Wildlife

We stopped for a few hours at a wildlife sanctuary between Delhi and Agra. It was great, although we got fewer pictures than we wanted. In addition to these creatures, we saw turtles, an owl, monkeys, an antelope, and many great birds.



^ Various deer (look closely) and a stork.



^ Close up of a deer.



^ Our horse, decorated in the Uttar Pradesh style (which is, apparently, plastic flowers).



^ Tame deer, lived at the Hindu temple on the property.



^ The property was once a hunting grounds, many names I remember from grad school bagged animals here. Lord Qurzon and Lord Kitchener among them. There is a town outside of Toronto named for Kitchener, and he took part in the Boer War.



^ The boys catching a moment at the edge of the lake within the sanctuary.
