Dear Satish-ji, thank you for your remarks. Yes, indeed Himalayan flora takes ones breath away - as do most flora (and fauna), in fact. This collection has actually been photographed by my brother who lives there and he requested IDs. When I visited Ladakh lateMay/earlyJune, most of these flowers were probably only preparing to surface to show their beauty. Now is the right time to visit this heaven on earth.
Thats a nice shot of the Rosefinch. Being a birder myself, flora and fauna keep tossing me around between the two. Very distracting, but supremely exhilirating.
