My furry friends.

These furry friends kept me company on walking up, up, up the hills, and just sitting quietly by me whenever I sat on the verandah.  But of course the little pup never sat quietly.  But she loved with her whole self.

Pictures from my one week relaxed holiday in the hills

Blue, blue skies!

Visitors in the garden--

A pair of bulbuls were nesting in a hanging creeper with the red flowers( in the first picture).

A watching squirrel who came down to the grass later, to be chased by the bulbul as it ventured a little nearer the nest, though way down in the grass.

Cooler climes

I have been in Kodaikanal for a week, enjoying the pleasant weather after the heat of the hometown.  I will post pictures after I get back home, as the con of this place is that the internet is very slow.

Hot and Thirsty--pictures

A racket-tailed drongo

A tree pie

                                                        A thirsty ant, sitting on the pipe edge


There were around 3 drongos.  I saw the tree pie and a drongo drinking water together.  Then one of the drongos, dived into the bowl, not once but twice-.  I guess the tail was too long to sit in the bowl and bathe like the crows.
