Monsoon is here. Birds Love It.

The mist is rolling in, the trees are beginning to sprout ferns, the bugs are out as are the birds as usual.

My view of life in the Himalaya and everything below. The landscape is never the same on any two days and I'd like to share the uniqueness, all the quirks, and surprises the mountains send out to me. Bird and animal behaviour, people and culture; I capture it all through writing podcasting and photography. Contact me at earthymatters013@gmail.com

Chingoo

Chingoo has a great trust in humanity except, for the delivery guys. [For which he can be forgiven.] He used to take it upon himself to escort dog-friendly folk to their homes or on their walks. He learnt his lesson the hard way. He returned home one day, brutalised, the bone on his leg showing through the wound and two front teeth missing. Betrayed and all shook up, he wouldn’t leave my side for days. He became rather quiet. It took him a while to get over his fear of people. That’s when I decided ‘absolute’ freedom might not be such a great scheme in the long run.
