As monsoon times comes around again, most of us like to stay indoors especially in the weekend. I was looking for options to make the rainy Sunday even better. I thought of joining for a Photo Walk at Maharashtra Nature Park, conducted by DCP Expeditions — a Mumbai based renowned photography academy.
Spread over 37 acres, Maharashtra Nature Park (also known as Mahim Nature Park) offers endless opportunities for the photographers to click images. Located at Bandra Sion link road and on the Southern bank of Mithi river, exactly on opposite side of Dharavi slums, this forest santuary land was once a city garbage dump. Now it is a place to study different plants, trees, mammals, butterflies, reptiles and birds. The park houses more than 14000 species of vegetation, 120 varieties of birds and over 75 kinds of butterflies. It has paths to trek around the park, a pond and also has an auditorium for nature related activities.

As soon as you enter the park’s gate, you can see a well maintained office area of this park. It was 8:00 am in the rainy morning when the photo walk started. Light drizzle added to the beauty of nature, and it turned out to be the best time for a nature photography photo walk. Under the guidance of Mentors, the participants clicked some beautiful pictures of creatures and some flowers. As the rain poured down continuously, it was hard to click by holding an umbrella in one hand and a camera on the other.
We had an opportunity to click images of a variety of butterflies, Humming bird moth, Centipede, Spiders, Mushrooms, Damselflies, other insects, slugs, etc.
It was around 11 am and I decided to leave the place. It was a nice morning, meeting a bunch of enthusiastic photographers and learning about butterflies, insects and trees.
