Bougainvillea bloomed in neighborhood
During
an evening walk other day I capture these pretty Bougainvillea glabra turning
the quiet road of this into very pleasant in the presence of these blooms,
making way outside the compound of a school campus in neighborhood. Sometime I used to take my iPhone when going
for walk in evening to capture anything interesting I come across and if it is
within our area or streets I just keep away this little weight from the pocket.
The pictures were bit edited with Photoshop to bring out some rich colors and
neat look.
Bougainvillea
glabra, the lesser bougainvillea or paperflower, is the most common species of
bougainvillea used for bonsai. glabra is heat and drought tolerant and frost
sensitive bougainvillea and it needs full sunlight, warm weather and well-drained
soil to flower well.

Rama Temple @ Palamathi Hills
While
the Bala Murugan Temple is coated in yellow, the white painted Rama Temple is
less than a km from the same on the Palamathi Hills near Vellore. Thought the temple look newly painted I
believe it should be an old temple but I couldn’t get any detail about the
temple from the net or anywhere else and I took shot of the temple mainly for
the hanuman statue that stood in front of the temple tower.
The
pictures where shot from the car while we slowed down or almost stopped for few
seconds as the road was empty, the temple was located at a curve so I could only focus on front (shot from iphone) and the second
one was captured in cam by mom from the side window. The statue also looks like newly
installed and the Hanuman is posed with one hand bearing the Sanjeevi hill (a
mountain with medicinal plants that lord hanuman is believed to bring to cure
Lakshman and Rama) and standing on a mound, which is nothing but a hundial – a
collection box used in Hindu temples.

RGB Monday
Vibrant
in colors
#RGB Monday stand's for my self made meme on Red Green Blue colors.
A
house painted in different shades of colors including red, green and blue, and
the picture was shot somewhere between Periyapalayam and Uthukottai, a border
town between Tamil Nadu and Andhra. That was the first time I travelled on this
stretch and I was on the road to Nagalapuram. From the look, colors and designs
on the face of the house make think the people living there should be more devotional…
because I have seen houses in villages with similar façade (but not this much colourful)
are religious minded.

Beetle Play
My
cousin picked up this green beetle from the woods (during our vacation at the woodhouse near Kodai) and I was scared when he put it on my wheelchair board. But
he told me it was lifeless so did I breathe, because I am always scared of insects
and that not mean I hate insects but I like watching and shooting from a
distance. He knows I like to shoot interesting subjects and as I had camera on
hand I immediately took a snap on the beetle to only see a little vibrate in
its legs but before we realize it was alive, it took off to fly! We were surprised
and he told it was on the ground, with all mud sticking on it made certain it
was dead and was like that until I took snap. I could still recollect the vibrate it creates
before taking off.
I
leave with another wild insect I captured from the same vacation and I have idea
about the species and it was lying on the dining table out at the woodhouse balcony.
