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 302 - Aug 12 2011 <span style="color:yellow">Common Iora </span> Khem Vilas, Ranthambhore The Common Iora (Aegithina tiphia) is a small passerine bird found across the tropical Indian Subcontinent with populations showing plumage variations, some of which are designated as subspecies. A species found in scrub and forest, it is easily detected from its loud whistles and the bright colours. During the breeding season, males display by fluffing up their feathers and spiral in the air appearing like a green, black, yellow and white ball. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Iora <span style="color:cyan">More pictures at </span><br> http://hershy.smugmug.com/Travel/Ranthambhore/RT-June-2011/17444320_Qps9C3
  • 3rd year Pic 301 - Aug 11 2011 <span style="color:yellow">Ashy Prinia </span> Khem Vilas, Ranthambhore The Ashy Prinia or Ashy Wren-Warbler (Prinia socialis), is a small warbler. This prinia is a resident breeder in the Indian subcontinent, western Myanmar and Sri Lanka. It is a common bird in urban gardens and farmland in many parts of India and its small size, distinctive colours and upright tail make it easy to identify. The northern populations have a rufous rump and back and have a distinct breeding and non-breeding plumage while other populations lack such variation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashy_Prinia <span style="color:cyan">More pictures at </span><br> http://hershy.smugmug.com/Travel/Ranthambhore/RT-June-2011/17444320_Qps9C3

  • 3rd year Pic 297 - Aug 06 2011 <span style="color:yellow">Machete</span><br> Munnar After the boat ride on Kundala lake we stopped at a coconut vendor for coconut water. After a cooling drink, I noticed a photo op!! In tropical and subtropical countries, the machete is frequently used to cut through rain forest undergrowth and for agricultural purposes (e.g. cutting sugar cane). Besides this, in Latin America a common use is for such household tasks as cutting large foodstuffs into pieces—much as a cleaver is used—or to perform crude cutting tasks such as making simple wooden handles for other tools. It is also common to see people using machetes for other jobs such as splitting open coconuts, working the lawns, clearing brush. Because the machete is common in many tropical countries, it is often the weapon of choice for uprisings. For example, one clandestine popular army is the Boricua Popular Army, unofficially called Macheteros because the machete wielding laborers of sugar cane fields of past Puerto Rico. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machete

  • 3rd year Pic 295 - Aug 04 2011 <span style="color:yellow">Tea plantations </span><br> Munnar Munnar is one of the most popular hill-resort towns in Kerala in southern India. The name Munnar is believed to be derived from the Malayalam/Tamil words Munu (three) and aaru (river), referring to the town's strategic location at the confluence of the Muthirappuzha, Nallathanni and Kundaly rivers. Set at an altitude of 6000 ft in Idukki district, Munnar was the favored summer resort of the erstwhile British rulers in the colonial days. Unending expanse of tea plantations - pristine valleys and mountains- exotic species of flora and fauna in its wild sanctuaries and forests - aroma of spice scented cool air.
