Hopeful to see some tigers this morning after waking up before 5 AM (for those of us who were able to get to sleep in that hospital ward!).
A very very old banyan tree. This is one of the first things we saw. The hope was still alive that we'd see the promised tigers. The closest we got was fresh tracks and warnings from other species that (apparently) told us they were nearby. But the other group saw four tigers, so it's not a hoax!
Spotted deer. Judging by the striations in the rock and the roots in the banyan trees, I think generations of species have evolved to adapt really well to their surroundings. In wooded areas, it can be hard to spot the deer because they blend so well into the woods & understory.
Close-up of a monkey. I don't know what kind. He was just chillin'. There were so many monkeys there.
Emerald water at the park. There was also some beautiful striated rock.
The male peacock that wouldn't quit. He was trying to mate with four different ladies that just weren't feeling it.
During our tour of one of the villages. A typical house. One of the ladies was so hospitable, she garlanded us with jasmine as she welcomed us into her home.
The kids just line up in front of the camera! What they like is seeing the picture on the LCD, not just having their photo taken.
A biogas digester outside a village house. This is the smaller kind. This vessel is where you put the dung and where it gets mixed with water. Then the gas product travels through a pipe to stoves and other things that require energy.
Ranthambhore Sevika Hospital, from the outside. Also where we stayed while in town, in a vacant hospital ward, sweating out the night!
