One evening as we were about to exit the Amboseli National Park to return to our lodge, we noticed an African Elephant with a calf by the side of the road. As we came closer to it to get a couple of pictures, we noticed that the calf was very young. Our guide pointed out […]
Tacuarita Azul (Masked Gnatcatcher) Polioptila dumicola
Hoy cerca del mediodÃa unos minutos antes de que el almuerzo esté listo las escuché cantando en el árbol del patio del vecino, acomodé mi sillón de espaldas al sol y luego de pocos minutos de espera las dos tacuaritas azules se cambiaron de árbol y se pasaron a mi limonero. Estas son algunas fotos […]

Rather than change the colour of the subject, I wanted to see what effect it would create if I removed the background colour. Presumably, it […]
Scent of a Tiger in Tadoba
After the few game drives the previous day in the buffer zone, we headed into the core zone in Tadoba National Park today. We were welcomed by a herd of Chital (Spotted Deer) and it was a lovey sight to spot a couple of sparring stags, which we will describe in another post. As we […]
