True To The Name

After a slow week with very few posts.. here I am back again with a bang.. This time, true to the name of the blog, here is something straight from the wild....what better than the national emblem of the United States, the Bald Eagle.

PPl here are very poor at a few things...
  • They can't count... counting 575$, given as 5 100's, 3 20's, a 10 and a 5 $ bill, is "impossible" for the most qualified and competent accountant here.
  • They simply don't know how simple the metric systems of units are... They use pounds, miles, gallons, acres, Fahrenheit. Thank god there is no such complex unit for time .. they would have used it for sure!
  • They cant name things properly... They call a game which is played only with the use of hands, head and shoulders... everything but the foot as "foot"ball. And no surprise, they call a beautiful bird, full of hair and feathers as "Bald" Eagle. You can see for urself.

Fauna Of The Wild West

Here is a small collection of the fauna of the wild west that I could capture in their natural habitat. This one was the toughest.. had to take atleast about 8 shots before getting this one!


A curious look... as though my camera was an AK-58 manufactured specially to aim at it.

Spain in western US..

Gubbachi :)

A cute lil squirrel posing for me...


This was the easiest one. The bird flew on to my window assuming it would get the entire strawberry cheese muffin for itself (which was btw the only source to keep my demanding tummy happy). I was about to get buckled up... I had to stop with the belt half way towards the buckle.. and quickly grab my camera.. forget about focusing and get this shot!
