“You don’t get to choose if you get hurt in this world…but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like my choices.” ― John Green
I am taking the liberty to show you today this big Banyan tree from my recent archives and also on some of my social media. This was a moment that I was happy without a care about anything. Also, a moment that I spent feeling amused that this was such a huge tree with roots all around. See that smile? That shows how I felt when no shot seemed to cover this tree. And yes, spotted it on my weekend walk in my neighborhood.
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 February 25, 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 am so glad you took the liberty – I’m not sure what’s more awesome, that tree or your smile! I can only imagine how incredible it must’ve been to stand next to that amazing tree!
In fact, I was trying so hard to imagine that I completely spaced sharing my link when I first saw your post… oopsies… lol! Here’s my contribution & look forward to seeing more tree love in a few days!
