Cherry blossoms in front of the Dalada Maligawa, Kandy, Sri Lanka.

The violet-pink cherry blossoms seen with a background of a blue sky, and the pink carpet of wilted flowers on the ground make a beautiful sight. This photo was taken in front of the Temple of the Tooth, Kandy, Sri Lanka a few days back by me.

A sqirrel collecting material for a nest, Avissawella, Sri Lanka.

Squirrels are a constant presence in our garden. This one with half its tail missing is a very aggressive character. She is seen carrying material to build her nest.

A garden Lizard preparing a nest for its eggs, Avissawella, Sri Lanka.

The female garden lizard selects a spot warmed by the sun, digs the soil and lays its eggs. It covers up the soil and goes away. The soft rubbery eggs hatch and the tiny lizards emerge and fend for themselves.
