Monsoon rains have saturated the parched hill sides with elixir from the heavens. It has renewed and boosted the energy of leaf, bush and flower. Vegetation feels blessed with a glowing green glory and looks like a bride decked with green finery.
The wondrous visual treat soothes as well as excites the senses. Birds come out fluttering and making music after the downpour stops. When the rain gods take some rest, the flora shakes up inertia and brightens up for the indulgence of the generous on lookers. The washed festive ambiance washes away, whole lot of stresses and strains.
However, it juxtaposes with another aspect of this season. Cloudbursts, flash floods, landslides, extensive damage to life and property and roads have been reported in this hill state.Life, in fact is synonymous with opposites.

These yellow flowers (above) are real brave hearts. Soon after the rains cease, they show their resilience by spreading golden smiles.
The rose bushes were pruned more than a month ago. They again are proliferating with bud and flower.
The yellow flower is yet to show its full prowess.
Early morning shot as the mist is rising up from the mountain tops.
The other side of the valley,hazy in parts.
The drizzle is there still. A wet day with the skyline wearing a white cloudy cloak.
The larger scene of the valley. The mist lingers on....
