Random shot from India, 2019. I was just thinking about the place today since its being ravaged by covid. Only a matter of time before it happened I guess with the population density and limited access to sanitation.
Covid ruins everything.

Wow. What a great pic. Are we looking at a painting in a frame or out of a window? It's hard to tell.

Cheers Chuck. It's looking through a doorway through another doorway, then the lady is in a third doorway beyond. It lent itself pretty well to the composition.
The place is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orchha_Fort_complex
India is a fascinating but challenging place to explore.

Well I've seen far busier graphics for pedals, but it's your (great) pic and I totally understand if you prefer a cleaner look to your pedals.

This Epicactus is just getting started. It was rescued from the trash a few years back and has rewarded me every Spring with a flush of flowers. This flower is about 15cm across.

Tonight's dinner: Chicken Cacciatore. Home made marinara, fresh basil, Swiss & Parmesan on top. Served with rigatoni & a whiskey sour.
In Northern VA, DC metropolitan area, the warming weather is welcoming Brood X of the cicadas. This is the largest of the cyclical hatchings, and takes place every 17 years (which is why it seems like Brood XVII would make more sense). The last three days are the start of about a 3 week period where the noise from the cicadas during the daytime sound like phasers set on stun.
The cicadas emerge from the warm ground and shed their skin to become winged. Creepy but it mostly triggers a feeding frenzy for the birds, squirrels, and household pets.

The snakes love them. I have a LOT of trees on the property and a LOT of critters. I have to watch for snakes in overhanging trees this time of year, as they climb to feast.
Our back porch is a cafe for all manner of varmint. Dogs, cats, Pico the opossum, Freddy the Raccoon, a yet unnamed groundhog, Whitey the skunk, several squirrel, etc. In the wooded area we have deer, fox, rabbit, snakes, chipmunks, a hawk's nest, and who knows what else. We have heard coyotes barking but haven't actually seen one.
Falls Church! How's your cicada invasion coming?

It's not too bad yet in our neighborhood, but I did see a bunch of them all around town, especially in my cousin's huge yard. Crazy!
I think I know what else!
Well, in North Carolina way back in the hills
Me and my old pappy and he had him a still
He brewed white lightnin 'til the sun went down
Then he'd fill him up a jug and he'd pass it around
Mighty, mighty pleasin', my pappy's corn squeezin (whew, white lightnin)!
