Sprring

Spring is the time when the boring bushes on the medians of this city burst into a riot of colours.

The flowering trees have been painted yellow, red, and sometimes even purple!

The Bottlebrush is buzy cleansing the environs of the dust but somehow, a lot of trees are losing leaves!!

This city has the amazing phenomenon, in which trees are green in Autumn, however, they lose all their leaves in the springtime, and get green after spring is over (in the summertime!!).

My friend Shivdeep suggests that these trees are from the southern hemisphere, and are suffering from a sorta “Jetlag” which renders them leafless in the springtime, when its autumn in their native area.

Tabebuia trees are in full bloom, as you may see from these pictures.

The bright yellow colour of these flowers accentuates the green grass and ofcourse, the dull surroundings of this boring city.

We plan to go cycling tomorrow, and capture some of these beauties in the camera.

here is a photo i took of one of the trees in full bloom, right outside a small restaurant called Stop N Stare in sector 10.

The canon does not do too good a job in very bright daylight.

The photo came out underexposed, and with a hint of blur, which should not be at the wide end while being handheld in broad daylight!!

however, that may call for more experimentation.

I guess cycling clubbed with photography is not too bad a hobby afterall!!

I got my cycle tyres refilled today, so it should be a good day out cycling in the sun with the lovely wind blowing about.

Though I missed the best part of the year not cycling, but I guess that part may be still made up with this small excursion to the Jayanti Devi temple behind PGI.

I am too tired to continue, but I’ll attach one photo of the flowers, so you may see what I meant by a riot of colours!

Have a good weekend!
