Hi, Virgil! Those birds are really cute, as I am a bird leufer. (lover)Did you take those fabulous pictures by yourself? If so, you're a great photographer! I wish I live in Massachusettes. (that was a tough one to spell, pardon moi.)Quote:

These pictures are the ones that I took on the road while going to take a safari for inside jungle visit. It was early morning and many birds (peacock and jungle fowl) and animals (deer and langur) come near the road that passes through the jungle.
This is a wildlife sanctuary -- Bandipur National Park. Its approx 300 kms from Bangalore, a city in Karnataka (South India).

--This is a Langur (a long tailed monkey). What I wanted to capture in this picture was the pose of this monkey. Notice, how he is sitting on a delicate branch.

These are the only animals that I could see, as inside the jungle, even these were not visible. I will make sure that I visit a sanctuary in the right season. I so much wanted to see Tigers, Leopards...but...~sigh~

Wonderful pictures Maddie. I love wildlife too. Big hunter animals like tigers are very difficult to see. Probably only when they are ready to attack, and then you don't want to see them. ;)
Exactly, that was the one I was referring to :nod:
Thanks, Virg :D Yes, big animals are rare to spot, and the only thing that I could see were the pug marks. And its difficult to take a pic in the right pose, the moment you find them in a superb shot taking position, they move :rolleyes:
The more I look at that one Maddie the more I like it. Lots of lovely shades of color, the blurryness seems to make it even better, and lots of other interesting elements like the ducks in the foreground. I think I may have that printed enlarged and framed.Quote:

I thought I might share some pictures from my recent trip to Dublin with you. But first I need to visit Kathy's newbie thread to read about how to post pictures from my pc :D.
It is a good piece to get framed. What caught my eye was the different shades of grass. You are correct, its blurryness makes it look like a painting. The blue background, the lonesome cottage. Very nice picture :nod:
Thanks, Cookie :D Do check out some pictures of Delhi on page 27.Quote:

Ya, I said that it was not crowded. I thought its a far away place that you visited, which is still not known to many people, and thats why its so peaceful.Quote:

That's me in a Dublin shopping centre that is of architectural merit in itself. The roof (in the background) is all made of glass.

That's me on a bridge over the river Liffey. Quite windy day that was :D.

This here is picture of one of Dublin big streets, with the monument of an Irish politician on the left:
