Tree Course (ThursdayTreeLove)

This is actually a backdated post.. I was unable to post here due to issues with the host or server or WordPress or whatever. Then there have been issues with leaving comments on the posts.

Sigh!

I had a wonderful opportunity to see trees in their winter glory when I joined my husband on his golf trip. These are images from a golf course in South Carolina, USA.

Precious Moments (Wordless Wednesday)

Our morning walks to the tekdi offers immense joy for the mind and soul…besides physical benefits of course!

Last month we were treated to this fabulous rainbow.. a full semicircle stretching across the horizon.

My cell phone camera was woefully inadequate to capture this beautiful sight!

And if this wasn’t enough, we saw a tiny band of a second rainbow on top!

Look carefully to see the second rainbow!

Such experiences reiterate that we must enjoy and cherish every moment. Why stress about things not in our control?

Framed!

Tree Love (ThursdayTreeLove)

This is one of the glorious sights on my morning walk on Pune’s Vetal Tekdi. Some may well ask what is remarkable in this image .. the grass has dried, many trees have shed their leaves and so on…

The Sun just peeping out from the horizon on a chilly winter morning (yes Pune does have a few every season ๐Ÿ™‚ ) is a glorious sight to behold. Refreshing the mind and soul.

But tree lovers will adore trees in all the seasons in all their natural states. A leafless tree displaying its trunk and branch architecture is as beautiful as one in full bloom. The golden grass carpet crunching below our feet and rustling in the breeze soothes as none other.

As John Muir has said, “Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Natureโ€™s peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop away from you like the leaves of Autumn.โ€

I am sure you all agree!

I am joining Parul in her ThursdayTreeLove blog hop. It the hundredth edition this time and I am happy to say I have been participating since the 20th. Do head over to see some fantastic trees from around the world. Better still, join in!

Dwarpal At Ellora (Wordless Wednesday)

Aurangabad, UNESCO, Ellora

Ellora, Verul, Aurangabad

Located on either side of the famous Gajalakshmi , these Dwarpal welcome us at the Cave 16 Kailash Temple. The sway of the trunk is significant. Those seen when exiting this temple have their heads turned inwards which suggests farewell.
