“I believe in everything until it’s disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it’s in your mind. Who’s to say that dreams and nightmares aren’t as real as the here and now?”
― John Lennon

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 posted on November 9, 2017. 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 – 25:
- Fall colors that light up the mood – as captured by Ramya
- The true colors from New York, says Alana
- Angela’s tree love from Kerala
- Trees that stand tall like soldiers, says Balaka
- A birch as seen by Archana and some history too
A piece of trivia – isn’t it cool that today is October 26 and this post is 26th Tree Love? You’re welcome!
Liked the quote. This time, i posted a plant. Not sure if it qualifies for the linkup. ☺

Parul I think you and I are on the same wavelength because I wrote my post yesterday inspired as I was by my last week’s visit to Bhuleshwar. And today after I posted it and visited your post I was amazed that my tree too had something to do with worship !
And as you pointed out 26th post on 26th! There’s something to be said for synchronicity.

Nice shot and it reminds my childhood days spent in my native. A tree with a small temple to worship, located near Kaveri river. Feeling nostalgic.

Glad it brought some memories. And from Kaveri? This picture is where Ganga is so see how similar India is despite its differences.

Trees and Hinduism form a strong bond. Out here it is a temple bonded with a tree, often people worship just a tree. Trees like Peepul and Banyan have strong bonding with our religion, life and culture.

Fascinating tree! It appears “tied” to it’s community, and that the community depends on it and finds comfort in it.
