Himalayas - 539

There was ... this
mating pair of
lovely ... small
Hill Hedge Blue
butterflies ...

... lost in the
process of their
own chemistry ...
heavy and handicapped

... and there was
this pair of stylish
Laughingthrushes ...
involved in their own
pre mating dance
calls ... and ritual
of male offering
a gift of food to the
female ...

The male Lt. found
this gift handy ... in
Nature's mega mart ...
halting the little ones
prematurely ...
... blame Darwin

Watch part of this
action in a video-clip
... the last on this
species at BFTv ... before
upload to the site
went off ...

Oh that's wonderful news about your brother Alok - you must be so relieved. I think getting Glenys to add her prayers must have helped!

That's an excellent picture you've taken of this laughingthrush my friend. Many thanks for showing him to us.
