Nature Walk at IIMA

The nature club of IIMA, Prakriti, organized this year's first nature walk around the campus on July 27, 2008. It was great photo opportunity, fun, and learning too - now I know that every flying being is not a bird and that every green thing is not either tree or bush.

The pictures of nature are aplenty and before I post those here, I've to sort through and pick a few. But the natural beauty around was not the only photo-worthy thing. Here are a few examples:

This is the partial team
(Some had to leave due to classes on a pleasant Sunday morning - Thats IIMA)
We had:

Sincere Learners
Who were even ready to intrude
Curious Observers

Amused Onlookers

And some Cute Ones too

Budding...

बारिश में कागज़ के फूल

This was clicked in CISH, Kakori, Lucknow while I was waiting for some appointments. Nothing extraordinary but I liked the picture a lot - the lush green gardens getting even more beautiful in rains.
