Caterpillar lunch - red flowers Periyar sanctuary India by

This is a shot from our national park trek in Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary, India. Most of the park was green (surprising, I know!) and there weren’t many flowers but every now and again I’d spot a small plant with a few brightly coloured tiny flowers. Our guide said it was the food source of a particular butterfly we’d seen around the place, well, more the food source for the caterpillar.

You can see why, in an endless green forest, this little flash of colour constantly caught my eye.

About Detour

From early beginnings in 2001 armed with little more than a keen eye, I’ve spent ten years building up my body of photographic work and honing my skills, gradually finding my voice.

From architecture to wildlife, macro to landscapes, portraiture to the abstract, I find art in the everyday and Iove to share my world with others.
