Ahhhh....!!

After I don't know how long it is, I am actually finding some time to scribble a bit here. Still can't manage to spend enough time to think about something and write it down; but nevertheless, it is much better that at least I can write some nonsense than not being able to do anything at all. Have been thinking about writing about my love for fressshhh water, swimming and diving but that will have to wait for some more time. Meanwhile, I am awaiting my much hyped(by me) and coveted weeklong holiday starting next weekend. It is only 5 days before I board the flight but these 5 days are seeming to be quite long ones. And there are several things with this trip that makes it extra exciting for me - I have been longing to go to these places since I was a kid and finally I am going to be there! And I am venturing into digital photography for the first time. Over that, this time I am moving on from colour negative film to transperencies - yet another thing I had been contemplating for a long time; guess I can't ask for anything more than that! :))

Yet another picture of a bird against the mirror.

WHITE EYE(Kannada: biLigaNNina chittuhakki)

It was a lot of fun getting an image of this bird. On a wayside restaurant on Mysore Road, where we had stopped for breakfast, they had a mirror mounted on the outside wall which used to draw a lot of birds. In the half an hour I spent there, I could observe three birds trying to communicate with their couterpart across the mirror. This 'white eye' was so small that it was flying for a long time within the frame of the viewfinder, and I managed to take 3 pics. This is one of them
