Glass Half-full ... 7 (Pantoporia hordonia)

Glass Half-full ... 7

After ensuring that the
driving would not cause
any further damage to the
shoulder secured in an
improvised arm-chest
bandage ... we proceeded
towards the campsite ...
... about 125 Km still
deeper into the Shivalik
Himmalayas ...

To continue ...

______

... but before starting
the drive
we briefly re-visited the forest
and the site
of the fall, while pursuing
a lifer bird
Chestnut-headed Tesia ...
( ... no image to show, albeit )

... and there we found
this amazingly beautiful
BF ... with most
vibrant and saturated
colors of the wonderful
prevailing season ... and
Batman-silhouette pattern ...

Watch this beauty in
a small video-clip ...

A lovely butterfly close-up. Your adventure trips are rally impressive. The Himalayas, camp site and many other words are far beyond my daily excursion/experiences here.

LOL ... Batman indeed!!!

This is such a beautiful butterfly Alok. Very nicely taken too - well done my friend.

I'm so glad you managed to drive with your poorly arm.
