Miscillaneous Musings

I saw this  cute and beautiful dove near my house.

Love This Dove

I ran out to see the cooing noises and saw this bird... I think it is a cuckoo

Cute ..... Cuckoo

When I went on a morning walk one pleasant morning I saw this cute squirrel eating acorns on a tree branch and scampered when it saw me. 

 

Squeaky..... Squirrel

BUBBLY . . . BLUE BONNETS

BUBBLY.....BLUE BONNETS

WHEN THEY SPRING.....

They Dance Gracefully

To the Breeze

They Listen Blissfully

To the Bees

They shine brightly

In the Sun

They sleep Silently

In the Moon

AND WHEN THEY SPRING.....

They BRING SPRING

THE FOUR SEASONS

Kabini .....Never Disappoints

Summer of May 2019 I visited the Kabini WildLife Sanctuary, Karnataka, India. The roads leading to Kabini are lined up with beautiful Gulmohar (May flower) trees on both sides. 

I enjoyed both the Jeep and Boat safari's at Kabini which is a must visit for all wildlife photographers.

Story behind my name

Hi Friends

My name "Mayukha" is a 3 syllable word pronounced as ma-yu-kha with origin in the Sanskrit language that means "Ray of Light"  OR "Brightness". My mother wanted a traditional name full of positive vibration and yet one that is unique and rare. After researching hundred's of names they finally selected this.

There is also another special reason why my parents chose this name. Both my mom and dad are readers and admirers of good literature, both in English and my mother tongue "Telugu". This name is referenced in one of their favorite songs written by one of their favorite poet/lyricist Sirivennela Seetarama sastry from the movie 'Sirivennela' (1986).

The link to that song that inspired my parents to name me is given below

With my parents help am translating few lines where my name appears in the song.

"On the flute of Eastern side and on the strings of morning sun...
becoming the sounds of woken up birds on the stage of blue skies..
when the rythm of that spelt twitter sound has become the initiator of world..
By making it the holy message of universal act"

Like the reference to nature, sun, birds in the above song I am a huge lover of anything and everything related to nature - Trees, birds, plants, sun, rainbow, stars, waterfalls. My blog will focus on pictures, notes, videos taken during my trips celebrating nature.

This is my first blog experience so keep pouring in your views for improvement.
