Peepal in Spring

The Peepal tree or the Ficus religiosa (sacred fig) is a common tree and I seem to see one no matter where I go. Except when I want to photograph one 😦

But this time I got lucky or rather created a bit with some mix and match πŸ˜‰

Can you see the massive windblown and rather harassed looking tree in the background? That was taken just under 3 weeks ago.

And one more, simply because I couldn’t resist – purple leaves too! And to think I spent all my life around them. What on earth have I been doing all these years?!!!

Sometimes,

a cleansing wash

is not enough

and one must

shed the old

and

start anew
