« One day, one discovery »: the time of hope, on the road to 2021… How beautiful our planet is! J-3

Sunrise over the countryside in Shekawati in north-east Rajasthan. A semi-arid region where men remove the leaves from trees at this time of year to allow crops to grow a little. Open door to the Thar Desert, it is already sunny in the morning.

Strolling around the garden and wondering where to start.

To be seized to come across a kingfisher, here called Kingfisher, so early in the morning.

Cross all kinds of birds that just like men start their day.

Go a little deeper into the garden of the Kan Sing Nirvan family.

Notice a rustle on the left and discover a bird in the middle of landing.

Scrutinize a little more precisely the foliage until you can distinguish a parakeet…

…then two parakeets that blend into the landscape.

Let yourself be touched by some pottery abandoned in the ground.

Having fun with a masked bird.

Put the milk on the heat.

In the meantime, venture a little further around the farm.

Enjoy a few stems of millet grown by the Sing family.

Take a closer look at the small grains.

Take a wider tour on the field side.

Getting to know the camel of the young son of the family.

Savour this peaceful corner and listen to the surrounding peace and quiet.

Surrounding the roof of the hut in which we slept last night.

Discover an old tractor which is used less often than the camel.

Go back to the inner garden.

Find the majestic parakeets now singing on the top of the branches…

…and look at us with a questioning look.

The Matter Poha is soon ready, it embalms the whole backyard of the house.

A still slightly dishevelled bird would be tempted.

Another red-spotted bird also approaches to sniff more closely.

The Poha is cooked, it is time to taste the saffron-coloured dish while listening to the song of the surrounding birds.

Taste the cooked rice to your heart’s content and be ecstatic when you discover a bird trying to hide between the branches.

Then prepare to roast the peanuts and peel them.
