Welcome 2010 , Good bye 2009

Golden deer

This picture looked so good, serene and appealing to me that I couldn't resist to try painting once again.

A golden deer plays an important role in Hinduism(the epic Ramayana) . While in exile in the forest, Rama's wife Sita sees a golden deer and asks Rama and Lakshmana to get it for her. The deer is actually a rakshasa called Maricha in disguise. Maricha takes this form to lure Rama and Lakshmana away from Sita so his nephew Ravana can kidnap her.

In Hindu mythology, the goddess Saraswati takes the form of a red deer called Rohit according to the Aitareya Upanishad. Saraswati is the goddess of learning so learned men use deer skin as clothing and mats to sit upon.

Deer hunting is the activity or sport of pursuing deer since ages, and its done in many countries. Please do not kill an animal for fun or pleasure.Life is precious.

Its Party Time......

Penguins

Penguins are living flightless birds found mostly in Antartica.I recently watched a documentary ( by NGC) on these birds I found it so touching, these birds faces difficulty from nature in every step of its life, day after day and still try to maintain its population so well. It was really appreciable where penguins follow one after the other guided by an emporer penguin. It really amazed me by the fact where the location they live is itself too difficult to imagine.The way the couple exchange they role in protecting their egg from natures play, they starve for months to safe-guard the embryo from different climatic conditions, and eat in turns after long gaps to survive.What a tough life.......really!!!

It was really a nice documentary "MARCH of the PENGUINS" thanks to the people who made it .

Pine-apple plant

I wonder how many of us have seen a pine- apple plant. God I was really lucky to see them in a local park in Brisbane, not that it is very rare but we dont exactly know the locations to find one.I was so thrilled and amazed may be if u are one in those who admire nature and love gardening I am sure you will enjoy these clicks.

Cockatoo

We met this cute bird at the local koala sanctuary and it speaks so well. I was really thrilled and thanked Sriram for spotting it.

Simhghad, Pune

This is inspired by a photo taken by Sriram when he visited this place. This is one of his favourite snaps and i thought even i will try to impress him... :)

Its Spring time...

Its really tough for me to write on for every pic that I post.I'm a very bad writer and u all must be knowing it by now.Still let me try to frame some words to this painting that i have drawn on a cool, winter evening and named it "Spring".I have seen a pianting and tried to do one.Hope I didnt mess-up.

The best of clicks ever happened till date-India's pride posing for a snap

These are some of my most cherished shots. None of the peacocks I met in India ever gave me such a nice pose. This one at the Koala Sanctuary here in Brisbane might be showing some happiness at seeing a fellow Indian...

Kangaroo

Want to see Kangaroo,then come to Australia!!!! You wont find them anywhere else in the world.

Flowers

Flowers are always refreshing to look at . This was painted without any sketch to start with, just splashed my choice of colors and played around with them.

"Mickey" is my all- time favourite cartoon.Seeing Brisbane wet with rains my thoughts made me to draw and color a pic like this :)

Magnolia

I have been to a park named Roma Parklands in Brisbane where I got to see a rare flower called Magnolia, named after a French botanist Pierre Magnol.It belongs to the Family:Magnoliaceae.They are found as ornamental trees.The petals of the flower are so tough and its fragnances was too good.

Hanuman

This was my dream!!!!! to ever complete a sketch of Lord Hanuman( like this) and I made one.I strongly believe in myself and so in the god .I got this pic on internet accidentally while browsing which helped to do so. This pic is truely dedicated to my mother. She will be very happy to see this.
