interested.
Update done. (29/05/09 11:49PM)

I chanced upon your blog and found it very informative. The event blogs are striking enough to have a feel of the event, so, I would like to have a little chit-chat on your blogging interests. And even we are coming up with an event on startups on June 6th in Bangalore. So, can I have your contact details? Looking forward to hear from you.
