Trust Comes Easy
This cute little creature was sunbathing at the beach, and yes he was alone (not uncommon in India). We became friends in a matter of seconds really. He wasn’t too comfortable posing, but yes I did manage a few good shots. And I am quite happy with the results. Who says trust doesn’t come easy?

Miniatures
I know, this does not look like a miniature shot, but I’d like to believe it does. It hasn’t been through any image manipulation software, but has been shot from a distance. I like this shot, do let me know what you think too!
|| Om Ganeshaya Namaha ||
Let us ring in the New Year with some divine blessings. Lord Ganesha is said to be vignaharta, remover of obstacles. A five headed Ganesha idol is very rare to find, and I thought I’d share it with you too. Hope you have a blessed year ahead!
