JAN WINTER has its moments. The days are full of sunshine while evenings can turn chilly. Soft turfs of clouds drape lazily over mountain tops as if waiting for new life to blow it across the landscape. SPRING is a botanist’s delight as rhododendrons, wild azaleas, and masses of wild flowers including the edelweiss cover the meadows like carpet. Pear and apple blossoms add a dainty touch to the valleys as their pink and white blooms add a sense of new wonder to the land. OCT SUMMER is an abundant time of the year as flowers are in bloom and valleys are covered in green, weeping willows sweeps the banks of many of the rivers and the pine cone glisten in the sun, so full with resin they are ready to plummet to the ground. AUTUMN casts a bright golden glow on the vast landscape. The rice fields ripen to a golden brown under crisp blue skies. The merry pink and white of cosmos flowers dot the countryside.
