Tigers, anyone?

Just back from our yearly vacation.This time it was Dudhwa Tiger Reserve in UP....cold, bleak and tiger-less.....at least none showed up. But going to national parks and reserves is a great experience and the place is B-E-A-Utiful!!! pix a little later....took an elephant safari, got chased by a wild, loony elephant who as the handlers told us later, more after us than the girl elphant we were riding...close shave! Spotted several deers, a python (chilling out after a really large meal!), jungle cats, wild fowl and a Rhino..who seemed to be smirking at us.....more later
