You are right Scott, many times I find my meaningless pictures of aimed objects had some unidentified interesting objects find later or after joined Project Noah. What I learned with Project Noah..!!

I'll be posting other pictures from that walk. The number of unexpected things you spot when you get your camera home and really look at the photos is amazing...
Ashish
Thanks Scott for sharing information and experience..!!

There should be plenty of frogs but it's been so hot that the frogs have mostly retreated into the mud. These flowers are very fragrant, and even at midday I could smell their perfume coming off the water.

@Scott what is seen in first picture.. just curled leafs or Moorhen like bird..?
Ashish
@ Alice may be frogs in the water.. I can see a Green spider waiting for prey in second picture..True life there...!!
