#April Challenge A –Z Blog Challenge 2019 - G

I have chosen the theme for this year’s challenge as “Nature” I will post  pictures about Nature in varied locations for 26 days and write what touches and inspires me.

He who plants a garden plants happiness. If you want to be happy for a lifetime, plant a garden. Chinese Proverbs 

When I thought about the letter G – Gratitude came to my mind first, on  a second thought images of Garden made me feel happy so I chose to post a picture of the garden we visited last before at Ooty in Tamilnadu, a beautiful place surrounded with lovely gardens. I felt this poem below is apt for the word. 

Ooty -Tamilnadu, India

Who loves a garden 

Finds within his soul 

Life's whole; 

He hears the anthem of the soil 

While ingrates toil; 

And sees beyond his little sphere 

The waving fronds of heaven, clear. 

Poet - Louise Seymour Jones 

God Almighty first planted a garden; and indeed,

it is the purest of human pleasures. 

It is the greatest refreshment to the spirits of man, 

without which buildings and palaces are but gross handiworks. 

Frances Bacon
