Journey,rains ...life

Time for travellling during summer vacations has always been kept apart.This time time wasn't different either.A long tour which started to kochi and ended in the palani hills..Beautiful ghat roads through the tea estates,rains and finally the forests ,winding paths and then on to kumily, thekkady and finally in to the plains of tamilnadu and that went up to the hills.The rains where a constant phenomenon during the travel and so we enjoyed it much more than usual.

First rain....

First rains and a cause of celebration for me .It rained throughout the night.A rainy,grey morning.The monsoons have started its course in the southern states.A light breeze which brings with it the smell of wet earth,green moss and rain,the smell of all my favourite things,it softly detonates your receptors and transports you into a woodland,remember having read somewhere,how true isnt it?the forests might have been covered in a mix of green and brown.Moss covered rocks,what a beautiful feel...wet ferns from the crevices of walls....how beautiful..the plumeria held on to its flowers without shedding them.I wish i could capture the sounds and smells of rain in each image...how nice
