The beautiful climber embraces the whole expanse of the facade of the cottage. It lends a rare beauty to the simple windows.

Black-Hooded Oriole

































































In spring it is easy to sight Orioles. On 12th March, 2011'I could see a Golden Oriole, but could not snap it. After some time I could chase and photograph the Black-Hooded Oriole above. All of Spring is there in this bird.

Le Gruyère- Pastoral Scenes











































One could see a small amount of snow in the photograph at the top at Le Gruyère. The Clock in the photo above shows the time at five past ten. The advantage of having clock towers around is that the time gets recorded in the snaps.

La Gruyère - The Cobble-stoned Road

























The Cobble-stoned road above of La Gruyère seems to be long and undulating. Switzerland, everywhere has retained its original landscape.

La Gruyère Scenes




























































In the first photograph above one could see some gathered snow melting. Despite some cars being parked, the only sound one could hear in these photographs is silence.

La Gruyère Landscape























































































No doubt the snow s played truant. I could see some tufts of snow on the mountain tops. The landscape however is as beautiful as ever. To sum up in one word, idyllic.
