In the above image, you are seeing an insect on a leaf, maybe relaxing.
The way it has postured, first I thought it was a mosquito.
On closer inspection with my macro lens, I realised that it is a common housefly.
If you notice the body of the house fly is not straight and it is bent more than usually, we notice.
I don’t know.
Is it feeling chill? or it is uncomfortable due to hot weather?
Further, you can also notice a small water bubble at its mouth.
Photographing a House-fly while it jets out the water bubble is a rare opportunity.
Do you know what is happening?
Housefly blowing a bubble of water with its mouth., the process is said to keep the insect cool when the temperature outside is high.
I took this photo soon after a mild drizzle.
My guess is the falling of the raindrops on the hot soil has increased the temperature instantly and to cool its body the fly must have jetted out the water bubble.
No way anybody loves house fly.
They are unpleasant and an eyesore.
They fly over peoples faces and hover over our delicious food while carrying varieties of disease-causing bacteria.

” Be good to your skin, you will wear it everyday for the rest of your life”. Unknown
Loofah (loofas) is a shower accessory used for getting clean while rubbing on the body along with soap solution…
These loofahs have course and spongy consistency with a feel-good factor, as you clean your body.
I am not sure whether it’s still popular these days.
“Take care of your skin and your confidence will take care of itself.”
Amit Kalantri
It can be synthetic fibres are natural (from Luffa gourds)
The Luffa gourd plants are commonly found in Japan
✔Along with the soap solutions, it helps to cleanse your skin.
✔Helps in exfoliating (removing the dead skin cells from the surface of your skin) the skin on your body and face.
✔Stimulates the blood circulation
✔Skin appears shiny
✔You feel rejuvenated after the shower
Usage of loofah has some hidden risks.
That is the reason I choose this topic.
After use, usually, hang the loofah up in the shower area so that it can dry up over time.
Dead skin cells are accumulated in the fibre net and a sure recipe for multiplication of the germs since the shower environment is nice for organisms to multiply (humid, no air circulation)
This requires that you should thoroughly clean your loofah regularly before you dry it for using it next time, otherwise bacteria are back on your body.
If you are still using a loofah these days, it’s time you start rethinking!
All is not lost.
Suggestion given are
Thank you.
Namaste 🙏🙏🙏

“Mosquitoes bite you as if they are in some kind of love with you”. M.F. Moonzajer
In the photo above two things catch your attention.
Photography of water droplets is an interesting topic.
It’s the refraction of the image through the water droplet that becomes more interesting.
The appearance of the subject resembles that of a fisheye lens view and similar to the image in lens ball photography except the image is upside down.
“True joy of nature is when every drop of water shines like a pearl” Anamika Mishra
Of course, you all know about the insect’s Antenna.
Antennae are used to feel, smell and often hear.
The antennae of male mosquito are bushy as in the photo above unlike the less hairy antennae of female.
You know pretty well that mosquitoes are not friendly insects.
My friend, female mosquitoes are dangerous.
Male mosquitoes don’t need blood for survival. The survive on flower nectar.
We know that human blood tastes ‘salty’ but for the Female mosquitoes, it’s a ‘sweet candy’!
“When you really want to slap someone, do it and say mosquito” unknown
“If only mosquitoes sucked fat instead of blood” unknown
“Mosquitoes are like family: they are annoying, but they carry your blood” Unknown
You don’t believe me if I say….
It’s our hurtful words my friend!

“The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough.” Rabindranath Tagore
I took this shot when the butterfly was resting on the ground.
I was wondering why it should rest on the ground instead of flying, because just before I saw it moving from one flower to another in the garden.
I realised that half of its right-wing is torn. What could have been the reason? I don’t know. Maybe a close shave with a spider or lizard.
Maybe it’s getting tired too quickly because of less ‘wing power’…I am not sure.
Broken wing symbolises a person who is hurt badly and emotionally.
Said to be common among people who are highly sensitive.
Still, all is not lost. One can make sincere efforts to ‘fly’ again and at some stage, the unseen power lifts you high and things become easy to fly again.
This also made me recollect the friendship quote.
“Friendship is like a butterfly’s wing. Once it is torn, it may never fly again” Unknown
No surprise majority of us become introverts as we lose faith in the friendship over time.
Thank you.

“Purple colour said to balance the stimulation of Red and calm of Blue.
With a sense of mystic and royal qualities, purple is well-liked by very creative or eccentric types
And is the favourite colour of adolescent girls”. sensational colour
“The only medal that I am certain I deserved is the Purple Heart’, Bob Kerrey
According to Dictionary.Com
The Purple Heart emoji 💜 depicts a classic representation of a heart, coloured purple. It is commonly used to represent love, support, close bonds, and admiration for things that have some relation to the colour purple.
The other meaning of this emoji is an honour of sacrifice. The Purple Heart medal is awarded to the USA military veterans.
One should be careful in using this emoji in routine chats since it could also mean sexuality. The context is important.
Yes, my friend. There are many. Each signifying one type of emotion. You have to get acquainted with the meaning of each!
No need for you to express your feelings physically! Emojis are the modern way of conveying your feelings!
Internet has changed the very meaning of the word ‘L O V E’
My guess is millennials know more types of hearts and understand better.
Rest of the generation has to learn and understand how suitably one can express ‘Love’
So granny and grandpa out there…catch with the present generation to show or express love to your better half.
Better undergo a learning course😄😄
OK, my friends.
Have a blessed day my friend.
Spread love, smile, support, close bond and admiration. That is enough.
Thank you.
Namaste 🙏🙏🙏

“A walk you made by disappearing amongst the green grasses is always richer than a walk you make amongst the green emeralds!” Mehmet Murat ildan
It’s a species of grass known by many common names like Green Foxtail, Green bristlegrass and foxtail millet.
There are myriads of forms and hundreds of grasses throughout the entire earth, yet each grass and each form itself is the entire earth. Dogen
For unknown reasons, the very look at green grass gives us a feeling of happiness. It brings calmness.
One can spend hours watching the green grass.
And luckily, one comes across the grass in every season.
We think of grass whether it is a lawn, garden, countryside, parks, or hillside.
Of all the plants, the grass is said to be the most important for human survival.
✔Important food source for humans,
✔Plays an important role in nature,
✔And helps against soil erosion.
We never look at the grass.
Even we have a glance, we never admire it’s beauty.
We take it for granted, pluck or cut it left and right, crush it and what not….
So many helpful insects live and thrive in the grass and we love to destroy them.
We consider grass as an invasive weed and destroy it.
Next time you come across grass just enjoy its beauty. It’s free of cost.
Thank you.
Namaste 🙏🙏🙏

Have you seen the 1977 science fiction movie ‘Close encounter of the third kind’ by Steven Spielberg? If so, you understand what I am saying. (Just joking)
I had such an encounter, the other day.
I shall explain.
1.Close encounter of the first kind (Visual sighting) — Discovering a housefly.
2. Close encounter of the second kind (body changes in the witness) — In this case, the witness is me and getting excited by the sight of the fly
3.Close encounter of the third kind (visibility of the occupants) — In this case the water bubble coming out of the mouth of the house fly
Have you witnessed a house fly blowing a water bubble?
Photographing a Hose-fly while it jets out the water bubble is a rare opportunity.
‘Bubble-blowing’-House fly blowing bubble of water with its mouth.,the process is said to keep the insect cool,when the temperature outside is high
