A lovely mixed species picture Alok, many thanks.

Sad news indeed about the rise in the number of endangered species!

I'm sorry to hear about Renu's aunt too - I hope the journey goes well. It looks like she lived in a beautiful place.
 
Such a lovely and pieceful scene you have captured, Alok. I would love to see that valley and view those majestic peaks.
