Apple tree

these woods again

a leaf frozen

in the spider web

Chinar : Pahalgam

Gentle snowy breeze /
Chinar tree's branches sway / wind chimes softly

British school, Srinagar

Iridescent eye ~
flaring orange;
white pupil ~
gazes from above

Nishath garden water falls

white cascading stream ~
dancing over moss strewn rocks ~
with tinkling laughter

Gulmarg

frosty morning /
flock of
starlings /
twisting in the
wind.

Beneath the Shower

Frozen perfection ~
each droplet
stopped in its tracks ~
artistic, silent.

Sonmarg. After Rain

twilight /
rain becoming snow /
swallowing my words

bird's song

cloudy •
inside this soul •
waiting for snow...

morning water

fall winds
water rushing from the tap
colder and colder

morning. Besides Dal lake

we lie in the shadows/
as the sun works its magic/
on the waves/
in the lake before us/
then engulfs us in splendor
