“Hope smiles from the threshold of the year to come, Whispering ‘it will be happier’…”
― Alfred Lord Tennyson
The second wave has hit India hard and every day is a new peak. I have been very anxious. Today when I looked into my archives for Thursday Tree Love , this tree made me think of hope and better days ahead. Where ever you are, if you are reading this – I wish the best for you and your loved ones. May we all see the end of the tunnel and better days come soon.
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 May 13, 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.

Your tree is beautiful, and yes we in the United States (in the midst of us looking inward) have been hearing about the dire situation in India on our evening news broadcasts.

I love this purple bloom, Parul. The new wave has given shivers as I have been receiving a lot of news of near and dear ones tested positive. It is really scary and at the moment, I am keeping everyone in my prayers. Though it looked better than before here just a month ago, things are getting a little cloudy here too. Hoping for the good things amidst chaos!
