Garden Affair : An ode to mountains

 I am writing this post dedicated to Hills and the Mountains spotted during my recent visit to Uttarkhand. If any one loves the mountains would relate to the saying from my favorite Author Ruskin bond  

                                " It is always the same with the mountains. Once you have lived with them for any length of time, you belong to the them . There is no escape. "

                                                                 

                                                               

                                                                          

                                                                     

                                                                        

It is the time for link up party Garden Affair where you can share posts related to Gardening, Nature and birds. The link up party will remain open for a week starting from Saturday .

Garden Affair : Excursion

 It was after a long time and for a much needed break I visited to the outskirt of city and was amazed to spot birds near lake. 

                     These lovely variety of Gooses were spotted on the shore of lake, Although I am unsure of the identity Please can anyone help me find the identity of these adorable birds.                                                

                        I can see these adorable  Indian Spot billed duck floating on the lake for hours
