ulsoor lake in spring

Ulsoor lake is at its best right now. I took these pics over the last two days.

lucky shot – a cormorant flew up just when I clicked!

Bangalore in March

Bangalore’s trees are starting to bloom, hiding the ugly wires and uglier billboards for the next few weeks. Purple Jacarandas, and pink and yellow Tabebuias are everywhere.  Some Copper pods too, and a few early Mayflowers. Yesterday I spotted a Flame-of-the-forest in full bloom, but couldn’t stop for a photo.
