Daily photos 3rd 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 THIRD 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 - Second year - Critiques welcome!

3rd year Pic 265 - Jun 29 2011
Dry cleaning!
Indian Cormorant (Phalacrocorax fuscicollis) at Khem Vilas
After coming out of the water (yesterday's pic) the Cormorant was drying itself in the sun.
Cormorants and shags are medium-to-large seabirds. They are fish-eaters, dining on small eels, fish, and even water snakes. After fishing, cormorants go ashore, and are frequently seen holding their wings out in the sun. All cormorants have preen gland secretions that are used ostensibly to keep the feathers waterproof.

<span style="color:yellow">Gray langurs</span> <br> Khem Vilas, Ranthambhore
Gray langurs are large and fairly terrestrial, inhabiting forest, open lightly wooded habitats, and urban areas on the Indian subcontinent. Langurs mostly walk quadrupedally and spend half their time on and the ground and the other half in the trees.[7] They will also make bipedal hops, climbing and descending supports with the body upright, and leaps. Langurs can leap 3.7-4.6 m (12.0-15.0 ft) horizontally and 10.7-12.2 m (35-40 ft) in descending.

Khem Vilas: At Ranthambhore, we stayed at Khem Vilas, a beautiful jungle camp with three types of accommodations nestled in open grasslands with small water bodies, spread over an area of 10 acres. <br>
