________________
Thank you for the award for this hydrangea flower.
It brought back memories of Kashmir.
My two grown-up children, Surabhi and Raunak, my better half, Sachin, and I were on a family vacation in Kashmir.
It was as simple as a click. I was unfamiliar with the new camera, the Z7_2. Nonetheless, we took this new camera and one kit lens with us, not giving much thought to photography.

This flower photo was taken at Nishat Bagh on the first day.
We were exhausted from the long day of travel and hungry as well. We made a quick stop at the second itinerary and left in 30 minutes. We had already missed the first stop on the itinerary, Shalimar Garden, due to flight delays.

For the past 25 years, visiting Kashmir had been on my bucket list. It is indeed picturesque. All the gardens there are vast and beautiful.
The main flowering season there is from March to April and not October ... :D
I'd love to visit Kashmir again.
