“There comes a time when the world gets quiet and the only thing left is your own heart. So you’d better learn the sound of it. Otherwise you’ll never understand what it’s saying.” ― Sarah Dessen
When #ThursdayTreeLove was just 9 editions old, I had posted a tree from my hometown. The one that I can see from the terrace of my parent’s home. This was over 4 years ago. This Diwali when I was visiting my parents, I went up the terrace to catch a glimpse of the tree and what you see is the same tree. The view is hidden by a building but I did spot girls cycling around it. COVID has made schools quieter but it’s still a delight watching life get back to normal.
Thursday Tree love is a photo feature hosted on this blog on every 2nd and 4th Thursday of a month. The next edition will go live on December 9, 2021. If you would like to play along, post a picture of a tree on your blog, tell me where did you spot the tree and link it back to this post.
If you don’t see the pingback, please leave a link to your post in my comments section. Please make sure that your post’s link is showing up on this latest edition. I will link your posts on my blog in the next edition and spread some love. Let’s come together to appreciate the beautiful nature around us.

I love how healthy the tree looks. And the school girl – her uniform looks like the one I wore in Thailand for a year.

I just had a look at the older post on this tree. Wow! that was quite a view!
I’m sure it’s great to keep going back and catching up with the tree, each time. I wonder what we’ll see here on your next visit home. 🙂
Thank you so much for hosting, Parul.
My next post is of trees (and some grape-vines) in their fall colors. 😉
Have a lovely week. 🙂

Maybe the next visit to home would never happen. My parents are moving to Delhi and this was probably my last trip to the hometown I grew up in. Gives me a tug in my heart as I write this.

It is always lovely to go back and see things we used to see, especially nature. Nature changes all the time around us, but often trees stand for a long time. The tree you describe has seen many people and days and years, and carries with it so many stories.Hope you are doing well, Parul. Take care 🙂
