“Here’s what I think: the only reason I’m not ordinary is that no one else sees me that way.”
― R.J. Palacio, Wonder
I have watched this tree many times on my way to work. It was a normal scene until one day I realized how special it was. Since you all loved the Rain tree in the previous edition, I dug into my archives and found another. I hope that like this tree, your days are filled with all that you want.
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 25, 2020. 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. 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.

Thank you for sharing another rain tree Parul.
Oggy’s Wonder has simple life lesson’s in every other page of the book.
Fascinating how R.J Palacio’s first journey as an author imparted hope in so many lives.
Have a good week Parul and safe days ahead. I’m sorry you’ve been having trouble commenting. But I was happy to see it was eventually resolved. Thanks for your patience.

The only reason I prefer Bangalore over any other Indian cities is the abundance of trees. The city thankfully has still maintained nature to a large extent. I am loving this tree so much.

I love rain trees too and remember your last one. I was meaning to share one from my Kochi trip and now I will post it definitely. I love how huge they become and how they spread out their canopy, completely shading the road below.
Here is my post about the Sacred Bael tree which is favorite of Lord Shiva and his devotees.

Aren’t the raintrees in Bangalore simply beautiful? Ever since coming to live in this city, I’ve come to love them and thankfully, despite the rampant fellings and the destruction of trees in the name of urban development and what not, one can still see them in the city, albeit in lesser numbers than before.
I’m late in posting this time, Parul but joining in for sure. Here goes my post: https://mysoultalks.com/2020/06/16/the-journey-of-a-tree-thursdaytreelove/
