When you have no concept of boundary, and just want to make sure you get the good stuff before anyone else can get to it! (a story in two frames) #FlamingoFriday #FeatheredFriday #Birds #Nature #Photography #ClassicMono #EastCoastKin #WaterScape #BlackAndWhite

you can see 3 flamingos with their head down in the lake looking for food - the one int he middle is in motion.

the one in the middle has moved to where the one on the right was eating, and has displaced his head, which has now been pulled out of the water and giving a side eye!

I just found out today is #WorldOceanDay so here's some photos from Mumbai's shoreline. 🦑 🌿 🦀 #TidePool #Photography #虫

a tiny hermit crab hiding inside a shell, which might be a size too small for it. you can see the large pincer and two legs jutting out of the shell.

The photograph was taken after sun set using a torch, and of the anemone being underwater.

You see pink transluscent tendrils in the middle of the photograph which belong to the anemone. there are also a lot of algae, moss (greenish) that are present in patches. the right top with a beautiful abstract pattern.

zoomed and cropped version of the indian sea plume - Each sea plume is a colony of minute organisms called polyps. These gorgonian polyps produce this branching plant-like structure with the help of a protein called gorgonin, similar to the material animals create horns with. The branching is produced along a single plane, resembling a hand-fan, hence are commonly referred to as sea fans.
