Bats in eucalyptus

A recent colony set up by fruit bats aka flying foxes, high up in a stand of eucalyptus trees along the roadside. In the morning you can hear their chattering and squabbling.

Mushrooming beauties

A monsoon walk pays rich dividends in terms of spotting a variety of fungi. Here are some, found in Pune city:

Tabebuiea

Came across this pink tabebuiea in full flower on a street side. Sometimes you just want to look at a tree, a flower, a spider's web, an insect, without wanting to know its name. Watching its intricate structure, the delicate layers of colors unfolding as you get drawn into its world is reward enough. 

This particular tree looked like it was wearing its joy on its branches.
