...
and the flower of Love...
These little gems are in pots at our residence door. The buds are less than an inch long and break out into a full flower not more than the size of a 50c piece (old र 2 or ...no, you'll just have to sort it out yourselves). Taken with the 'Nik' on macro and 5x opt.zoom.

The colour of Love.
Thursday in Sanskrit is GuruvaasaraH - ruled by Jupiter. Here at Sandeepany Sadhanalaya we honour our Gurudev every Thursday with paduka puja - but this was extra special as it was the 50th anniversary of the foundation of the ashram. That's our current Head of Mission, Guruji Tejomayananda, waving the lamp plus as many swamis and brahmacharins as you could poke an agarbhatti stick at! Taken with the 'Nik' on auto.

Perhaps he's right - but there is joy to be had in the day to day if you let your heart play.
That's My Take! Another picture from the Sahyadri Hills on the Uniden.

Monday's Critters.
One of Australia's wonderful bugs. At the back of the skull plate and on part of the frontal carapace you can make out something of the iridescence that initially caught my eye. Then I saw its hairy 'underwear'! My, but there's a wonderful draughtsman somewhere... Taken with the Uniden on macro.

SUNday
The Mumbai air does it again. This is the naked truth. Absolutely no cover-up. Sunset from the Mandir Hill taken on the Uniden. Don't you think Sol looks just like a pearl, suspended in pink chiffon?
Saturday Symmetry
Have been trawling for some of the better piccies in my 'archives' - the Sydney Opera House 'sails' are mosaic tiles that are self-cleaning. I think they look like a lizard's skin. Taken with the Minolta digicam.
"By plucking her petals, you do not gather the beauty of the flower." (Rabindranath Tagore)
Does anyone know what this one is called?! Am usually on the ball with plants but this here's a mystery. Found it growing at Kolwan. Taken with the Uniden on macro mode.
