well, either the photo is really old, or the dog is just chilling on a random grave, because no way is this dog 24 years old.

    The wild animals of nature are astounding. 💗

    Charan captures a wide range of subjects, but he finds the way animals express emotions—much like humans—particularly fascinating. "I want to depict that in my photographs," he shared. "The fascinating part is studying their behavior, which most closely resembles human socializing when observed intently. Learning their behavior and waiting for animals to act as you expect them to is the most interesting aspect."

    Photography comes with its own set of challenges. For Charan, the most difficult part of being a photographer is learning to cope with failures. You don’t get the shot every day, and you need to keep moving along. I enjoy the journey as a photographer. If we focus only on the results, we don’t enjoy the process as much, so the creative journey of making an image is what I enjoy the most."

    ...like a blue agate.

    When asked about his favorite photograph, Charan pointed to an image of a monkey couple. "I shot this in 2013 when my wife was pregnant, and the doctors told us that the baby's oxygen supply was on the lower side. I was photographing a monkey couple in the Western Ghats when I received the news. Lost in my thoughts, I continued shooting the pair. After some time, the female moved slightly, revealing a baby. It was a special moment for my stressed mind, filling me with hope and happiness."

    This is so funny. The scarecrow is I suppose to keep birds from stealing seeds, and the owls can post there in order to catch seed-stealing mice.

    The crow is alone, which means that the eagle is likely attacking it, and is responsible for those missing feathers. If there were more crows, the opposite would have been true.

    Years ago some jerk dumped a big box of about 12 or 15 puppies near my driveway. They were big just heavy enough to get out of the box & split it open. I called animal control and told them to send somebody ASAP because they were getting in the road and we're either going to get hit or cause wrecks. Some woman and her 2 little girls stopped and put all of them in the backseat of her small car. When animal control finally showed up I told them where she lived down the road. If you don't want your dogs or cats having or causing babies get them spayed or neutered!
