* Marsh marigold

*Famour Himalayan blue poppy

* VOF -has the most wonderous wild flora. However I recall when I first visited this place - I thought I will be seeing Roses and what not....not these small florals some of them were as small as 1/2 cm :-)

** Thanks to all for your comments. I am just too swamped. Hope to post one more post on VOF......very soon !!

VOF - I

* These friends were swaying way too much..... ( I think they were delirious to get our company ) ... * sigh* - delusions.....!!!

* These flowers were everywhere.....!

* They were so much in profusion that it was not possible to take a step and not crush some of the flowers... :-((

* A nymph...?? walks through....the valley....!

***** Thanks so much for your lovely comments friends and showing interest in pics of VOF....Enjoy !!!

Valley of Flowers

We loved reading this notice and making more plans....

The memory of this pristine Paradiso still lingers.....! Entering this protected region - looking at the endless meadows filled with all these wild flowers - this visit was worth it...all my short breath, burning pain in calves....hunger, thirst ,cold - worth every efforts to be able to see VOF in this lifetime !!

Special Guest

* If your team has lost a game so beside standing on the side and cheering other team - this is another way to kill time. Quite pleasurable ...ehan....!!

* I was told that this butterfly is " SPECIAL guest" @ Holmes Farms -Ranikhet :)

* No I am not in hiding, am well ( & pleasantly tired) just too much travelling these days. Been to Ranikhet then to Valley of Flowers up in mountains ( Yippie...done it done it !!) . Now again packing my bags ........!

Hope to be back with all of you soon & catch up.....!!

Stay well ...!

Nostalgia

Kuch nayee manjeelon ki talash mein nikalna hai.....lekin yeah Dil Mange More..... :)
