It is always a wonderful thing to leave behind a desert country where temperatures can reach 120 and above (126 yesterday) to visit a country rich in biodiversity. The flora and fauna of Nepal is much more varied than any other area in Asia. From grasslands and jungles, to farmlands, forests and mountains high, there was much beauty to be seen (and a few creatures to surprise us along the way).
If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy, if a blade of grass springing up in the fields has power to move you, if the simple things of nature have a message that you understand, rejoice, for your soul is alive. ~Eleonora Duse
Hope you are having a fabulous Friday! Best wishes and blessings, Tammy

Look at all those different exotic flowers - how beautiful! Love the elephant, swans and lizards. What an amazing place.
Love all the pictures of different animals you encountered. So sorry your plants died. Will you get more moss roses?
hugs!
I am going to quit complaining about 100 degree weather when you are dealing with 125!!
This song makes me tear up....Louis Armstrong was my mom and dad's favorite! I love this song.....it truly is a "wonderful world"
How sad to come home to dead plants and such a house gone across the street. Hope what they build adds beauty to your view. I enjoyed your Safari pictures (as close as I will come to one) and the pictures here today. I always enjoy visiting your blog. I can see and learn more about a world so far away. I visit here as often as possible. Thanks for your input on my blog and a visit always follows a comment on my blog. Yours is one of my favorites.
Sorry to hear about the hot weather. Next time I complain about 100-105, I'll think of you and stop complaining.
Great quote too.
Beautiful photos. Yes, such a contrast from where you life. I'm sorry your plants died. I can imagine because even here I have to water mine every day to keep them looking great in the heat.
Happy weekend :)
I bet you enjoyed every moment and every creature. I especially like the baby elephant, the lizard on the flower (that's an amazing picture!, and the monkeys. I'm sorry about your view, hope it changes for the better and I hope it cools off a little for you. Diane
Thank-you for stopping by my blog Tammy, I came to visit and think I'll stay! What amazing pictures and your trip sounds awesome! I'll be back!
What an adventure! I love these pics. Off to hear about the safari.
Wow..diverse is right! And, it's amazing..and beautiful..and and and!
Thanks for all the cool photos..and speaking of cool..stay cool! (or at least TRY to :-) )
Dearest Tammy,
Well, so glad you got so many lovely memories and pictures. That can almost block out the 'temporarily' sight from your balcony.
What a lush paradise you were in! Love those images.
And to top it off with a writing from Eleonora Duse did it for me! She lived in the area where we lived in Italy and actually her home is changed into a hotel in Asolo. Such rich culture!
Lots of love and hope you manage the barren and the heat.

Love the birds sitting on the tree tops....I know there must be a funny caption for that!!
How pretty your photos are Tammy. Lots of slugs and crawlies! And a baby elephant...awwww.
I'm glad you had an interesting trip...seems that there was something to see at every turn.
Warm hugs

SO wonderful for your family to be able to go on hoilday to Nepal Tammy. I love every one of your beautiful pictures of your trip. What a gorgeous place. 126 degrees! I can't even imagine it! I am so sorry about your plants, but I bet you wouldn't trade the experience in Nepal to have them back again.lol!
I was so happy to see your message at my place!
sending hugs...
Oh Tammy - you have taken your children on an incredible journey. Your photos are amazing - from the elephants to the little people who live there - you have shared an amazing story of a different world. I cannot imagine what it must have been like for you all to experience this grand adventure. I am going to come back and pour over these photos again when I have more time - they are like a National Geographic story. Amazing my friend!

Beautiful lizards.
Such great pictures of nature :D

I am in love with the white geese
I feel your sadness at the sight you are now greeted with from your balcony...sorry about the plants dying. Quite a contrast to the lush, green jungles of Nepal.
'What a Wonderful World' always brings tears to my eyes too...beautifully sung by Louis Armstrong. I also enjoyed the rendition of Somewhere Over the Rainbow song. Nice music choices, Tammy. :)
LOVED your pics!
Have a lovely weekend,
Serena xo
So sorry about your plants dying!! Can you start over? I'm glad for you that you had your getaway though .... The memories will last for a long time to come ....
Fabulous holiday pics Tammy, it looks an amazing place to visit. You poor balcony and the view. You didn't mention Jingles, he must miss the plants!
Hope your garden will be back in no time, Tammy.....sweet blessings to you and yours...happy weekend!!!
Oh, what a striking difference. It is amazing, isn't it? I love the variety of wonders available in our beautiful world. blessings ~ tanna
