The world as it appears through my lens.

Pansy...... I wonder why it is described negatively in English literature. I find pansy a beautiful flower and i chanced upon this beautiful variety recently..... So different from the usual ones. After balsam this is becoming my favorite now 😁. #flowers #floral #flowersofinstagram #fabulous_shots #flowerstalking ##gardening ##macro_holic #macroclique #petals #pansy #orange #puneinstagrammers #igscflower #ig #ranuchakrabortyphotography (at Pune, Maharashtra) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpx1hifr2jP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Some scenes from my walks in landour. Sleepy winding lanes, dreamy skies, houses with slate roofs and glass doors, awesome ravines, sky touching pine trees and some slight visuals of the garhwal peaks. A few moments when life stops and you take a breath. You have nowhere to go in particular and no agendas on your list. Just the blue skies and these awesome landscapes..... A Comma in life !!! #soi #landour #mussoorie #india #skywatcher #skywatch #landscape #skyscape #doors #travel #journey #holidays#traveldiaries #travelphotography #ig #garhwal #uttrakhand #nature #mountains #hills #ranuchakrabortyphotography (at Landour Cantt.

Mussoorie views from lal tibba. It was a rather cloudy evening so we couldn't see the garhwal peaks clearly. They were barely visible from the telescope that day. But the view of the ravines and the feel of standing high up there with a cup of coffee....... Simply awesome!!! #mussoorie #uttrakhand #laltibba #landour #india #ig #traveldiaries #travel #travelphotography #nature # #ranuchakrabortyphotography https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpt6ADkoUa-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Met the beautiful ganges at haridwar as she gurgled giggled and danced through the awesome ghats of haridwar. She is beautiful and calming at the same time. I have seldom got these mixed feelings of peace happiness and love all at the same time all this just by watching her giggle away. Her ice cold waters are surprisingly warm to the soul. I have met her in other places..... But she is at her best here. #travel #haridwar #ganges #harikipauri #clock_tower #peaceful #beautiful (at Harki Pauri) https://www.instagram.com/p/Co-O_YwrcbF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Finally a glimpse of the snowcapped peaks of the beauty called himalayas. I couldn't take my eyes off it. #travel #himalayas #mussoorie #mountains #uttrakhand #garhwalhimalayas #ranuchakrabortyphotography #snow #beautiful #breathtaking (at Mussoorie) https://www.instagram.com/p/Co-HKTeLBzs/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This beauty is from the morning glory family.... It's name though is quite a mouthful.... Slender dwarf morning glory or botanic name evolvulus glomeratus. It's simply a beautiful blue little flower. Easy to grow.... Loves the sun. After all the pinks red and oranges a splash blue was a welcome change. Sometimes making a small little change makes the monotonousness a little more interesting...... So shake it up a little. #flowers #floral #floralfriday #fabulous_shots #flowerstagram #flowerphotography #flowerstagrammer #flower_from_my_garden #flowerstalking #flowersofinstagram #flowerfrommygarden #gardening #garden #loves_garden #macro #macro_holic #macrophotography #macroclique #petals #morningglory #evolvulusglomeratus #blue #puneinsta #pune #puneinstagrammers #pune_ig #igscflower #ig #ranuchakrabortyphotography (at Pune, Maharashtra) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnZXNM1LnxD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

White is the color of peace..... another bloom from the garden. I am more philosophical today than a gardener..... looking for answers to questions I am not able to frame. I witnessed another completion of the circle of life, and as usual, the futility of going through the whole circle and it's major milestones seems lost to me. We come, as we go. All we carry with us to the beyond are experiences and some profound interactions with the people we meet along in the journey..... Only to repeat this whole cycle all over again. Honestly..... It seems exhausting and so futile. Yet we again wake up in the morning, looking forward to yet another day. Which only puts us back in this unending treadmill of life not reaching anywhere in particular just moving on and on. #flowers #floral #floralfriday #fabulous_shots #flowerstagram #flowerphotography #flowerstagrammer #flower_from_my_garden #flowerstalking #flowersofinstagram #flowerfrommygarden #gardening #garden #loves_garden #macro #macro_holic #macrophotography #macroclique #petals #rose #white #puneinsta #pune #puneinstagrammers #pune_ig #igscflower #ig #ranuchakrabortyphotography (at Pune, Maharashtra) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmyYtwRrRXl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

And then there is the humble jasmine. They keep me smiling. I have been trimming them on a regular basis and it's now growing into a lovely bush. #flowers #floral #floralfriday #fabulous_shots #flowerstagram #flowerphotography #flowerstagrammer #flower_from_my_garden #flowerstalking #flowersofinstagram #flowerfrommygarden #gardening #garden #loves_garden #macro #macro_holic #macrophotography #macroclique #petals #jasmine #white #puneinsta #pune #puneinstagrammers #pune_ig #igscflower #ig #ranuchakrabortyphotography (at Pune, Maharashtra) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmQ5h-prhAS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Another pink beauty which is going haywire is this lovely plant with white and pink tones. The baby pink is very subtle and lovely. No guesses who chose it..... My pretty pink loving daughter again. My garden already looks entirely pink 😃. It's crazy to think my garden which previously had more reds than any color is slowly getting pinker by the day 🤣🤣🤣🤣. #flowers #floral #floralfriday #fabulous_shots #flowerstagram #flowerphotography #flowerstagrammer #flower_from_my_garden #flowerstalking #flowersofinstagram #flowerfrommygarden #gardening #garden #loves_garden #macro #macro_holic #macrophotography #macroclique #petals #morningglory #pink #rose #puneinsta #pune #puneinstagrammers #pune_ig #igscflower #ig #ranuchakrabortyphotography (at Pune, Maharashtra) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmNjG3QpV0-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

New addition to the garden are these lovely little pink hibiscus. They are quite tiny but look awesome. Chosen by my little daughter they are just like her cute and pretty and her favorite color too. #flowers #floral #floralfriday #fabulous_shots #flowerstagram #flowerphotography #flowerstagrammer #flower_from_my_garden #flowerstalking #flowersofinstagram #flowerfrommygarden #gardening #garden #loves_garden #macro #macro_holic #macrophotography #macroclique #petals #hibiscus #pink #puneinsta #pune #puneinstagrammers #pune_ig #igscflower #ig #ranuchakrabortyphotography (at Pune, Maharashtra) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmL3iS5r-ca/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The May queen has finally arrived. This year she was late by 15 days. Then they all started blooming at once.... Four of them together. Football ball lily...... biological name: scadoxus multiforus (such a mouthful).... is by far the queen of my garden. She usually makes an appearance on the first of May every year and blooms till the month end. Rest of the year is sleep time for her..... Only a queen can get away with this kind of a schedule. Grows via bulbs..... This has been passed down to me by my dad along with other lily bulbs. Very easy to grow needs nothing except some water at the right time of the year. Best plant for garden beginners. I honestly dunno anything that is this easy. And she is so pretty ❤❤❤ #flowersofinstagram #flower_magic #flowers #flowerstalker #flowerstalking #flowerstagram #flowersphotography #flower_from_my_garden #ranuchakrabortyphotography #gardening #garden #loves_garden #nature #naturephotography #naturephotographer #pune #pune_ig #macrophotography #macro_holic #macro #macro_brilliance #instaflowers #ig #igers #footballlily #red #puneinstagrammers #fabulous #beautiful #instapic (at Pune, Maharashtra) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeGVOf3rZE9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Another beauty which is responding very well to the pruning are the roses. It is not a surprise because roses normally flower better if pruned regularly. For some reason I had put the pruning aside and was so intent on making my balcony a jungle that I had forgotten what it takes. My plants seem so relieved with this massive cleaning that I feel guilty to not have done it earlier. Inspite of all this I still have the beginnings of a jungle and also my beautiful flowers all blooming Life lesson: Facing issues head-on usually helps. Carpets only help if they are magical and they can fly. #flowersofinstagram #flowers #flowerstalker #flowerstagram #flowersphotography #flower_from_my_garden #ranuchakrabortyphotography #flower_magic #gardening #garden #loves_garden #nature #naturephotography #pune #pune_ig #macrophotography #macro_holic #macro #macro_brilliance #ig #igers #rose #red #puneinstagrammers #fabulous #beautiful #instapic #instaflowers (at Pune City) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeDQVfPM4-2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I have this crazy looking mogra variety which is huge and smells awesome. In fact if I keep a couple of them in the room the fragrant stays all day and the fragrant is powerful enough that no one misses it. Strangely this year because of the summer heat most of the plants had almost given up. I had to ruthlessly prune most of the plants and tried simple tea leaves as a manure.... And voila they all got super fresh and started blooming. I think the key was the pruning. This mogra plant which has been with me for years now gave me max two to three flowers per season is full abloom. I have had more than ten flowers already and many more buds coming up. Who knew a simple pruning could be so effective. Life lesson: Sometimes cutting off unnecessary things from your life can make your life more beautiful and growing that much easy. Look for the obvious: we normally tend to overlook the obvious things staring right at our faces and try to complicate our lives with looking beyond and trying out unnecessary stuff. #flower_in_my_garden #gardening #flowers #flowersofinstagram #flowerstagram #flowersphotography #flowerstalking #flowerstalker #pune #ig #puneinstagrammers #ranuchakrabortyphotography #mogra #white #nature #naturephotography #photography #instapic #instaflower #garden (at Pune, Maharashtra) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeAppecsaB0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
