The Changing Colors in Chennai

This was taken about a month back, I guess.

 

Just look at the color of the leaves…..I just love them. Those tender leaves in that wonderful shade make a beautiful contrast to the old green leaves.

Who says you can’t spot the changing seasons in Chennai ???? Or the lovely colored leaves over here ?????

Now, look at this one, taken last week. Its amazing.  Look at the transformation. 🙂

Look at that wonderful shade of green, which really feels like hugging it !!!  Now, who wouldn’t wait for mangoes from this beautiful tree ??? 😉 😛

Nature around us is so so beautiful, like this simple mango tree, which can lift my spirits by the colors it shows. And I love watching and admiring Nature, which makes me feel so alive and so damn lucky to be part of this World, to enjoy them all.

  1. Drenched
    in the maternal sap
    rising
    from a monsoon earth
    and
    bubbling
    all across the branches
    the family
    celebrates
    the new births
    of the new,
    translucent skinned
    babies
    in shades of light copper.
    .

    Mature suhasinis
    in green,
    crowding around the newborns;
    dewy eyes shining
    as they acknowledge
    the elder Gulmohur,
    looking on
    indulgently.

    A month later,
    and much acclimatized,
    the young ones have learned
    the ways of the world,
    how to share the goodies
    from the soil,
    the drizzles on unseasonal rain,
    as they mature
    into a brilliant green
    and are able
    to keep the latest secret.

    Yes.
    The hint
    and the aroma,
    of some blossoms,
    promising
    some more sweetness
    the coming summer….
