Vine Snakes are very hard to find inside rain forest specially at night. One Evening at Amboli, Maharashtra, after a long search with some torch lights, I saw this one behind a big leaf. Inside the heavy rain somehow I clicked the moment keeping one torch from backside to get the rain effects.

Love to travel and keep the moments of Nature forever through Lens.On every holiday or vacation I excuse myself to voyages, safaris, treks or even a walk through the deepest neck of the woods and soak in the true taste of nature.

The Vernal Hanging Parrots - the only real 'parrot' found in India - appear as if out of nowhere at farms near Pune as soon as the Sorghum kernels are ripe enough for them. It is a beautiful sight to watch these tiny green, red and blue birds flit from one plant to another. The green background of trees outside the farm and the blurred brown of the Sorghum kernels makes an interesting backdrop for this click.
