Lovely pictures, all of them, particularly the orchids which are exquisite in their natural setting.
Reminds me of Wayanad / Kerala.
Nothing compares with the incomparable beauty of Nature.
A query - not a trace of the magnificent reptiles that have their home in this habitat.
Cud u please rectify that ?

Seeing these pics a single thought came 2 my mind, India is such a beautiful land.
It's a pity that we don't know how 2 showcase it, though.
Even the Hawaiian hibiscus seems so reassuringly familiar, like the ones at home.
Many thanx Reeth 4 bringing these pixs 2 us.

Wow! Simply takes ur breath away!

Thanx Reeth.
Cud u post sum pixs of the Japanese Zen gardens 2?
Noorie
Posted by: noorie Mar 8 2007, 12:32 AM
That is quite an eyeful of pure Beauty. My eyes are still feasting on it.
Oddly enough the cherry blossoms up close look like wild brambler roses ( the cluster kind ), don't they?
I have a feeling that the Zen garden is my type of garden though i have nothing against showy flower beds of the popular common kind.
How do i thank you for these lovely pics? Reeth, you are the best.

So much beauty in the world and not enough time 2 appreciate them. Reeth - thank you for the pics and 4 the reminder that life is beautiful. I am just thankful that I have a chance 2 be a part of it.
Those scarlet and burnished gold hued trees in autumn, aren't those chinars? What a glorious sight!
I've been to the Valley of flowers, it's a very beautiful place, sadly we cudn't spent a lot of time there as we had 2 get back 2 Mussourie b4 the rains came down. Luckily 4 us we did, the rains were so fierce that there were several landslides on the route that we had just passed by.
Reeth, have you ever been to Mussourie? It used 2 be quite a scenic place.
I hate Mussourie weather though, it's rather like Scotland. The mist never seems to leave off and the rains don't need an excuse 2 come pouring down. Miserable.
I have a special request, cud you please share some pixs of Neelakurinji flowers in bloom ? If that wudn't be too much trouble? Thank you.

I have been to mussorie and Dehradun with my friends.....did a lot of trekking around the Garwhal range......we fortunately had fine weather, so managed to stay outdoors most of the time...
Scotland is another place i wd love to visit......
Here are the Neelakurinji blooms..........Now you need to wait until 2018 to see the next show
....noorie Have you been to Munnar ..?
Posted by: noorie Apr 21 2007, 04:10 AM
Reeth, thank you! That was really quick too. The flowers are lovely.
I can't help envying the lucky folks who get to experience such beauty for real. Must be a perfect location for movie filmings, is it ?
Hear my confession, ever since I heard that the Nilgiris gets its name from these blooms, I've wanted 2 see them.
The Kurinji blooms once in 12 years, isn't that so? 2018, that's so far away. Wonder where I might be then?
I've been to Ooty and Kodaikanal with my family on holiday ( don't remember any of it 'coz I was hardly five ), but not Munnar. I know what you must be thinking, we came so near. Yes, we did.
God Willing, there will be more trips in the offing, and this time I'll make sure that I do visit these places. This time I want 2 remember it too.

Lucky you to be able to see the kurinji flowering.
Are those pics of Munnar? Those clean, white sandy lovely beaches are really tempting me.
Best of all, I don't see any of those firangis either.
God Willing, next time I ever visit down South, I'll certainly make Munnar my first halt.

Those pics weren't of Munnar? I feel cheated.
Coastal Karnataka seems a quiet idyllic place 4 a retreat,
maybe I'll turn 2 it if ever I think of writing a book. I love the coastal cuisine of the South; seafood and fishes of every imaginable variety,
cooked 2 perfection, not greasy or over spicy.
Also, how can I forget the tender coconut water, it's heavenly!
Reeth, you like the sea or the hills better?
When I was five my 'ambition' was 2 own an island,
but the tsunami has 4ever altered my plans.
Noorie
Munnar is in the western ghats.....no sea around
U planning to write a book? on travel?
Do u cook?
I love both the hills and the Sea, it kinda humbles me.......while studying at manipal( In karnataka close to udipi and mangalore) i wd go to the beach at least 3 times a week wit my friends .........There was a tragedy once when one of our collegemate was drowned ......the fisherfolk there tried their level best and helped a lot....but one cant go against nature...
Posted by: noorie May 2 2007, 07:12 AM
Dear me, so Munnar is in the Western Ghats. It's time 2 dust out that old atlas, I can clearly see that. Or maybe we cud bring a little sea 2 Munnar?
After all, anything is possible these days when the Chinese can make artificial rain and snow.
Reeth, but how did you guess? Cooking's a passion with me. The time when I am not 2 be found with a book in my hand or listening 2 music, or with my family or friends, I'll be in the kitchen rustling up new delicious dishes.
Collecting well guarded family recipes is another of my guilty pastimes. But it's definitely well worth it, I haven't heard any complaints from anyone yet.
A travel writer and me? No, I couldn't be. For the simple reason that I am always too busy savoring the beauty of the places I visit. Besides I am the impulsive kind, I wud hate 2 keep a journal.
Reeth, do you read a lot of travel literature? Any particular favorite author?
It's tragic what happened with your friend, but the sea is unpredictable and mysterious.
I know just what you meant by that "humbling" feeling; I've felt it too, that raw power of wild Nature at it's merciless best.
The hills can also show that savage face though rarely. Entire hills with houses on them doing the disappearing act as a result of landslides and flashfloods. One of my best friends a Himachali girl lost her whole family when her native village was swamped by a massive cloud burst.
Yet life goes on. It takes a lot of courage to be able to do that. I don't know if I could.

It's like a Dream! Reminds me of the lines by William Wordsworth -

That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze."Only difference the ones in the pix ( the 3rd one ) are
bluebells! Thanx 4 these Reeth.

Here's something more about this beautiful flower 'muguet' as they say in France.
I love late April in France for many reasons. Right up at the top of the list is the lovely French custom of offering small bouquets of muguet de bois to friends, family and colleagues on the first of May, May Day. In the last days of April, the streets are filled with muguet vendors, both rogue and approved, who offer two or three branches of this fragrant flower for 3 euros. Flowershops show off charming arrangements incorporating lilies-of-the-valley. Everyone wants to give and receive un brin de muguet for good luck and happiness.
Why muguet? Why May 1? This giving tradition is centuries old, purportedly having started during the reign of Charles IX in the 16th century. At the beginning of the merry month of May, wedding bans were traditionally posted and wreaths of muguets were hung in doorways of the brides-to-be. In the late 1800s, the international workers movement declared the first of this month as May Day, in honor of the workers of the world.
In France, workers and their supporters wore lily-of-the-valley boutonnières to combine old with new. Today many unions in France sponsor flower sales as fundraisers for their members, and May 1 is a national holiday, Fête des Ouvriers. But for me, May 1 is May Day, when the streets are filled with the perfume of muguets des bois and smiling faces exchanging flowers and good wishes for the coming season.

i tease him a lot abt it... I know just what you mean.
Artists are such crazy people, they are completely oblivious of the world when they are talking about their work. My mom and I always tease dad about it when he invites any of his artist friends over, they would even plead to have their grub brought to them in the study. I hate that.
So your friend paints abstracts. I love abstract art, Picasso is my favorite.
Reeth, have you read Moulin Rouge the biography of French painter Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec? He led a very bohemian life, I am sure you would enjoy reading about it.
About whether I paint, not anymore. It was just something I liked doing a lot when I was younger. I was especially fond of the oil medium. Landscapes and still lifes' are what I most liked to paint.
I suppose I am just lucky to have an arty background. My dad still has very close ties in the art fraternity.
It also helps that we have a very good art collection at home. But it’s getting much tougher to buy good art nowadays, the fakes are more real than the original, even the artist has trouble sometimes differentiating the two.

It’s the same at my home.
Mom and I are great friends, but my dad is a real terror. He has the most
fearsome temper in the world, luckily I didn’t take after him.

You have had a great upbringing having had exposure to so many different things, no wonder you are so
well informed about most things....
I like paintings and my mamma likes them and collects antiques and paintings, she has quite a few tanjore paintings and a few Ravi varma's...and some other.
I have only seen Moulin Rouge the film, will try nd read the book as well..

Reeth, don't you sometimes get the feeling that we are too alike?
Is that a scary thought?
I'll let you decide that!

Nature so glorious and yet
fearsome. I like that.
Reeth, what can I say? Each one of these latest pixs are simply
magnificent. Thanks for bringing them to our attention, us the lazyblokes who seldom get to view Nature as our Creator intended.
The second lot of pictures, are those really of Munnar? Such cool and inviting greenery.
Makes you forget the reptiles.
But isn't it also true that there's no more deadlier creature on this planet than the two-legged upright walking mammal? Noorie....long time
........Thank you for appreciating the pics ......
i totally agree with you there :
