Flora and Fauna of The Himalayas !

A walk in the woods and being amongst nature is one of the beautiful experience a person can have . My latest visit to the Wildflower Hall shimla was one such experience .

One of the lasting pleasures of a walk in these woods is the call from unsighted birds . While climbing a hill in the Himalaya you may come across numerous wild flowers , half hidden amongst the ferns , some coming out from behind the stones.... which will make your outdoor experience especially rich .

Here is a look at the wild strawberry , the fruit smells wonderful . The plant grows all over the region , hence its called the strawberry trail . 

 Most significant is the tree of the gods and the pride of the Western Himalaya –the stately deodar.

                         Berries hanging from the trees 

 This is Himalayan birch ... The paper-like bark of the tree was used in ancient times for writing Sanskrit scriptures and texts .

And then we came across Wax flowers growing on a small hill

                            Slate found amongst the woods 

                      Rubber oozing out from the Rubber tree 

We have so much natural abundance in the himalayas it makes you wonder how can all of this grow together ... Here is a stem from the eucalyptus tree and it smelled wonderful :)

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood and i took the one less travelled by and that has made all the difference :) 
A quote i remebered from my favourite poem " Road not taken " by robert frost

Garden pots on a chilly winter evening !

Sitting by the garden side, on a chilly winter evening with rain falling down and thunderstorm adding to the magic, i light up my all time favorite candle . Garden pots are as magical as they can be .

On a normal sunny day ,they add bright colors and contrast to the green garden and on a chilly winter evening they light up the garden beautifully and provide just the right amount of warmth to keep you going .
Its absolutely amazing to sit down and watch them burn ... while i enjoy my sip of coffee ,, you bring out your old candles and light them up !
