Daily Photos 2nd year

At the Daily Gallery one picture, preferably taken that day; is shared with others. While that is difficult to follow (shooting everyday) I have been putting up a picture everyday and this is my SECOND year. It's been an enjoyable time viewing pictures of other members and learning new techniques and customs from different places. I think this is the best way to travel to places while sitting at home, and also making friends on the way! It has been a pleasure sharing my pictures and I thank all of you for taking the time to comment on my pictures. Earlier galleries: First year - Critiques welcome!

Saw these lovely birds at a nursery when we went to Anand for a weekend. They were quite high up and I had only my 24-85mm lens with me! Missed a longer lens!

anandINDIndiaMadhuban Resort and Spa

  • Conference hall entrance <br /> 20 Feb 10<br /> <br /> On my last trip to Ahmedabad we went to this Madhubhan Resort & Spa for a weekend. Covering 650,000 sq.ft. it is situated outside Anand, Gujarat. By road Anand is 1.5 hours from Ahmedabad and 45 minutes from Baroda. Designed in a unique and beautiful blend of Balinese and Ahmdabadi (Pol) style it's a luxurious place to spend a weekend offering many recreational facilities and a spa.<br /> <br /> more pics: <a href="http://hershy.smugmug.com/Travel/Madhuban/11140376_Zj9tM#784587320_pspWo">http://hershy.smugmug.com/Travel/Madhuban/11140376_Zj9tM#784587320_pspWo</a><br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.madhubhanresortandspa.com/index.php">http://www.madhubhanresortandspa.com/index.php</a><br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>
  • Chinkara (Gazella bennettii) <br /> <br /> It is a shy animal and avoids human habitation. It can go without water for long periods and can get sufficient fluids from plants and dew. Although most individuals are seen alone, they can sometimes be spotted in groups of up to four animals.<br /> <br /> Shot at Ranthambhore national park <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranthambhore_National_Park">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranthambhore_National_Park</a><br /> <br /> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinkara">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinkara</a><br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.tigerwatch.net/">http://www.tigerwatch.net/</a><br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>
  • Sloth bear <br /> Shot at Ranthambhore national park <br /> <br /> The Sloth Bear (Melursus ursinus), also known as the Labiated Bear, is an arboreal, nocturnal and insectivorous species of bear restricted to the Indian subcontinent.<br /> <br /> They are basically shy and therefore difficult to spot but can be ferocious when disturbed. We were lucky to find this one crossing the road and then rummaging in the bushes for food (ants, termites, fruits, plant matter). <br /> <br /> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranthambhore_National_Park">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranthambhore_National_Park</a> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.tigerwatch.net/">http://www.tigerwatch.net/</a> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sloth_bear">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sloth_bear</a> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>
  • Rufous Treepie<br /> No PP. <br /> This is another shot of the same bird. They are quite bold and this one came and sat on the windshield of our convertible Gypsy (like a Jeep) hoping to be fed! <br /> <br /> Shot at Ranthambhore national park <br /> <br /> The Rufous Treepie (Dendrocitta vagabunda) is an Asian treepie, a member of the Corvidae (crow) family. It is long tailed and has loud musical calls making it very conspicuous. It is found commonly in open scrub, agricultural areas, forests as well as urban gardens. Like other corvids it is very adaptable, omnivorous and opportunistic in feeding.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranthambhore_National_Park">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranthambhore_National_Park</a><br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.tigerwatch.net/">http://www.tigerwatch.net/</a><br /> <br /> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rufous_Treepie">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rufous_Treepie</a><br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.javeri.net">http://www.javeri.net</a>

  • Hispano Suiza, France, 1927 (Alwar)<br /> <br /> BEST SEEN IN XLARGE size.

  • Entrance (Pic 365 2nd year - 4 Feb 2010)<br /> <br /> Have been extremely busy with work and travel and apologise for not commenting on pictures. Going to Ranthambhore tomorrow (5th Feb).
