Better discovered late, than never

Every time we plan to 'get away' for a bit, we hesitate to make it a long vacation, or one far away (with too few exceptions). So Mysore has pretty much seen the four of us heading it's way more often than in other directions. Small though it is, the city did offer up a surprise in the Windflower. Almost at the foot of Chamundi Hills, you will surely miss it's presence behind the Olive Garden restaurant, unless you're headed straight for it. Some pics from our last trip there...

Buddha outside the entrance to the spa... serenity starts here.

The backyards that house the outdoor shower for each ground floor room have red brick walls with just the right amount of green.

A long 'pond' forms the water body behind the cottages and it catches some amazing light.

The pond overlooking the cottages.

Mini oranges! That plenty of care goes into keeping the greenery so appealing and somewhat natural is very evident.
The walkway to the pool and restaurant.

The cottages are done up well, colors mixed well. The only unpleasant piece of design, if I can call it that, is the king size bed, which is placed on a platform with steps. If you don't watch out, bruised knees and shins are guaranteed.
Another view of the pond.

The pool is designed to stay a little private and still very open.

The swans don't look out of their element at all.
