#ThursdayTreeLove – 131

ThursdayTreeLove – 131

In the last week of May, VT and I stepped out on a drive to a small hill in our city. It was a lovely day and we loved our time seeing the views of Bangalore from a hill top. We went there to watch the Sun set and came back as happy souls. What I also loved was that there were many trees around at the bottom of the hill. This Banyan tree must be old looking at those many aerial roots.

Don’t you think?

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 June 23, 2022. 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.

    1. So well said about sunsets, Alana. Banyan trees are considered auspicious in India and we see them around a lot. It’s also maybe a factor of the climate in India and that’s why they thrive. Thanks!

  9. Beautiful banyan. It could still be growing actually. Banyans grow from strangler figs, and these could be just the strangler vines which are still not consolidated into the trunk. One reason I think this could be so is because the canopy has not spread much yet. If you have closer photos you could tell. In any case, a beautiful banyan, with probably a long life ahead of it.

    I have the flowers and leaves of a tree this time. Only close ups, because the tree was in a forest, and the trunk half hidden by undergrowth:

    A better botanist?

    The aerial roots looks amazing but I’m curious and sad to see the banner being hung on them.
