Garden

These photos were taken at the Botanical Garden in Ooty



The kiss of the sun for pardon,
The song of the birds for mirth,
One is nearer God's heart in a garden
Than anywhere else on earth.

    Those are beautiful and beautifully captured! Do you live in New Delhi? I was in Pune and Chennai this past March.

    Looks great: I love gardens that are a bit wild: they attract lots of butterflies and other insects and give animals like hedgehogs al savehaven.

    love the elements the greenhouses add: the old paint, dirty windows, gutter pipes, etc.

    The color of this building is certainly complimented by the flowers.
