Apple blossom

Place: DHANAULTI

Apple blossoms in full bloom. At the Apple Orchard Resort at Dhanaulti in Uttarakhand.

We had gone over for lunch soon after checking into our hotel. The walk, through acres of forest land and in the midst of a light drizzle had been enchanting - crisp, cool weather, lush forest, birds chirping even in midday, the aroma of wild flowers and pines. A long, leisurely lunch later, we bid farewell with great reluctance.
