Himalayas - 412 (Lophura leucomelanos)

Himalayas - 412

The Forest edge ...

It was late ... post
afternoon and we
were latched on
to some butterfly
bonanza ...
... after
a sumptuous lunch
at the heritage resort
... located at
the forest edge ...

... and this stunning
pair ... crept on
to the low boundary wall
... ever so
stealthily ... without
a blur ... or slightest
slur ...

It was purely
co-incidental ... that
they slipped into
our field of vision ...

Watch these wonderful
natives of Himalayas
in a video-clip ...
