A Pretty Bird from the Valley School Area, and a trunk…

This is the small minivet…

Whenever I hear the name, I confess that I have this irrepressible image of a very, very tiny animal doctor…”small” “mini” “vet”…

Yes, I *can* hear you groaning (all of you groan ups!)….

And to stop that, here’s another picture…That’s the beautiful pattern on the trunk of a Cycad, which Karthik informs me is an angiosperm, a very slow-growing plant. This one is a pretty (!) tall tree in Lalbagh…

Worthy of being abstract art…I thought of deepsan when I saw that!
