BEAUTY OF THE BEE EATERS

Birds inspire poets… Keats had his nightingale, Poe his raven. Every time I chance upon the bee eater I am enthralled by its flamboyant beauty. Here are some glimpses of it from my recent forays into the Western Ghats…

And a few (amateurish!) versesJ

They soar
Like rainbows in flight
My eyes
And my lenses
Try in vain
To capture
Their colorful calligraphy
On wings
A sight so serene
Beyond sight

Loved the line, 'Their colourful calligraphy'.... lovely to seeimages and the words :D. Why don't you insert the HTML code for the images and then readers can see the actual image instead of the code?
