“You are never alone as long as you are in the company of your precious self.”
― Miya Yamanouchi
We spotted many such trees on the highways in Rajasthan. Lone but green and healthy – a true reminder that we need ourselves first.
Thursday Tree love is a photo feature on this blog and is hosted on 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month. The next edition will be live on February 8, 2018. If you would like to play along, post a picture of a tree on your blog 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. 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.
Before you go, don’t forget to check the lovely trees shared on #ThursdayTreeLove – 31:

A lone tree by the desert side is a show of kindness of nature. A lone shady tree saving a traveler from the harsh sun. Yesterday, I was thinking along the same lines as you have said here – “We need ourselves first.” My thought was even if there is no one to hold us or hug us, we can be that person for ourselves who holds us and hugs us. Joining you today again with my post 🙂

Such a powerful thought, dear Parul. After all we come into this world alone and leave alone too. So, finally it’s our stand alone spirit that tides us through ups and downs in life.
Hoping to link us. 🙂

The tree grows practically right on the road. Seems random – how did it get there? Truly a self sufficient tree. My entry: http://ramblinwitham.blogspot.com/2018/01/palms-at-night-thursdaytreelove.html

So thought-provoking! And that quote definitely speaks to me, Parul! A lesson of life that we all need to live by, no matter where we are stationed in life, because we are going to need to fall back on it some time or the other.

Nice capture, Parul. Looks like a Khejri tree which is found plentiful in western Rajasthan. I’m sure you must be aware about this tree.
I guess my last week’s post for Thursday Tree love didn’t happen.

Thank you for sharing the name of the tree. As much as I love trees, I don’t know the names. I can recognize Banyan, Peepal, Neem, Mango and Guava.
I did not get your link. 😦 Sorry! If you can leave a link after publishing, I will make sure to not miss it. Will add it right away.

No, this is not khejri tree. It seems more like vilayti keekar (prosopis juliflora) because the branches & leaves are drooping. Khejri is not so drooping. Anyways only spines differentiate between the two. Thus, you are partially right. Genus is same that is prosopis. A word for the blogger. All right, before you say, I know this is not a tree nomenclature website. I understand your point.
