I probably won’t make it to this year’s Republic Day Flower Show at LalBagh Botanical Gardens, but I’ll post a couple of pics from last year’s show.

The other day I posted a winter photo from Budapest to psyche myself up to experience winter for the first time in a while. Now I’m going the other route. As I pack to travel to a place with winter, I’m posting some of the flowers currently blooming in Cubbon Park.

I just got back from attending Dasara (a.k.a. Dussehra or Vijayadashami) festivities in Mysore. Dasara celebrates Rama’s victory over Ravana, as well as Durga’s defeat of Mahishasur. There was a flower show about a block from the palace, and this gazebo was the centerpiece. The bottom pick was part of the floor of the gazebo.

My apologies for not posting in several days, I’ve been out getting some new photos from new places. Specifically, I’ve been in Kerala. Here is the first of several DAILY PHOTOs from Kerala. This one was taken from a houseboat on the Backwaters.
