Kew and me.

Every time Kew Gardens send their magazine, it makes me want to jump on a bus & get there pronto.
Those of you who've been putting off a visit to the Kew should go there while the weather's warm & the cafes have outdoor seating. The gardens are spectacular in the summer!

The train ride.

I was supposed to get off at Marine lines to meet a friend when I got on a first class compartment on the Mumbai local.

At the exit stood 4 girls riding the train to school. None of them noticed me when I raised my camera to capture their easy comaraderie from behind them. The train was shaking a lot (the tracks from Charni road get choppy), so I lowered my camera to open up the aperture & compensate for the blurring. When I looked up again, one girl stood much ahead of of the rest. She wanted her picture taken.

The image above says the best I could capture of her eager innocence. Of course they got off at Marine lines & I missed my stop.
