When the going gets tough, the tough get goingÂ
The tiny tree encircled by a sarong of green leaves, under the protective shadow of the tall tree reaching out to the skies, drew me in. Braving a ferocious Sun and risking a migraine, I walked close to admire the cute little one. It was only later that I realized that I hadn’t even spared a glance for the unobtrusive, reserved middle one.
Middlers – raise your hands 😀

This stolid and probably ancient tree reminds me of a doting grandparent. Can’t you just hear the fresh green ‘uns demanding another story? welcoming their eagerness, she lets them clamber all over her and if a few friends join in – no problem! There’s lots of space and love to go around 😀

Those of you who are regular visitors to my blog would know that I am rather partial to trees and that is putting it mildly 😀 My obsession is common knowledge among friends and family so whenever and wherever they go they never forget to share photos of trees. I feel blessed, overwhelmed and more than satisfied at their warm gesture and for taking time out in the midst of their work and pleasure trips. Here I share some photos from my collection of enchanting trees from near and far.
I hope you too will like them 🙂
My friends sneaked off to the hills without telling me 😦 But then came the photos – what were you thinking BS? Tall and slim like these trees? In our next lives for sure 😉
We are more like this one – grounded and juggling a lot of pies 😉 😀 Cheers
Now for some trees from Sri Lanka – thanks Ruma 🙂 Coconut shells form a decorative earthen pot for the plant. But later it is completely absorbed into the earth.
Then there’s this unruly wild child of the forest
The tree turns into a convenient display spot for attractive and fascinating masks
How could I forget these majestic beauties from Darjeeling and the unique angle – thank you Jyotsna 🙂
Let’s move on a bit farther to Germany. My cousin sent these stunning trees. Have a look
A veritable feast for the eyes
I just love this photo – don’t you?
Time for a change!
My cousin found this mottled beauty along the road. Doesn’t it look as if she is leaning back on a push swing and any moment she is going to take off?
Blue blue skies and snow clad trees also from Germany shared by Svkuki 🙂
There’s this massive one from Dublin snapped by my sister while on an educational trip there.
A hairy one and quite unapologetic too!
Is that two trees or one? Oh what does it matter – there’s just one like you, muaahh
A huge thank you to all you lovely people for being so generous with your time and keeping me in your thoughts – do keep them flowing 😉
Have a super week ahead 🙂
seasons
will come and go
you will go
your own way
do your own thing
but I will always
wait for you

Thank you
Hacked,
slashed
mangled
twisted,
crushed
maimed.
But
what you don’t get
is that you
have only made
me stronger.

Weathering storms
side by side,
together
for decades.
I forget
if that is you
Or me.

 For IPK fans, Khulasa Mami has been busy! 😀
She is dull
drab and brown
cares of the world
weigh her down;
unbeknownst
they close in
and paint her
pink and
yellow.
Where
would we
be
without
friends?

You may cut
me to size
show me
my place
as many times as you wish.
Destruction
is your nature
just as mine
is to rise
again and again
Four months was all that she took to begin yielding juicy drumsticks all over again.

Thanks for visiting – have a super Sunday 🙂
This week I am again off on my favorite hobby – stalking trees 😀 Just as a recap and in case you are not a regular visitor to this blog, just a couple of weeks ago, amaltas were in full bloom (CFFC: Golden Garden).
This particular showstopper opted for an all gold look. And just as quickly, she was back to her sedate greenery in about two weeks time.
But when I ventured for a closer look this weekend, look what I found nestling within the folds of her pleats leaves.
Golden danglers!
tough times –
he lives off her
gold
