Next we have this pretty pic shot by Prince Ravat in Mahableshwar's in Mapro Garden. Don't the dew drops hanging off the leaf look like glistening diamonds?

Next we have this entry from Ankit Agrawal, of flamingoes at the Nakuru National Park, Kenya. They make for a placid summer pic, wading and feeding in the summer sun.

Amit Jadhav from Mumbai also enjoys the offerings of Mahabaleshwar. "During a recent visit, we came across a strawberry farmer ferrying his fresh farm produce to the local market," he says. "These bright red and very sweet berries made for a very good photo subject under the hot summer sun."

And here we have a photograph from Saurav Bhattacharya. "This is a picture of the sun setting in over the Dhakuria Lake in Kolkata," he explains. "The most suitable caption would be 'ekla cholo re'."
