Aviary

On our way back, we stopped at Mysore to visit India's largest walk-through aviary. Various birds and small animals had a free run of the place, and they calmly strutted around, not caring two hoots about the many human feet walking around. It sure was a refreshing change to see our less privileged friends not confined to claustrophobia-inducing cages! Karanji lake also affords opportunities to go boating, with the aim of spotting various migratory birds. Ibises and cormorants were aplenty! The entire place spans a massive area, and we walked all around the lake, spotting many birds, butterflies and insects, in the bargain!

Wow. Wow, wow, wow. That's all I can think of as I look at these beautiful photos. The water, the tree, the peacock, and I LOVE the turtle!

Wow. Gorgeous.
