Fireworks as I buzz by…
Posted by Adam Jadhav | Filed under costa rica
A blurry, jarring Costa Rican bus ride from Puerto Viejo de Talamanca to San Jose. I was absolutely enamored by these white barked trees with bright orange blossoms that flew by my window.

Highland vistas
Posted by Adam Jadhav | Filed under ecuador

I spent a weekend there during the sweaty weeks in the jungle. A good meal, a hot shower, a little bridge-jumping session. And more flora photography. See below. Continue reading this entry » » »

We’re conserving crucial parts of the forest and working in subsistence agriculture for a poor community, which sometimes takes precedence over pretty flowers.

Falling stars

In March, the dying flowers of Chamrod, as it’s called in India, cover patches of Lodi Gardens and other green spaces in Delhi. Just another one of nature’s details.

Blooming Delhi
Posted by Adam Jadhav | Filed under india
Delhi’s brief period of bloom is about over, as the oppressive heat will soon dry out all but the hardiest flora. This comes from Lodi Gardens.
