Whoever said mountains are lonely! A mountain is a zillion miracles stacked together. How else can freezing snow and fragrant flowers share the same neighborhood, once a year, every year!!

Summer is when the mountain decks up like a bride. The tall green trees morph into her long wedding wear. The pearly white creeks run like stringed beads across her gown. Rhododendrons and roses adorn her like the gemstones on her human counterpart.  A misty white veil and a glittering tiara bring a heavenly glow on her with every ray of sunlight.

A bride in summer, an angel in winter.  She withers in autumn, rejuvenates in monsoon. Together with her evolve her zillion miracles.
