Ra.. Ra.. Ranthambore

“Some of the animals I met in Ranthambore. If only real tigers could be lured by tuna sandwiches..”

+Peacock at Dawn

+Dear and Dearest

+Inexplicable bounty of deer skulls, found outside the forest tea-stop.

+Tiny Black Bird

+We sneaked into the forest from a forbidden gate.
These frozen beauties amidst the dappled sunlight
were so alluring. Leopard-tiger encounter be damed. 

+Good Morning Sunshine

+Marabou stork.. nightmare? Couldn’t help the Irvine Welsh free association. What happened to him anyway?

+Mr. Ajay Nilgai

+A forest warden on his usual beat all he had to protect himself from a possible tiger was that wooden stick. Respect. 

+Preen

+Dawn at lake.. like Eden, untouched.

+Anxious Bambi

+Entangled antlers

+Unamused Langur

+And so I never met the tiger but I did end the day with.. Hosho! The loveliest part of my forest adventure.
