Trying to understand the secret lives of bees. The Queen bee surrounded by her courtiers. Our first attempt at bee keeping.   

Early morning visitors - Gaur or Bison, wandering through the pruned tea bushes.

White tea brewed from tea leaves plucked from the tea bushes before they were pruned.

 Rusty metal bits.

Searching for Roy G Biv 2015 - Violet

I'm terribly late this month.
This picture is from my archives. A picture of a Chihulysque type glass chandelier.
Dale Chihuly creates magic with glass. I have a couple of his books and I got to view some of the magic at the Bellagio in Las Vegas.

Searching for Roy G Biv 2015 - Blue

Time for Roy G Biv this month has rolled around.

I've had to dive into my archives for some pictures and others were snapped with my phone in the last couple of days.

On the highway between Bangalore and Mysore which we travelled on frequently in the past three years.Small trucks transporting cows was a common sight.

Men drinking tea and reading the newspaper early in the morning at a small tea stall somewhere on the Bangalore Mysore highway.I took this picture for the moulded plastic chairs. These inexpensive, easy to maintain, stackable chairs are everywhere, I'm taking pictures of these chairs inorder to document the varied environments these chairs are found in. 

Flaking wall painted with the address of a store. 

Blue window frames of a building I pass on the road home.

Searching for Roy G Biv 2015 - Green

I'm late posting pictures for Roy this month.

Julie's reminder on Wednesday had me scrambling to see what I had.

Packing up and relocating lock stock and barrel means we've been eating out quite a bit and I've discovered a fair amount of green in the gallery on my phone.

So what do I have.  

 Great pizza place Onesta, which recently opened in the neighbourhood which I am going to miss

 I ordered the thin crust pesto and prawn pizza.

 Dahi vada garnished with curry leaves and coriander. Perfect for the hot summer.

 Some green in the menu at Cafe Terra.

My order of spinach, corn and cheese sandwich.

Join in the fun. The list below gives you the date when you need to post upto five photographs.
