dance with peacock

In all pristine glory he is ready to dance for her, too woo her. He is all decked up as there is competition. Not a feather without preening as she is going to select.Nature has her strange reasons to make males rather beautiful in animal kingdom. Female species are not that attractive but mostly in position to choose.Once again I have chosen him (earlier as simplest mor), now as most fabulous peacock. He is my favourite craft-bird.See how all over the world (mainly in public places) this bird is loved in mosaic magic. Let’s start the peacock dance now…..peasongsupon-sea1.gif  exmsftcom.jpg     Mor chowk, Udaipur, Rajasthan, India. Via songsuponsea

outdoor nook

This outdoor corner from marie claire maison is perfect. But this nook is for my husband. In the rains he wants to sit in the balcony or outside to enjoy drizzle falling from shade making angles.

The 1st image is a glass object from marie claire maison. I see it as a gorgeous pillow.

2nd image is floating flowers via Rang Decor (Arch has many more wonderful ideas). A water feature I needed  to relate with rains.

3rd image of books is a must as he cannot be separatd from his books.

Enchanted we walk

Fruit and shoes in hand

Comforts all along

Life is a joker

Still walk goes on and on.
