Birds! The very sight of these wonders of nature brings smile to our lips and fills us with happiness.

Few activities enlighten our souls from within. Photography is food for my soul. I devote nearly an hour or more in this activity almost everyday.

Everyone will agree to my point that Nature in her colorful attire is feast for the eyes. I derive happiness from Nature all around, in her wildlife, flora, fauna, landscape, and more.
