325 - 5th - Sign of life

Originally clicked and uploaded by - Pratosh Dwivedi - 5th Nov'08

The area was completely barren with no signs of life whatsoever. Dry ground, dead grass, dead pices of wood lying around; all in all a total barren piece of land. So it was quite surprising to find as fresh a form of life as this couple of leaves sprouting out from nowhere. They were completely in contrast with their surroundings and gave an impression as if someone has just plucked them from a tree and, dug a hole and put them in it.

Nature has countless surprises in store for those who are willing to explore.

323 - 3rd - The fluorescent mushroom

Originally clicked and uploaded by - Pratosh Dwivedi - 3rd Nov'08

I was biking through the dense vegetation at the Archeological ruins in Cobe when I noticed these green mushrooms sprouting out of dead damp wood on the ground. I came back and observed the tiny things for quite some time before I clicked some photos.

Their bright green color, grainy texture and round little shape made them look really catchy to the eye. I could see only a couple of them in the entire area. Maybe it's a rare species which I caught in my camera ;)
