Equinox sunset and sunrise

We are at fag of end of this year's monsoon season. The ground will turn golden as rains taper down. As of now the heat is intense and Rh is unbearable and perhaps that's what keeping rains alive. Nowadays the rains are restricted to only night show. Soon they will become rarity until next monsoon season.

The only menace in village are these stray dogs. These unvaccinated dogs can be extremely dangerous!

The green tree can be blessed by colourful sunset and tiny swamp beneath. In your life, even if you are ordinary, your surroundings can make you extraordinary

Morning sunrise was gloomy.

When you are unique, even camera lens becomes your focal point. This grass shoot was bright amidst dull ones.

The shy thorn was smiling after holding raindrops all overnight.

The cattle has umpteen to graze until monsoon fades away. The bird on cattle was suspicious of my movements even though that area was inaccessible to me. We are like this bird frantically worrying about future than living in present.

The reflection of clouds and sun. Only possible during heavy rains

The beautiful village, lush green, clean air, less noise, which I miss in city

The black crowned night heron was hunting at nearby channel. I miss my DSLR at heart :-(

This year's rains have been excess. Difficult for farming community. Few farmers tried second time and their harvest is upcoming. Hope rains don't bother during harvest time

This dead leaf was dangling, unable to ground as it was still held by spider web

Yet another dead leaf was lucky to full on the floor but will be stomped by ongoing vehicles.

There is still chance of rains looking at western horizon. As per MET department, the monsoon can prolong till Oct 5

Spotting Spotted Dove

Erratic weather is resulting in endless discomfort amongst city dwellers. The low pressure along south-east bay is triggering cold winds towards city with gloomy sky. We struggled lot for few days due to wintry weather. Almost 4 days went by and finally we have yet another blazing day. City also witnessed light drizzle which could have boosted AQI as well. I went up to the terrace to get sunbath for 30 mins. Doctor suggested us to expose to sun to avoid frequent infection. The Sun seemed to be energetic and bit burning. It was pleasant to be under the Sun for a while despite being harsh.

While strolling randomly over terrace, I bumped into this spotted dove quietly perched on terrace wall. I moved towards the Bird cautiously and it didn't seemed to move. I assumed that the Bird was unhealthy and unable to fly from initial glance. But later figured out, it was hale & hearty. I am unsure if it's coincidence or god sent. Since the bird flew after my photo session, I am stitious on latter assumption 😁. The bird confidently stayed still till I was done with photoshoot.

Perhaps god wanted to alleviate my sadness by blessing a phone opportunity to capture bird since I keep cribbing about dead camera. Looks to be juvenile bird and might be resting after long flight. Once bird flew post it's drying session, I stayed for few more minutes before moving to the house
