Season - 53

Season - 53 (Ciconia episcopus)

The Season - 53

... Usually a black
and white bird outside
the Season ... and on
a cursory look ...

... Come season and
those subtle shades
just sprout ... in
different hues and
iridescence ...

This image
was captured
when Sun ...
had already
touched the western
horizon ...
though not
gone down
completely yet ...
just giving
enough luminescence
and lux to glimpse
the glory of this
wonderful Stork ...

... foraging in an
inundated field ...
visible from the
National Highway on
our way to Bharatpur ...

... one can get the
feel of the highway
... the habitat and
the bird ... in a small
video-clip ...
