Butterflies in Lodi Garden

An article a few days back in the national daily, The Times of India inspired to wake up early this Sunday morning and head to the Lodi Gardens. The beautiful winged insects, squirrels, red trees, people exercising and cobwebs ensured that I clicked only  a few frames of the monuments.

 

Click walk at Lodi Gardens

I went for a click walk, after a long gap, last week. We went to Lodi Gardens. The slight nip in the air, the beautiful flowers, and nice blue skies welcomed my camera and me with a warmth that is hard to describe. I had a great time working with these photographs. I hope you like them as well.

Hungry

You will find red earthen bowls like these at lots of places across Delhi, outside homes, in parks, on the road dividers, outside offices, etc. A lot of people believe in leaving water and bajra (pearl millet) seeds in these pots for birds and rodents like squirrels. I found this brave little squirrel who was so determined to get to the food that she ignored my presence to reach for what was hers.

Little bites

This squirrel, which I spotted at the Lodi Garden, was a professional model and did not let a photographer's enthusiasm disrupt its eating ritual. In fact it remained in the perfect pose for enough time for me to click it.

This is the first time that I managed to click a close-up of an animal other than that of my pet dog--Ross. I hope you all like it.
