Day 1.
On the 4th of December 2011, a clump of straws appeared in a plant next to my window. From past experience, I knew that this was in fact a nest being built.
The last time this happened on my Christmas tree, the birds laid their eggs but then abandoned the nest. This time, I was determined to not let this happen & so all the neighbour’s cats were chased off & no tampering was done with the nest!
This is not a Photoshop, but a juice box which I found, second/minutes/days away from exploding!
Found this tiny beetle yesterday in a bucket of water. It caught my eye because it had something like a transparent shell on top of that gold coloured body.
At 828m, the highest point in Mauritius - the Black River Peak, most commonly known as Piton de la Petite Rivière Noire. This photo was taken last year when I had gone for a hike with fellow bloggers down the Black River Gorges. At that time, I had decided that one day I would definitely climb that mountain.
Well, that day has finally arrived. After having earlier savoured the views from Cascade 500 pieds, we were now on our way to conquer the highest peak in Mauritius.
The 18th edition of the Infotech tech/trade fair was organised from 24 to 27 Nov 2011 under the theme of "Shaping the Digital Economy."
On the 1st of November, taking advantage of the dual public holidays, we planned a trip to the Black River Gorges National Park. Our destination was Cascade 500 Pieds also known as Cascade de Galets or Cascade de L’Exemple, a waterfall that is obviously 500 ft high (152 m).
