The last of the series of photos from my garden and balcony, for now. I just can’t get enough of the rich colors of the leaves!

Another shot from yesterday, this time from my garden (actually more like shrub-land!).

A creeper had invaded the balcony of my house and was in the process of overrunning it. So today I finally shook off my lazyness and cleared it off the balcony proper. But the intense autumn colors of the leaves caught my eye and so here they are.

That is the elephant-headed Hindu god Ganesha, son of goddess Parvati. There is an interesting story behind why he got the elephant head but it is too long to narrate here. He is quite popular as he is supposed to bring good luck and help one to overcome obstacles in life. Oh, and he is also believed to have taken down the dictation of the epic Mahabharata non-stop!

The first photo to be posted from my new Minolta Dynax 5D! Am in love with this camera.
