A Peacock in Jaipur - February 23, 2013


The peacock is the national bird of India.  At night, they nested in the trees 
outside my Jaipur guest house, emitting their plaintive cries.  I seldom was 
able to get a photograph of one - and never when one was dancing.  I 
almost didn't see this one.  It was so well camouflaged by the trees.




I am participating in



and

this theme this week is green.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Today the world is Irish,
Or so it seems to me,
Everyone is wearing green,
From Mumbai to Galilee.

In honor of St. Patrick’s Day,
It’s a mighty festive bunch,
Eating corned beef and cabbage,
Instead of their usual lunch!

Parades are seen all over,
Irish melodies fill the air,
Pints of Guiness toast,
Lads and lassies fair!

Florists are selling shamrocks,
Fountains and rivers are green,
Sure and begorrah, you’ll be spotting,
Some sights you’ve never seen!

So dance an Irish jig or two,
And sing of Galway Bay,
And have yourself a special time,
On this St. Paddy’s Day!
